Issued November 989 Instruction Leaflet Motor & System Protection PKZ RS stock no. 34- Figure Protective switch Remote operator Auxiliary contacts 00 Contact module General A three pole modular system for motor and system protection up to 40A rated current. The basic unit (RS stock number 34- ) may be matched with a selection of trip blocks, having adjustable overload and short circuit releases, to provide the protective switch. There are two types of trip block, one for motor protection with single phase sensitivity, and the other for system protection. A contact module is available for combination starter applications. The remote operator gives the option of manual or remote operation of the system. Protective switch Inherently short circuit proof range <A/4V Switching capacity outside this range 30kA/4V 7 trip blocks for motor protection trip blocks for system protection allowing optimum adaptation to the requirements of the individual system. Plug in trip block for easy adaption. Motor protection circuit-breaker with single phase sensitivity. Current limiting characteristics limit dynamic load on system. The appropriate trip block may be selected from table and plugged directly into the basic unit (see figure ) to give the correct combination protective switch for a particular application. Figure Short circuit indicator Visible isolating gap Adjustable shortcircuit release Sealing facility Padlockable thumb-grip knob, switching status indication ON/OFF/TRIPPED Plug-in trip block Adjustable overload release Tripping function test Coding The protective switch gives indication of a trip condition by the position of the operating handle. There is a short circuit indicator to provide differential indication between an overload or a shortcircuit trip. Removal of the trip block provides a visible isolating gap and the trip block may only be removed in the off position. The trip block may be coded using small pins in the flap, to only fit a particular base unit within a panel. The unit may also be sealed so that the trip block may not be removed. The protective switch is padlockable in the OFF position.

Contact Module Contact module fitted for operational switching with integral auxiliary contacts (N/O N/C) Three operating voltage options available (4V, V & 40V, 0Hz) Switching capacity of the protective switch increased to 0kA up to 00V. The contact module extends the function of the protective switch to give a starter combination with a kw maximum rating at 4V. The lifespan of the contact module is one million operations, whereas that of the protective switch is 0,000 operations. The module is fitted directly to the protective switch by plugging into the base. It is secured by captive screws. Figure 4 Figure.3..3..3.43.4..4. or N/O N/C.

The handle will then slip off easily. The extension shaft coupler then fits on the exposed shaft. The handle is supplied non-interlocked. To give door interlocking the tag on the rear of the switch should be removed as shown in figure 9. The tag should be levered out with a screwdriver and removed using cutters or pliers. There is a second tag on the rear of the handle which, if removed, facilitates padlocking in either the ON or OFF position (see figure ) Figure Figure 9 Door Interlocking Trip W Trip W 0 OFF 0 OFF max. 3 padlocks 4...8mm 4
