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. |
