When it may not be suitable

This device is designed for manual switching operations and is not intended for use as an automatic circuit breaker or for protection against overcurrent and short-circuit faults. It should not be installed in environments that exceed its specified voltage or current ratings, nor in locations with extreme environmental conditions that fall outside the manufacturer's recommended operating parameters.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 4
• Rated current: 63A
• Rated voltage: 400V
• Mounting type: DIN-rail
• Application: Manual circuit disconnection

How to use

The switch is designed for mounting onto a standard DIN-rail within an electrical distribution board or control cabinet. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Secure the device onto the rail until it clicks into place. Connect the electrical conductors to the appropriate terminals, ensuring that all connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating. Once installed, the switch can be operated manually using the front-mounted toggle to open or close the circuit as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 63A current rating matches your circuit requirements.
• Ensure the 4-pole configuration is compatible with your electrical system layout.
• Confirm that there is sufficient space on your DIN-rail for the device width.
• Check that the operating voltage of 400V aligns with your local power supply.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that the installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. Periodically inspect the terminal connections to ensure they remain secure and free from signs of thermal stress.
