Note the following: WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage, installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any problems.
Overview Description In conjunction with a 24 V or 48 V power supply, the selectivity module is used to distribute the load current across several branches and to monitor the individual currents in these branches. Faults in the individual branches caused by overload or short-circuit are detected and selectively switched off, so that the fault does not impact the other load circuits.
