HIGH PERFORMANCE CBEs
The AS168X is a thermal magnetic high performance CBE to IEC 934
and a «supplementary protector» to UL 1077. It is capable of drasti-
cally limiting the «let-through energy» in case of short circuit interrup-
tions. The series is available in units from one to four poles for use in
AC and DC circuits. Multi-pole devices are connected internally and at
the handle for simultaneous operation. This applies also to combina-
tions with the switched neutral pole. Well designed screw type term-
inals at line and load side are provided for safe and easy connection
to line and load. They accept #16 to 4 AWG / 1,5 to 25 mm2.
AS168X Series
• Excellent short circuit and
energy limiting performance
• AC and DC versions
Accessories
• Auxiliary contact module
Each auxiliary contact module contains one contact,
either normally open or normally closed.
• Signal contact module
Signal contact modules are linked internally with the protected
poles but not linked at the handles.Contacts are actuated by a fault
condition at the protected poles, not by the manual operation of
the CBE.
• Relay trip module
The relay trip module can be used for remote tripping of the
adjacent poles by applying a voltage to the module’s terminal.
• Switched neutral pole (factory assembled)
This module permits an automatic opening of the neutral line when
the protected poles have been tripped.
Features
• Excellent short circuit performance (up to 10 kA)
• High limits of discrimination (due to energy limitation)
• Wide choice of characteristics (Adaptability)
• Availability of AC and DC in the same frame size
• Compact, «finger safe» design
• Ease of installation (on DIN rail)
• Worldwide approvals
