WARNING
Danger to life due to dangerous electrical voltage from an external auxiliary supply
When the external auxiliary supply is connected, dangerous voltages are present in the
cabinet unit even when the motor starter protector is switched off. Death or serious injury
can result when live parts are touched.
• Observe the general safety rules when working on the device.
Setting the release current for the circuit breakers
When delivered, the circuit breakers are set to the rated current of the cabinet unit on the line
side. Depending on the plant configuration, it can make sense to set lower values. The
appropriate specifications are given in the operating instructions supplied with the circuit
breaker.
