General data
Rated current coding unit between circuit breaker and guide
frame
Withdrawable circuit breakers and guide frames are equipped
with a rated current coding unit as standard.
This ensures that only circuit breakers whose penetration blades
are suited to the laminated contacts of the guide frame can be
inserted into a guide frame (see diagram below).

Equipment-dependent coding
Withdrawable circuit breakers and guide frames can be retrofit-
ted with an equipment-dependent coding unit.
This allows different designs of circuit breakers and guide fra-
mes to be uniquely assigned. If the circuit breaker and guide
frame have been assigned different codes, the circuit breaker
cannot be inserted.
36 different coding options can be selected.
Position indicator switch for guide frames
The guide frame can be equipped with position indicator swit-
ches. These can be used to determine the position of the circuit
breaker in the guide frame.
Two versions are available:
•Option 1
Connected position 1 CO contact,
test position 1 CO contact,
disconnected position 1 CO contact.
•Option 2
Connected position 3 CO contacts,
test position 2 CO contacts,
disconnected position 1 CO contact.

Phase barriers
The plant engineering company can manufacture phase barriers
made of insulating material for the arcing fault barriers. The rear
panel of the fixed-mounted circuit breakers or guide frames are
equipped with guide grooves.
Arc chute cover
The arc chute cover is available as optional equipment for the
guide frame. It protects switchgear components which are loca-
ted directly above the circuit breaker.
Door sealing frame and cover
SENTRON 3WL circuit breakers have degree of protection IP20
as standard. However, if the switchgear is to be equipped with a
higher degree of protection, a door sealing frame with IP41 and
a cover with IP55 are available.
