Appendix
A.1
The article number system
The article number comprises 16 positions and further positions for additional options. Each
position codes a property of the ordered circuit breaker. The coding of these positions is
explained below and illustrated with an example article number that is built up step by step.
Note
You can simply and quickly put together the article number of an individually configured
circuit breaker using the Online Configurator
(https://mall.industry.siemens.com/mall/en/WW/Catalog/StartConfigurator?configId=11&node
Id=10027213&kmat=3WL10&bookmark=). In the Online Configurator, impermissible
combinations are automatically excluded in the article number. If you compile the article
number yourself based on the following lists, you must check the exclusion criteria yourself.
You will find more information in Catalog 3WL10 (see Chapter Reference documents
(Page 7)).
