Standards

The 3AH4 vacuum circuit-breakers comply with the regulations:

•

IEC 62271-1 and

•

IEC 62271-100

All 3AH4 vacuum circuit-breakers comply with the specifications for C2-, E2- and
M2-class circuit-breakers in accordance with IEC 62271-100.

Design approval as per X-Ray Ordinance

The vacuum interrupters installed in the vacuum circuit-breakers are of a design
approved under the X-Ray Ordinance (RöV) of the Federal Republic of Germany.
They meet the requirements of RöV of 8 January 1987 (BGbl. I, page 114) § 8 and
Annex II No. 5 up to the level of the rated voltage stipulated according to DIN
VDE/IEC.
