Usage Instructions

How to Use the Component in a Circuit

  1. Mounting the Breaker: Securely mount the breaker onto a DIN rail in the distribution board.
  2. Wiring:
    • Connect the input terminals (L1, L2, L3, N) to the power supply.
    • Connect the output terminals (L1, L2, L3, N) to the load or downstream circuit.
    • Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent arcing or overheating.
  3. Operation:
    • Switch the breaker to the "ON" position to allow current flow.
    • In case of an overload or short circuit, the breaker will trip to the "OFF" position, cutting off the current.
  4. Resetting:
    • After resolving the fault, switch the breaker back to the "ON" position to restore power.

Important Considerations and Best Practices

  • Ensure the breaker is rated appropriately for the circuit's current and voltage requirements.
  • Do not exceed the rated current of 32A to avoid damage to the breaker or connected equipment.
  • Regularly inspect the breaker for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
  • Always turn off the main power supply before installing or servicing the breaker.
  • Use appropriate tools and follow local electrical codes and standards during installation.
