Consequences |
---|---|
The number of operating cycles depends directly on the electrical and mechanical endurance of the device. |
Device service life depends on the daily number of operating cycles. |
Example: Influence of operating cycles on the service life for a MasterPacT MTZ2MasterPacT NT/NWMasterPacT MTZ2 2000 A device.
