Switch-disconnector 4p 500A 1500VDC
Switch-disconnectors N..DC in the special version for up to 1500 V DC can be used on 1- or 2 poles. The comply with the isolation properties even for earthed IT networks. Accessories, such as bridge kits, connection terminals and door coupling rotary handles enable individual installation in the most varied of distribution systems. Auxiliary switches, voltage releases and remote operators facilitate signaling and automation. Notes: main switch characteristics including positive drive according to IEC/EN 60204 und VDE 0113. Isolating characteristics according to IEC/EN 60947-3 and VDE 0660. Terminal type: a series connection is required for 2 pole switching according to the specified connecting possibilities. See accessories bridge kits. Switch can not be combined with plug-in / withdrawable units and / or connection on rear. for non-earthed networks > 1000VDC the installation must be configured such that the likelihood of a double earth fault is negligibly small.

Description	IEC/EN 60947-3 CCC China Compulsory Certificate Main switch characteristics including positive drive to IEC/EN 60204 and VDE 0113. Isolating characteristics to IEC/EN 60947-3 and VDE 0660. N switch-disconnectors can, in addition, be combined with NZM...-XU, NZM...-XA shunt releases and auxiliary contacts as well as with NZM...-XR... remote operator. For DC switching, all 4 contacts must be connected in series. Refer to the information on jumper kit accessories. Supplied as standard: Screw connection; box terminal optional. When working with ungrounded systems (e.g., IT), the installation must ensure that a double ground fault will be impossible. Switch can not be combined with plug-in/withdrawable units and/or connection on rear.
