Tripped signaling switch via auxiliary release (S25)
The tripped signaling switch via auxiliary release (S25) signals tripping of the circuit breaker by
the shunt release or undervoltage release.
The tripped signaling switch via auxiliary release (S25) can only be used for 3VA27 molded
case circuit breakers with toggle.
Leading changeover switch (S26)
The leading changeover switch (S26) signals the closing of the main contacts (leading in the ON
direction) when the circuit breaker is opened.
The leading changeover switch (S26) can only be used for 3VA27 molded case circuit
breakers with handle.
Ready-to-close signaling switch (RTC)
The signaling contact for ready-to-close (RTC) is used to query whether the circuit breaker is
ready for closing. This signaling contact is always included in the scope of delivery of the circuit
breaker with a stored energy mechanism.
The following conditions must be met before the circuit breaker is ready to close:
• Circuit breaker in the OPEN position
• Springs charged
• Switch-o command or interlocking with switch-o command is not pending
• Circuit breaker reset due to tripping of the electronic trip unit ETU

Spring charged signaling switch (S21)
The spring charged signaling switch (S21) signals the state of the operator closing springs of the
circuit breaker on the auxiliary conductor terminal system. This signaling switch is also supplied
if a circuit breaker is congured with a spring charging motor.
The contact is available in the standard version or in a version for digital signals.
