Switch disconnector Doepke

Switch-disconnectors and main switches disconnect electrical consumers or system parts completely from the electrical supply at all terminals. They also switch under load or in the event of overload. They are used to switch off electrical consumers for maintenance work and to protect the system. The series DHS 2 devices are switch-disconnectors or main switches in two-pole design. Their design makes them excellent for integration in the optics of the DFS residual current circuit-breakers. Properties: high short-circuit resistance and high switching capacity; double-sided two-tier terminals for large conductor cross-section and busbars; switch position indicator; Mounting: quick fastening to mounting rail; any installation position; Application areas: especially suitable for use in main distribution boards in power supplies to large areas, such as campsites, marinas, allotment gardens and showrooms; Hints: In practice, load switches, disconnectors and switch-disconnectors are used as main switches under EN 60947-3. The load switch must switch on, direct and switch off currents under operating conditions in the circuit (including a fixed operation-compatible overload). When switched off, no isolating function is required. A load switch is therefore not suitable for safe disconnection as understood in international installation regulations. Disconnectors must meet the required criteria for an isolating function when switched off, but must switch only currents of insignificant size during operation. The combination of both designs is known as a switch-disconnector. which combines both properties in one and can therefore be used universally for the safe release of electrical systems.
