Classification
1. According to product pole number: classify into 2 poles, 3 poles and 4 poles. The forms of neutral poles (N poles) in 4-pole products are as follows:
◇ N pole is not installed with overcurrent trip element, and the N pole is always connected,and it will not open and close with other three poles.
◇ N pole is not installed with overcurrent trip element, and N pole is open and close with other three poles (N pole is open first and then close.)
◇ N-pole installed over-current tripping components are open and close with other three poles.
◇ N-pole installed overcurrent release components will not open and close together with other three poles.
2. Classify according to the rated short-circuit breaking capacity of the circuit breaker:
L: Standard type; M. Higher breaking type; H. High breaking type;
R: Ultra high breaking type
3. Classify according to operation mode: handle direct operation, rotary handle operation, electric operation;
4. Classify according to the wiring method: front wiring, rear wiring, plug-in wiring;
5. Classify according to the installation method: fixed (vertical installation or horizontal installation)
6. Classify by use: power distribution and motor protection;
7. Classify according to the form of overcurrent release: electromagnetic type, thermal electromagnetic type;
8. Classify according to whether there are accessories: with accessories, without accessories;
The accessories are divided into internal accessories and external accessories; internal accessories have four types: shunt release under-voltage release, auxiliary contacts and alarm contacts; external accessories have rotating handle operating mechanism, electric operating mechanism, interlock mechanism and wiring terminal block, etc. The codes of internal accessories are shown in the table below.
