Note
Automatic charging/close
A separate alarm switch contact (7-8) can be connected for automatic charging after tripping.
Automatic switching on of the molded case circuit breaker must be prevented, otherwise
after a tripping event it may automatically switch to short-circuit.
The contact of auxiliary contactor K1 or K3 prevents no-load operation of the molded case
circuit breaker when the undervoltage release "U<" is without power. No-load operations
represent a high level of stress for the molded case 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 molded case circuit breaker cannot be switched.
This auxiliary contactor is not necessary in principle when the undervoltage release is
supplied uninterrupted (e.g. pushbutton S01) from the same source as the motorized
operating mechanism itself (e.g. contact 4).
