Extended front-end terminals: M7430 (4 for expanding wiring space).

Spreaders: M7430/3 (3P), M7430/4 (4P), used to increase wiring spacing.

Rear terminals: M7450/P (3P), M7451/P (4P), convert fixed type to rear wiring type.

Terminal protective cover: M7C11 (3P), M7C12 (4P), improving IP20 protection.

5.6 Plug in/Pull out Accessories

Plug in special terminals: M7B11 (3P), M7B12 (4P).

Base: M7B13 (3P front wiring), M7B14 (4P front wiring), M7B15 (3P rear wiring), M7B16 (4P rear wiring). Base with leakage module: M7B17 (4P front), M7B18 (4P rear).

Pull out Debro lift mechanism: M7B22 (3P), M7B23 (4P), M7B24 (4P with leakage). Pull out the matching handle M7T412.

Pull out the position signal contact: M7T910N, indicating whether the circuit breaker is in the "insert" position.

Pull out auxiliary contact: M7B21 (automatic, up to 2).

Pull out key lock: M7B40 (for operating panel opening), M7B38 (for the mechanism itself), requires a universal key lock.

5.7 Universal Keylocks

Can be used to lock rotating handles, electric mechanisms, insertion/extraction mechanisms, etc. Specifications:

M7K01:1 lock+1 flat key, randomly coded

M7K02:1 lock+1 flat key, fixed code EL43525

M7K03:1 lock+1 flat key, fixed code EL43363

M7K04:1 lock+1 star key, randomly encoded

5.8 Other attachments

Padlock (locked in the "off" position): M7045.

Interphase partition (insulation shielding): M7295.

Extension rods are used for manual operation mechanisms.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

6.1 Circuit breaker cannot be closed

Possible reasons:

The undervoltage release is not powered (voltage below 70% Ue).

The shunt release is continuously powered (pulse signal is required, continuous power supply will burn out the coil).

The circuit breaker did not reset after tripping due to overload or short circuit (the handle is in the middle position of "tripping" and needs to be pulled to "open" before closing).

The electric operating mechanism has no energy storage or malfunction.

handle:

Measure whether the voltage at both ends of the undervoltage coil is normal.

Turn the handle to the "off" position and then try to close it.

Check the energy storage indicator and power supply of the electric motor mechanism.

6.2 Failure to trip in a timely manner during overload

Reason:

The long delay setting value Ir is set too high.

When the ambient temperature is below 40 ° C, the setting value is not appropriately increased (the tripping time is prolonged in cold state).

Three phase load imbalance leads to one phase current exceeding the standard but not triggering tripping (thermal magnetic tripping is a single-phase detection, if the phase is not overloaded, it will not act).

handle:

Re adjust Ir according to the actual load and ambient temperature (by dialing the release).

Measure the three-phase current, and if it is unbalanced, check the internal connections of the load or circuit breaker.

6.3 Attachments cannot function properly after installation

Frequently Asked Questions:

Incorrect linkage of auxiliary contacts after installation: Check if the auxiliary contacts are engaged in the dedicated slot on the side of the circuit breaker and if the follow-up mechanism is not detached.

Leakage module misoperation: Check if the neutral wire passes through the leakage transformer (N wire is required for 4P module) and if there is any ground leakage in the circuit (such as moisture or insulation damage).

The travel of the electric operating mechanism is not in place: adjust the length of the connecting rod between the mechanism and the circuit breaker handle, and check whether the power supply voltage is within the range of 85%~110% Ue.

6.4 Abnormal temperature rise

Reason:

Loose or poor contact of wiring terminals.

The cable cross-section is too small or the aluminum cable does not use copper aluminum transition terminals.

Poor ventilation inside the cabinet, with an ambient temperature exceeding 40 ° C.

handle:

Tighten the terminals according to the recommended torque (please refer to the product manual for the torque of the fixed wiring screws).

Use infrared thermography to check the terminal temperature. If the temperature difference with the environment exceeds 40K, it should be repaired.

Increase the use of fans or reduce the capacity inside the cabinet.

Shutdown replacement and upgrade

If the original Megatiker M4 model is discontinued (such as some specifications of the early T742 series), it can be replaced with a higher breaking capacity model of the same series (such as replacing F with N/H). Attention when replacing:

External dimensions and installation hole spacing: Within the same current level, the fixed installation dimensions are consistent (there is a slight difference in size between 250-400A and 500-630A, refer to the dimension diagram in section 3.1).
