Final Distribution Boards: Protecting single-phase circuits (lighting, outlets, appliances) where switching the neutral is required or desired for complete isolation.
Industrial Control Panels: Protecting 240V control circuits or single-phase equipment feeds needing L+N isolation in high-density layouts.
Commercial Installations: Branch circuit protection for single-phase loads requiring 6kA breaking capacity and neutral switching.
IT / Datacom Racks: Protecting power feeds to equipment where both line and neutral disconnection is preferred.
Applications with RCDs: Often used downstream of Residual Current Devices where full isolation is necessary.
Configuration: This is specifically a 1 Pole + Neutral device (protection on L, switching on L+N). Do not use for 2-phase (L1/L2) 415V applications.
Interrupting Capacity: Ensure the 6kA rating meets the installation's prospective fault current level at 240 Vac.
Curve 2: Suitable for general loads; assess load characteristics to confirm suitability (vs. Curve 1 for high inrush).
Mounting: Use the Dual Mount feature for installation flexibility on either DIN or Mini rail.
Wiring: Connect Line to the protected pole and Neutral to the switched neutral pole. Use 0.75-25mm² wire (IEC), torque terminals to 2.5 Nm (IEC).
Temperature Stability: Leverage the hydraulic-magnetic design in environments with varying temperatures.
Isolation: Provides safe isolation of both Line and Neutral conductors for maintenance.
