Guia d'instal·lació

Follow these steps carefully for the correct installation of your EDM 02566 Magnetothermic Circuit Breaker. Ensure all safety precautions are observed.

1. Preparació: Turn off the main power supply to the electrical panel where the circuit breaker will be installed. Use a voltage tester to confirm that the power is completely off.
2. Identify Breaker Slot: Locate an available slot on the DIN rail within your electrical distribution board.
3. Muntatge: Position the circuit breaker onto the DIN rail. Press firmly until it clicks securely into place.
4. Wiring - Input (Top Terminals):

   Connect the incoming live (L) wire to the top terminal marked 'L' (or the un-marked terminal on the right, as per typical wiring diagrams for this type of breaker). Connect the incoming neutral (N) wire to the top terminal marked 'N'. Ensure wires are stripped to the correct length and securely fastened by tightening the screw terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram below for clarity.

   

   Figura 1: Wiring Diagram. The diagram illustrates the connection points for the incoming (Entrada) and outgoing (Salida) Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires. The 'N' terminal is clearly marked for the neutral connection.

5. Wiring - Output (Bottom Terminals):

   Connect the outgoing live (L) wire for the circuit you are protecting to the bottom terminal corresponding to the live input. Connect the outgoing neutral (N) wire to the bottom terminal marked 'N'. Tighten all screw terminals firmly to prevent loose connections, which can cause overheating.
6. Verifica les connexions: Double-check all wiring connections to ensure they are correct and secure.
7. Restaura l'alimentació: Un cop finalitzada i verificada la instal·lació, restableu l'alimentació al quadre de servei principal.

Funcionament

The EDM 02566 Magnetothermic Circuit Breaker operates automatically to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overcurrent or short circuit. It also provides a manual means to disconnect power to a circuit.

• Posició ON: Push the switch lever upwards to the 'ON' position to allow current to flow through the circuit.
• Posició OFF: Push the switch lever downwards to the 'OFF' position to manually disconnect power to the circuit.
• Posició disparada: If an overcurrent or short circuit occurs, the breaker will automatically trip to an intermediate or 'OFF' position (depending on the specific mechanism). This indicates a fault in the circuit.
• Reinici d'un interruptor automàtic disparat: To reset a tripped breaker, first identify and resolve the cause of the trip (e.g., unplug overloaded devices). Then, firmly push the switch lever completely to the 'OFF' position before pushing it back to the 'ON' position. If the breaker immediately trips again, do not attempt to reset it repeatedly; consult a qualified electrician.

Manteniment

Magnetothermic circuit breakers like the EDM 02566 are generally maintenance-free. However, periodic checks can help ensure their continued reliable operation:

• Inspecció visual: Inspeccioneu periòdicament l'interruptor automàtic per detectar qualsevol signe de danys físics, decoloració o connexions soltes.
• Neteja: Ensure the area around the circuit breaker is free from dust and debris, which can impede proper heat dissipation.
• Testing (Professional Only): For critical installations, professional electricians may perform periodic testing of circuit breakers using specialized equipment. Do not attempt to test the breaker by intentionally creating a short circuit.
• Estrènyer les connexions: Over time, screw terminals can loosen. A qualified electrician can periodically check and re-tighten terminal screws, ensuring power is off before doing so.

Resolució de problemes

If you encounter issues with your EDM 02566 Magnetothermic Circuit Breaker, consider the following common scenarios:

• Freqüència de salts de l'interruptor:

  This is usually an indication of an overloaded circuit or a short circuit. Unplug or turn off some devices connected to the circuit. If the problem persists, there might be a fault in the wiring or an appliance. Consult a qualified electrician.

• L'interruptor no es reinicia:

  Ensure you are pushing the lever fully to the 'OFF' position before attempting to push it to 'ON'. If it still doesn't reset or immediately trips again, there is likely a persistent fault on the circuit. Do not force the breaker. Seek professional electrical assistance.
• Sense alimentació al circuit (interruptor activat):

  Check if the main breaker for the entire panel is ON. Verify all connections to the circuit breaker are secure. If power is still not restored, there might be an issue with the wiring or the breaker itself. Contact a qualified electrician.

• El trencador té molta calor:

  A warm breaker can be normal under load, but if it's excessively hot to the touch, it could indicate an overload, loose connection, or an internal fault. Immediately turn off the circuit at the main panel and have it inspected by an electrician.
