From 0.5 to 30A also suitable as Manual Motor Controller according UL 508 and CSA 22.2 No. 14
The AC versions of the AS168X (trip characteristics F, G and H) can also be used now in the current range from 0.5 to 30 A as Manual Motor Controllers for direct control of motors connected across-the-line (direct-on-line). We fulfill the requirements of UL 508 and CSA 22.2 No.14 for the application as Manual Motor Controller intended for use as a Motor disconnect. The approvals of UL 1077, CSA 22.2 No.235 and EN 60950 remain valid. The AS168X can be used thus as a Circuit Breaker of Equipment (CBE) or as a Manual Motor Controller (MMC). The new approbation as Manual Motor Controller means: - suitable as Motor Overload Protection (thermal and magnetic) - suitable as Motor Starting across-the-line (direct-on-line) - suitable as Motor Starting with Motor disconnect (cos phi 0.4 - 0.5) - suitable as Motor Group Installation (short circuit capacity 5 kA) - suitable for Control Circuits In order to derive the rated current of the AS168X from a motor capacity, the approval includes a HP?Rating (Horsepower). |
