Assignment of Terminal Blocks

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTROCUTION FOR VOLTAGES ABOVE 480 VAC
If a voltage greater than 480 Vac is connected to a terminal, it is forbidden to connect adjacent terminals to a 24 Vdc SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) power supply in order to observe the insulation distances. For example, if you connect a 690 Vac supply to the UC4 terminal block, you must not connect a 24 Vdc SELV supply to the SDE2 terminal block.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The following table describes the assignment and the availability of the terminal blocks for fixed circuit breakers:

  • Standard terminal blocks and the associated accessories are delivered with the circuit breaker.

  • Optional terminal blocks are delivered with the circuit breaker only if the associated optional accessories are installed in the circuit breaker.
