Undervoltage releases

If there is no voltage present, closing of the breaker is not

possible

If voltage is not applied to the trip unit, operation of the circuit-breaker will result in no-load switching

All undervaltage releases have been designed and tested to fulfill all

applicable requirments in accordence with IEC 60947 ( release voltage 0.70 to 0.35 Ue, response voltage 0.85 to 1.10 Ue



24


SIEMENS

Shunt release

It is used for remote tripping of the circuit-breaker

The coil of the shunt release is designed for short-time operation only

A coil trip is implemented internally

ST coil comes equipped with its dedicated cut-off contact

These devices operate in compliance with IEC 60947 ( tripping voltage 0.70 to 1.10 Ue)




25


SIEMENS

Auxiliary switches (HS) are used for ON and OFF position indication

and control

The alarm switches (AS) are active when the circuit-breaker has been tripped due to an overcurrent e.g. overload or short-circuit
