Appendix
A.1 The article number system
3VA27 molded case circuit breakers & 3WL10 air circuit breakers
270 Manual, 10/2018, L1V30499596002-01
For some positions of the article number, a more detailed selection can be useful or
necessary. For example, when selecting a communication connection (position 9), the
communication module (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, etc.) must be defined.
This is done with the Z options that are appended to the article number. The number of Z
options depends on the individual configuration of the circuit breaker. No Z options are also
possible.
Z option rated current I
n
:
You can choose a rating plug that is below the rated current I
n
of the circuit breaker. This is
useful, for example, if the circuit breaker has already been chosen with a higher rated current
than is required for the existing installation with a view to future expansion of the overall
installation.
Rating plug:
Z option code
= OFF
Rating plug with RC function
Z option choice of communication module
With this Z option, the communication module for the first slot is defined.
A second communication module with a further Z option can additionally be selected from
the list. This module then occupies a further slot that is no longer available for other
modules.
