Inter-pole barrier

Permits the ACB to be padlocked in the An inter-pole barrier prevents a possible

Earthing device
There is a growing demand in L.V. distribution for greater pro-
tection against electric shock particularly during periods when
maintenance work is being carried out on the main busbars or
cables. A safe and economical way to meet this requirement is
to apply system earthing via the normal service breaker.
Earthing devices on TemPower2 ACBs comprises; Permanent
parts which are factory fitted by Terasaki and are mounted on
the ACB chassis and body to enable the ACB to receive the
portable parts. Portable parts are supplied in loose kit form
and are fitted on to the ACB body by the customer's engineer.

IP cover

An IP cover provides an IP55 grade of
protection as defined in IEC 60529.

This converts the ACB from a normal service device to an
earthing device.
When the ACB is converted to the earthing device mode, the
over-current release and the other electrical tripping devices
are automatically disabled to prevent the remote opening of
the ACB.
It is recommended that the ON-OFF operating buttons be pad-
locked to prevent manual opening of the ACB when used in
the earthing mode.
UVT function can not be applied to the earthing device.

Operation Environments

Standard environment
The standard environment for ACBs is as follows:
Ambient temperature –5°C to +40°C
The average temperature for 24
hours must not exceed 35°C.
Relative humidity 45% to 85%
Attitude Below 2000 m
Atmosphere Excessive water vapor, oil vapor,
smoke, dust, or corrosive gases
must not exist.
Sudden change in temperature, con-
densation, or icing must not occur.
Recommendation for Busbars connection
The busbars to the ACB should be firmly supported near the ACB terminal. Fault currents flow through the busbars developing a
large electromagnetic force between the busbars, and the support must be strong enough to withstand such forces. The ACB
should not be relied on as a single support.
