Suitable for

• Residential energy management systems
• Commercial electrical distribution boards
• Automated tariff switching applications
• Control of electrical heating or cooling circuits

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in high-voltage industrial power grids or circuits exceeding the specified 13-20A current range. It is also not suitable for outdoor environments without an appropriate protective enclosure, as it is designed for installation within standard indoor distribution cabinets.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current range: 13-20A
• Mounting type: DIN rail
• Application: Tariff switching

How to use

The Eaton Z-TS20/1 should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. Once mounted, the input and output power cables must be securely connected to the designated terminals, ensuring that the wire gauge is appropriate for the current load. After installation, the switch operates automatically based on the external tariff signal or control system connected to it.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your circuit current requirements fall within the 13-20A range.
• Ensure there is sufficient space on the DIN rail in your distribution board.
• Confirm compatibility with your existing tariff control system.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power supply is completely disconnected before attempting to install or service the switch. Regularly inspect the terminal connections to ensure they remain tight and free from oxidation to maintain optimal electrical conductivity.
