8.3  Main connection methods for plug-in and withdrawable version 
Main conductor connection for plug-in and withdrawable version 
There are different methods of connecting the circuit breaker main conductors for the plug-in 
and withdrawable version. 
Plug-in socket: Connection on the front with busbar connection pieces 
Plug-in sockets simplify installation and removal of the SENTRON VL circuit breakers. The 
circuit breaker has been developed together with the plug-in socket in such a way as to 
prevent disconnection in the "ON" position. Busbars or cables can be connected on the front. 
A connection cover is supplied and is to be used both for the incoming and the outgoing 
side. An additional phase barrier for insulation between the connections is possible (see 
Connection covers/barriers and phase barriers). If the circuit breaker is in the connected 
position, the primary voltage is supplied via multiple clamping contacts in the guide frame
