Trip-free mechanism
The 3AH vacuum circuit-breakers are
equipped with a trip-free mechanism
according to IEC 60 056 and VDE 0670.
In the event of an opening command being
given after a closing operation has been
initiated, the moving contacts return to
the open position and remain there even
if the closing command is sustained.
This means that the contacts of vacuum
circuit-breakers are momentarily in the
closed position under these circumstan-
ces, which is permitted according to
IEC 60 056 and VDE 0670.

Shunt releases
Shunt releases are used for

relays and for deliberate trip-

They are intended for connec-

cases, may also be connected
