The Module number appears on the right of the module. 8.6 Protections – types, number of poles EURODIM Twin Tech is a standard cabinet to suit all installation types (IEC 60364). All configurations relay on the used plug in modules.
Additionally, the breaking of the contacts is sequential: first control, then power, and Earth last. ADB has taken precautions that there is a minimal impact in case this rule is forgotten. When a module is plugged into the cabinet – first the protection earth is connected, then the supply and load supplies are connected and finally the control wiring connection is performed.
EURODIM TWIN TECH 8.10 Installing Dimmer Modules When inserting dimmer modules in to the crate please do so carefully. If the modules are forced into the crate, the connectors on the back may be damaged, or in the worst case the backplane PCB of the dimmer cabinet is damaged.

125% in the Neutral – how can I see this for myself? You can see this with a simple set-up which requires only basic equipment: - any 3-phase dimmer, e.g. an ADB MEMOPACK or MICROPACK, connected to a three- phase star supply (3P+N+E) - three identical lamp loads e.g.
EURODIM TWIN TECH 12.6 Main transformer, cables, switchgear, busbar systems The main transformer, the switchgear and the supply cables to the dimmer cabinet carry these non-sinusoidal currents. This is valid for all phase-control dimmers (thyristor, triac, and some transistor dimmers), independent of brand and manufacturer.
In this chapter we would like to discuss the dimension and types of MCB used for our dimmers. For 3 kW circuits ADB uses 13 A and for 5 kW circuits 20 A rated MCB with C Curve. Below we will explain why we use these values; it has been carefully designed in our product, for your maximum safety and protection.
