• Standard: IEC/EN 60947-2 1. Application The MA3 series air circuit breaker (ACB), referred to as ACB hereafter, is designed for distribution systems to distribute power and protect circuits and power supply devices against faults such as overloads, under-voltage, short circuits, and single-phase grounding damage. The ACB off ers multiple protective functions and high selection protection, enhancing the reliability of power supply.

4. Structure of ACB ACB: draw-out and fi xed type. The draw-out type is mounted on the base, while the fi xed type is mounted in the frame. in the frame.
5. Use of ACB ACB energy storage The ACB employs energy storage for the operation mechanism spring before closing. There are two methods: manual energy storage and motor energy storage. • Manual energy storage Repeatedly press the handle 6-7 times until a “click” is heard. At that point, the mechanism transitions from release to storing energy, indicating the completion of energy storage.

ACB closing • ON button (I): Press the ON button (I), the mechanism status changes from “store” to “discharged”, and the status indicator changes from “O” to “I”, then close. • Closing Electromagnet: For ACBs equipped with a closing electromagnet, pressing the electric closing button can close the ACB.

ACB open • OFF Button: Press the OFF button (O), the status indicator changes from “I” to “O”, then open. • Shunt Release: For ACBs equipped with a shunt trip release, pressing the electric opening button can open the ACB. Operable power supply range for shunt trip release: (70%~110%) Us.

Store Store the ACB in a dust-free and dry environment with temperatures ranging from -25°C to +55°C and a relative humidity of less than 95%. Ensure that the ACB is in the OFF state and discharged before sealing it. Avoid storing it in high humidity or salt spray environments to prevent corrosion of metals and conductive parts.
