Benefit from
efficiency
Optimal selectivity
• Detection of short circuits when changing energy
flow direction due to directed short-circuit
protection
• Detection of dangerous discharge currents with
optimized ground-fault protection functions
Highest product quality
• High short-circuit breaking capacity at high
currents with up to 124 kA at 1,000 V
• Highest load capacity due to long-lasting
short-circuit breaking capacity at ICW (3 s)
Time and cost savings for switchgear
integration
• Easy switchgear integration meeting IEC 61439
without additional testing effort, if the 3WL air
circuit breaker is already integrated
• Installation of the 3WA air circuit breaker in an
existing guide frame of 3WL possible
