When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for applications requiring currents exceeding 20A, as it may lead to overheating or equipment failure. It is also not suitable for environments with extreme moisture or corrosive atmospheres unless housed in an appropriate protective enclosure.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Rated current: 20A
• Mounting type: DIN-rail
• Device type: Tariff switch

How to use

The Eaton Z-TS20/3 should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed to be snapped onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure that all wiring connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent loose contacts. Once installed, the switch can be integrated into the control circuit to toggle between tariff rates automatically or manually depending on the system configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 20A rating is sufficient for your specific circuit load.
• Ensure your distribution board has enough space for a modular DIN-rail device.
• Confirm compatibility with your existing three-phase electrical system.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the terminal connections for tightness and ensure the device remains free from dust and debris to maintain optimal performance over its service life.
