Accessories

Auxiliary contacts
The following are available using the standard 
group of 10 auxiliary contacts and the maximum 
number of electrical accessories.

For withdrawable circuit breakers:
•  Nine closing contacts “a” for signaling circuit 

breaker open and eight opening contacts “b”  
for signaling circuit breaker closed

Fixed-mountedcircuit breakers are available with a 
choice of two finishing accessories (to be specified 
when ordering):
•  Non-wired auxiliary contacts
•  Auxiliary contacts pre-wired to the terminal box

Following are ratings of the auxiliary contacts 
internal to the ADVAC® 38 kV circuit breaker.  
All contacts are high speed rotary wiping contacts 
that actuate directly off the main operating shaft 
of the breaker.

Auxiliary contacts -BGB1 conform to the following 
standards, regulations and directives:
•  IEC 62271-100
•  IEEE C37.54
•  EN 61373 cat.1 class B impact and vibration test
•  Germanish Loyd regulation vibrations envisaged 

by the shipping registers

•  UL 508
•  EN 60947 (DC-21A DC-22A DC-23A AC-21A)
