Features and benefits:

• High breaking capacity of 100 kA Icu at voltages up to 500 V AC, providing robust short-circuit protection in demanding industrial environments
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit with adjustable setting range (1.6 to 2.5 A) allows precise motor overload protection without requiring additional overload relays
• Phase failure sensitivity ensures the motor is protected against single-phasing conditions, preventing overheating and damage
• Spring terminals accept solid and flexible cables, enabling fast, tool-free wiring and reliable connections in compact panel builds
• Suitable for isolation (conforming to IEC 60947-1), allowing the device to serve as a local disconnecting means for the motor circuit
• Wide certification portfolio (UL, CSA, ATEX, DNV-GL, BV, RINA, EAC, UKCA) supports global installation across marine, hazardous area, and international projects

Applications:

• Protection of small three-phase motors (up to 0.75 kW at 400/415 V) in industrial machinery and automation panels
• Motor branch circuit protection in manufacturing, HVAC, and building services control panels
• Marine and offshore electrical installations requiring DNV-GL, BV, or RINA certified equipment
• Hazardous area motor control applications where ATEX certification is required
• Compact motor control centres and DIN rail assemblies requiring high breaking capacity in limited space

Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-2 and EN/IEC 60947-4-1. Part of the Schneider Electric TeSys Deca range. Note: this product is scheduled for discontinuation on 30 September 2026.
