10.3.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility
10.3.6 Utilization Classes
Regulation DIN EN 60947-4-1 (VDE 0660 Part 102), and/or IEC 60947-4-1 
differentiate two utilization classes designated as "Utilization class 1" and "Utilization 
class 2". With both utilization classes, the short-circuit to be controlled is safely 
switched off. The only difference is the degree of damage to the device after a short-
circuit.

Utilization class 1
The fuseless load feeder can be inoperative after each short-circuit tripping. Damage to the contactor and the 
overload release is permissible. With 3RA1 load feeders, the circuit breaker itself always has utilization category 2.
Utilization class 2
After a short-circuit tripping, there must be no damage to the overload release or any other part. The 3RA1 fuseless 
load feeder can be restarted without any components needing to be replaced. Only welding of the contactor contacts 
is permissible, as long as they can be separated easily without any noticeable damage.
These utilization classes are highlighted in the Technical Data by an orange background.
