Device avoids redundant contactors
CMDs monitor the state of the contactor's main contacts and compare this with the voltage applied to the coil.
The Xpole range is strong on safety and features such as new terminal guides which make it impossible for MCBs or combination MCB and RCDs to be wrongly connected.
Special terminal markings also help ensure reliable fitting.
MCBs and RCBOs can be sealed in the on or off position.
The current rating is clearly recognisable by unique colour-coded toggles, while the contact position is plainly indicated.
Ingress protection to IP20 ensures even greater safety against accidental contact.
Convenience is designed into the Xpole range; MCBs, RCBOs and accessories can be snap-fitted and removed thanks to a clever new three-position latching system that clips onto the DIN rail.
The devices' mounting height of 80mm ensures there is plenty of space available for wiring.
All the devices in the new range are upward compatible, so they can be combined with the modules of the previous range.
The Xpole range provides the customer with a comprehensive choice of products covering standard RCDs to sophisticated selectively operating overvoltage protection devices for highly sensitive electronic equipment.
