Working Mechanism
- The switch is installed in a circuit to control the flow of electrical current.
- When the switch is in the on position, the contacts are closed, allowing current to flow through the switch and the circuit.
- When the switch is in the off position, the contacts are open, interrupting the flow of current.
- When the overcurrent protection device detects an overcurrent, it trips the switch and opens the contacts, interrupting the current flow.
- The switch can be reset by manually moving the handle to the OFF position and then back to the ON position.
- The switch also has a variety of accessories, such as auxiliary contacts and shunt trips, which can be used to enhance its functionality and control.
Features
- These switches have a compact and space-saving design for use in tight spaces.
- They can be flush / surface / DIN rail mounted for flexible installation.
