5.2. Reference Standards
The VD4 circuit-breakers conform with the IEC
62271-100, DIN VDE 0670, CEI 17-1 file 1375
Standards and those of major industrialised coun-
tries.
5.3. Fixed circuit-breaker
The fixed circuit-breaker (fig. 4) is the basic ver-
sion complete with structure and front protection
screen. The fixing holes are made in the lower
part of the structure.
For the electrical connections of the circuit-
breaker auxiliary circuits, the terminal box (10)
is available (also see par. 7.8.1.).
The earthing screw is placed in the rear part of
the circuit-breaker. For further details, please see
the caption to figure 4.
