Circuit diagrams
Circuit diagrams of the DIGmat S100 and the 3WL non-automatic
air circuit breaker
Application examples
The connection to the circuit breakers is not dependent
on direction and polarity; the circuit diagrams can be adapted
accordingly.
If the parallel or series connections are made directly to the
connecting bars, for thermal reasons the continuous load on the
circuit breakers must only be 80 % of the permissible operational
current. If the parallel or series connection is made at a distance
of 1 m from the connecting bars, the circuit breaker can be used
at full operational current load.
