Description
Breaking capacity of auxiliary switch 3SV92:
Closing solenoid (-Y9)
The closing solenoid 3AY1510 closes the circuit-breaker. After completion of a closing
operation, the closing solenoid is de-energized internally. It is available for AC or DC voltage.
Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
Shunt releases
Shunt releases are used for automatic or deliberate tripping of circuit-breakers. They are
designed for connection to external voltage (DC or AC voltage). They can also be connected to
a voltage transformer for deliberate tripping.
Shunt releases based on two different principles are used:
• The
shunt release (-Y1)
3AY1510 is used as standard in the basic circuit-breaker version.
With this design, the circuit-breaker is opened electrically. Power consumption: 140 W or
140 VA.
• The
shunt release (-Y2)
3AX1101 with energy store is fitted if more than one shunt release
is required. With this design, the electrical opening command is transferred magnetically
and thus, the circuit-breaker is opened. Power consumption: 70 W or 50 VA.
Undervoltage release
Untervoltage releases (-Y7)
3AX1103 are tripped automatically through an electromagnet or
deliberately. The deliberate tripping of the undervoltage release generally takes place via an
NC contact in the tripping circuit or via an NO contact by short-circuiting the magnet coil. With
this type of tripping, the short-circuit current is limited by the built-in resistors. Power
consumption: 20 W or 20 VA.
Circuit-breaker tripping
signal
When the circuit-breaker is tripped by a release (e.g. by protection tripping) there is a signal
through the NO contact -S6. If the circuit-breaker is tripped deliberately with the mechanical
pushbutton, this signal is suppressed by the NC contact -S7.
Varistor module
The inductances of the circuit-breaker operating mechanism and the circuit-breaker control
system (motor, closing solenoid, shunt release and auxiliary contactor) are equipped with the
varistor module 3AX1526 for DC operation. The module limits the overvoltage to approx. 500
V and is available for rated operating voltages from 60 V (DC) up to 220 V (DC). It contains two
separate varistor circuits.

Overvoltages in inductive circuits
Electrical control devices can be damaged by switching overvoltages.
➭ Do not switch off inductive consumers in DC circuits.
