Note
Automatic reset/close
A separate alarm switch contact (7-8) can be connected for automatic reset after tripping. To
prevent a fault occurring in the protected circuit, automatic closing of a tripped circuit breaker
is not recommended.
The contact of auxiliary contactor K1 or K3 prevents no-load operation of the circuit breaker
when the undervoltage release "<U" is without power. No load operations represent a high
level of stress for the circuit breaker. If the undervoltage release is without power, auxiliary
contactor K1 or K3 has not picked up. The contact in the ON circuit (control circuit) of the
motorized operating mechanism is thus not closed, that is, the circuit breaker cannot be
switched.
This auxiliary contactor is not necessary in principle if the undervoltage release is supplied
uninterrupted (e.g. pushbutton S01) from the same source as the motorized operating
mechanism itself (e.g. contact 4).
