Undervoltage release with leading auxiliary contacts
The undervoltage release with leading auxiliary contacts has the same function as the
undervoltage release without auxiliary contacts.
Additional functions:
● The auxiliary contacts ensure that the undervoltage release is only energized during the
motor starter protector's ON time.
● The auxiliary contacts isolate the overvoltage release from the line on both sides when
the voltage is disconnected or in the event of tripping, thereby preventing vagabond
voltages from getting into the control circuit when the switch is set to OFF. This requires a
conductive connection between outputs D2 and 08.
● Because the contacts are leading contacts, the power supply to the undervoltage release
is assured before the remaining steps involved in switching on are carried out.

The voltage range is valid for 100% (infinite) ON period. The response voltage lies at 0.9 of the lower limit of the voltage
range.

The voltage range is valid for 5 s ON period at 50 Hz/60 Hz AC and DC. The response voltage lies at 0.85 of the lower
limit of the voltage range.
