Motor operating
mechanism
The operating mechanisms of the 3AH49 vacuum circuit-breakers are suitable for auto-
reclosing. For DC operation, the maximum power consumption is approx. 500 W. 
For AC operation, the maximum power consumption is approx. 650 VA.
The rated current of the motor protection equipment is shown in the following table:
 
The supply voltage may deviate from the rated supply voltage specified in the table 
by -15 % to +10 %.
The breaking capacity of the auxiliary switch 3SV92 is shown on the following table:
 
Closing solenoid (Y9) The closing solenoid 3AY1510 closes the circuit-breaker. After completion of a closing 
operation, the closing solenoid is de-energized internally. It is available for ac or dc voltage. 
Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
Shunt release Shunt releases are used for automatic or deliberate tripping of circuit-breakers. They are 
designed for connection to external voltage (dc or ac voltage). They can also be connected to 
a voltage transformer for deliberate tripping.
Shunt releases based on two different principles are used:
•The shunt release (Y1) 3AY15 10 is used as standard in the basic circuit-breaker version. 
With this design, the circuit-breaker is opened electrically. 
Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
•The shunt release (Y2) 3AY11 01 with energy store is fitted if more than one shunt release 
is required. With this design, the electrical opening command is transferred magnetically 
and thus, the circuit-breaker is opened. Power consumption: 70 W or 50 VA.
Undervoltage release Undervoltage releases (Y7) 3AX1103 are tripped automatically through an electromagnet or 
deliberately. The deliberate tripping of the undervoltage release generally takes place via an 
NC contact in the tripping circuit or via an NO contact by short-circuiting the magnet coil. 
With this type of tripping, the short-circuit current is limited by the built-in resistors. Power 
consumption: 20 W or 20 VA.
Circuit-breaker
tripping signal
When the circuit-breaker is tripped by a release (e.g., by protection tripping) there is a signal 
through the NO contact -S6. If the circuit-breaker is tripped deliberately with the mechanical 
pushbutton, this signal is suppressed by the NC contact -S7.
C.t-operated releases (Y6) The following c.t.-operated releases are available:
• The c.t.-operated release 3AX1102 consists of an energy store, an un latching mechanism 
and an electromagnetic system. Rated tripping current: 0.5 A/1 A
• The c.t.-operated release 3AX1104 (low-energy release) is adequate for a tripping pulse of 
≤  0.1 Ws in connection with adequate protection systems. It is used if auxiliary voltage is 
missing, tripping via protection relay.
