When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for applications requiring currents outside the 20-25A range or for systems operating at voltages exceeding its rated capacity. It is also not suitable for environments where automated remote tripping is required without the addition of specific auxiliary accessories.

Key specifications

• Current adjustment range: 20-25A
• Breaking capacity: 15kA at 400V
• Operation type: Manual push-button
• Protection type: Thermal-magnetic release

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical standards. The device is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within an electrical enclosure. Once mounted, the motor cables are connected to the terminals, and the thermal current is adjusted to match the specific requirements of the motor being protected. The push-button interface allows for manual switching and resetting of the device after a trip event.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the motor's full-load current falls within the 20-25A range.
• Ensure the electrical system voltage is compatible with the 400V rating.
• Check the available space in the electrical cabinet for DIN rail mounting.
• Confirm the short-circuit current levels of the installation do not exceed 15kA.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the device for signs of wear and ensure that the thermal settings are correctly calibrated to the motor's nameplate data to maintain optimal protection levels.
