Mounting
Universal mounting position using snap-on mounting
to standard 35x7.5mm DIN rail.
Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) can also be
mount ed to front of door using a panel cut-out with
breaker handle pro trud ing through panel opening for
external operation. Special front mount ing kit type
ME is avail able (see page 2.12).

Connection
Terminals are suitable for solid or fl exible conductors
from 18 to 4 AWG (0.75 to 25mm2) with no busbar
connected. When max i mum busbar size of 36 mm2
is used, maximum cable is 6 AWG (16 mm2).
Maximum tightening torque of 17.5 in-lb (2 Nm)
for line/load terminals and 4.5 in-lb (0.5Nm) for
ac ces so ry device terminals.

Operation
MCBs are switched on by moving the handle to the
upper po si tion. Stamped onto the handle switch, a “I”
is visible confi rming that the breaker is closed.
The MCBs are “trip-free,” if the handle is being
forced to the “ON” position, the breaker will still trip
under fault conditions.
The “O” marking indicates that the breaker is in the
“OFF” position. The MCB is now open and the load is
disconnected from line power.
When a breaker has tripped, the MCB handle should
fi rst be set to the full “OFF” position to make certain
the trip mechanism has been reset. Once the fault
has been determined and cleared the MCB can
again be switched “ON”.
Maintenance
ABB miniature circuit breakers require no special
maintenance; only normal electrical system
maintenance pro ce dures are required.

Busbars & connectors
Connection methods
Dual function terminals provided in open
position for connection to busbars. Pressing
on screw head opens box terminal for cable
insertion. Only the lower terminal is dual
func tion.
Lower terminals can be bussed together
with single phase or multi-phase busbars as
shown. Upper ter mi nals can also be busbar
con nect ed.
14
Terminals allow for con nec tion of cable 18-4
AWG. Conductors of different sizes may also
be used in same terminal.
Lower terminal can also be bussed with solid
round con duc tor.
Up to fi ve conductors, 16 AWG each, can be
safely connected per terminal.
Cables can be connected to box terminals in
addition to busbar con nec tions on lower, dual
function terminals.

Infl uence of frequency on electro-magnetic trips
Magnetic trip values shown on trip curves are valid for 50/60Hz ap pli ca tions. For
frequencies other than 50/60Hz, the mag net ic (in stan ta neous) trip values are
increased by the factor given below:
16
Approx. factor 1 1.1 1.2 1.5 1.5
Thermal tripping is independent of frequency.
