1. Safety Intended Use The nVent SCHROFF power distribution unit described in this manual is a power distribution unit used to supply AC mains power to electrical or electronic devices as a central power switch with emergency stop function. Intended use includes compliance with the terms and conditions for assembly, disassembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance specified by the manufacturer.
Safety symbols used in this manual In these original operating instructions, warning notices point out residual risks that cannot be avoided by constructive means when installing or operating the Power Distribution Unit. The warning notices are classified according to the severity of the damage occurring and the probability of its occurrence.
Safety Information for the Operator Only trained specialists are authorized to carry out assembly, commissioning, completion, maintenance and service of the power distribution unit. The nationally applicable health and safety regulations must also be adhered to. ⚠ WARNING Risk of injury due to insufficient personal protective equipment If you use the wrong protective equipment or no protective equipment at all, you could be seriously injured.
2. Power Distribution Unit Overview System description The power distribution unit is intended to supply AC mains power and various DC power to electrical or electronic devices as a central power switch with emergency stop function. The power distribution unit has a modular design and can be configured by the customer. Due to the modularity not all possible configurations can be described in this manual.

Circuit Breakers The outputs are protected by circuit breakers (5). The number of the circuit breaker corresponds to the number of the output, for example, X1 is connected to CB1, X2 is connected to CB2 and so on. ATTENTION Electrical overload hazard The total current consumption of all outputs must not exceed the current rating of the mains input.
2.10 Inrush Current Limiter (Option) The Power Distribution Unit provides an inrush current limiter as an option. The inrush current limiter is designed for capacitive loads. In the moment of switching-on the system the inrush current of the connected load will be limited for the defined time T Independent from the previous inrush level, the current limiting is always strict.
The “Service” AC outputs are not switched off via the Emergency Stop System. Emergency Stop safety features The Emergency Stop function of the nVent SCHROFF power distribution unit is controlled and monitored by a safety relay. The safety relay provides a safety-related interruption of the switched outputs. The safety relay meets the requirements of EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60204-1 in applications with E-STOP push buttons.
Emergency Stop Input and Output An additional emergency stop push button can be connected to the system at the "Emergency Stop" input (14). If no additional emergency stop push button is connected, the socket must be terminated with a jumper plug. (Scope of delivery) The "Emergency Status"...
