Miniature Circuit Breakers
Additional components
■
Overview
The Siemens mounting concept supports the combination of all
5ST3 additional components with Siemens 5SY and 5SP
miniature circuit breakers and with 5SU1 RCBOs.
5SL and 5SY60.. miniature circuit breakers are suitable for
mounting auxiliary switches and fault signal contacts. Auxiliary
switches can also be mounted on 5TE8 flush-mounting circuit
breakers and 5SG71 MINIZED switch disconnectors.
Auxiliary switches (AS)
The auxiliary switch (AS) always signals the contact position of
the miniature circuit breaker, regardless of whether the miniature
circuit breaker was tripped manually or as the result of a fault. An
additional version is also available for the switching of small
currents and voltages for the control of programmable control
systems (PLCs) acc. to EN 61131-2. The auxiliary switch with
test button enables the testing of control circuits without the
need to switch the miniature circuit breaker.
Fault signal contacts (FC)
The fault signal contact (FC) signals the automatic tripping of the
miniature circuit breaker in the event of a fault, such as an
overload or a short circuit. If the fault signal contact is activated,
the contact position does not change if the miniature circuit
breaker is tripped manually. Fault signal contacts with TEST and
RESET buttons enable the testing of control circuits without the
need to trip the miniature circuit breaker. The red RESET button
integrated in the handle also indicates the automatic tripping of
the MCB. The signal can be acknowledged manually using the
RESET button.
Shunt trips (ST)
Shunt trips are used for the remote tripping of a miniature circuit
breaker.
Undervoltage releases (UR)
Undervoltage releases are integrated (e.g. in EMERGENCY-OFF
loops), thus ensuring that the MCB trips in the event of an
emergency, which, in turn, ensures disconnection of the control
circuit according to EN 60204. In the event that the voltage is
interrupted or too low, it also trips, i.e. prevents activation of the
MCB.
Remote controlled mechanisms (RC)
Remote controlled mechanisms are used for the remote ON/OFF
switching of miniature circuit breakers and the remote ON
switching of RC units, as well as the local manual switching of
these devices. A blocking function permits maintenance work. In
the event that a miniature circuit breaker or RC unit is tripped, an
acknowledgment must be carried out prior to switching back on.
The remote controlled mechanism has an operating mode
selector switch with the functions: "Locked", "Manual" and
"Remote Switching".
Selector switch position:
OFF: The remote controlled mechanism is switched off, blocked
mechanically and can be sealed and/or locked.
RC OFF: Only manual operation is possible.
RC ON: Both manual and remote operation are possible.
In the event that a device is tripped by a fault (RC units, miniature
circuit breakers), the handle of the basic device and remote
controlled mechanism switches to the OFF position. The
operator must then acknowledge the tripping by resetting the
remote controlled mechanism (OFF command) before it can be
reactivated. This serves the safety of the installation or to protect
personnel during maintenance work.
In an RC unit/miniature circuit breaker combination, the RC unit
is switched on asynchronously, i.e. prior to the miniature circuit
breaker. The RC units for 5SY and 5SP4 can be switched ON via
the MCB handle jumper using the supplied actuator attachment.
There is no need to switch off the RC unit via the remote
controlled mechanism as the MCB contacts ensure
disconnection of the electrical circuit.
The switching frequency is max. 2 actuations per minute. If this
actuation frequency is exceeded it may cause internal tripping
of the remote controlled mechanism as a protection against
possible overload. In this case, the remote controlled
mechanism must be switched OFF at the function selector
switch and not switched back on again for at least 5 minutes.
More additional 5ST3 ... components, such as AS, FC, ST and
UR, can be added to the right-hand side of the remote controlled
mechanism in line with the Siemens mounting concept.
RC units
RC units can be combined with miniature circuit breakers of
characteristic A, B, C and D. They then form a combination of
RCCB and MCB for personnel, fire and line protection. The
combinations can be tailored to meet individual requirements.

More information
The Siemens mounting concept supports the combination of all
5ST3 additional components with miniature circuit breakers of
the 5SY, 5SP and 5SL4 series and RCBOs of the 5SU1 series.
5SL and 5SY60.. miniature circuit breakers are suitable for
mounting auxiliary switches and fault signal contacts. Auxiliary
switches can also be mounted on 5TE8 flush-mounting circuit
breakers and 5SG71 MINIZED switch disconnectors.

5SL6, 5SJ6 ...-.KS and 5SY miniature circuit breakerswith or
without mounted auxiliary switch (AS) or fault signal
contact (FC).

Busbars in 10 mm
and 16 mm2 versions are available.

also enables installation in any length as the busbars can be
No further need for time-consuming tasks, such as cutting,
cutting to length, deburring, cleaning of cut surfaces and
mounting of end caps.
Any free pins on the busbars can be made safe by covering with
touch protection.
