Compliance with 17th Edition wiring regulations
Domae and Qwikline II consumer units from Square D, a brand of Schneider Electric, have been specifically designed to accept additional new RCDs, MCBs and RCBOs.
Everlink is designed to maintain a constant tightening force on the cables and provides a strong, safe and long lasting connection, even in the most arduous of conditions and applications.
The advantages of Everlink are: Reduced maintenance time - due to terminal re-tightening being no longer required, Safety of the connections provided by the BTR screw and its 4mm Allen key - which enables a high tightening torque (minimum 5Nm) and Increased Operator Safety due to the IP20 power terminations The new breakers have a rotary operator and this facilitates a high breaking capacity ( 50kA / 400v from 40 to 65 amps and 100kA / 400v from 9 to 32amps ).
The handle has 3 positions (on / off / trip ) and can be padlocked off.
Each breaker also has a trip test button and a sealable flap for protection of the thermal setting.
The GV3 breakers have an astute and versatile design offering the flexibility of using side and front mounted add-on blocks that are also common to the popular GV2 range.
All of the range are very compact at 55mmm wide and easy to install thanks to a din rail locking mechanism.
Clean and easy control wiring is achieved using an integrated wiring channel.
