Function

The 3KC0 transfer switching equipment is used in power supply networks for load transfers between the normal power source and an alternative power source with an interrupted supply at current ratings up to 1600 A. Switchovers are performed manually.
The 3KC0 can be used for switching between two main sources, one main source and one generator, or between two generators. It is possible to use the 3KC0 as transfer switching equipment for switching between two sources in compliance with IEC 60947-6-1. It is also possible to use the 3KC0 as a load transfer switch for switching between two loads in compliance with IEC 60947-3.

Procedure
5.3 Mounting the 3KC0 transfer switching equipment
1. Insert the transfer switching equipment with the plug-in assembly on the DIN rail from above.
2. Push the transfer switching equipment back until the plug-in assembly audibly locks into place on the underside.
1. Lever the first slide for DIN rail mounting out of the enclosure, e.g. using a slotted screwdriver. The slide locks into place audibly.
2. Lever the second slide for DIN rail mounting out of the enclosure, e.g. using a slotted screwdriver. The slide locks into place audibly.
3. Lift the transfer switching equipment off the DIN rail.
4. Push the first slide into the enclosure.
5. Push the second slide into the enclosure.
