This circuit is deployed in order to prevent no-load operation of the molded case circuit
breaker. The contact of auxiliary contactor K1 prevents no-load operation when the
undervoltage release "U<" is de-energized.
No-load operations subject the molded case circuit breaker to high stresses. If the
undervoltage release is de-energized, auxiliary contactor K1 has not picked up. The contact
in the ON circuit (control circuit) of the motor operator is thus not closed, that is, the molded
case circuit breaker cannot be switched.
This auxiliary contactor is not necessary when the undervoltage release is supplied
uninterrupted (e.g. pushbutton S01) from the same source as the motor operator itself (e.g.
contact 3).
