How to use

Install the miniature circuit breaker according to local electrical regulations and manufacturer instructions. Connect the live and neutral conductors to the two poles, ensuring cable sizes are within the specified range (3G0.75 mm² to 3G1.5 mm²). Ensure the device is mounted and sealed appropriately for outdoor conditions to maintain the IP55 rating. Test the device after installation by using its test function or following standard commissioning procedures.

Recommendations

Periodically test the residual-current function (typically every three months) and inspect the enclosure for damage or ingress that could compromise the IP55 protection. Replace the device if it fails to trip on test or shows signs of wear.
