The WEG ACW Series of Molded Case Circuit Breakers are designed to
provide overload and short-circuit protection for industrial electrical
equipment. Available in four different compact frame sizes, the ACW is
a top performing, safe, reliable solution for applications from 15 to
800Amps. Common eld installable plug-in accessories simplify
selection and minimize inventory variations.

Under voltage release

The under voltage release automatically opens a circuit breaker when

voltage drops to a value ranging between 35% to 70% of the line voltage.
The operation is instantaneous, and after tripping, the circuit breaker
cannot be reset until the voltage returns to 85% of line voltage.
