 Undervoltage releases
Products for
Power Distribution

 If there is no voltage present,

closing of the breaker is not
possible
 If voltage is not applied to the trip
unit, operation of the circuit-breaker
will result in no-load switching
 All undervaltage releases have been
designed and tested to fulfill all
applicable requirments in accordence
with IEC 60947 ( release voltage 0.70 to
0.35 Ue, response voltage 0.85 to 1.10 Ue
