4.3.1 Withdrawable design - standard
feature design (SFD)
The withdrawable units provide a fixed contact system.
Disconnected, test and connected position can be effected
by moving the withdrawable unit (Fig. 4/6). In discon-
nected or test position, degree of protection IP30 is
achieved. Moving the withdrawable unit under load is
prevented by an operating error protection.
Withdrawable units in SFD provide a detachable cover.
Controls and signalling devices are installed in an instru-
ment panel and integrated into the withdrawable unit
cover (Fig. 4/7). The contact system can be applied up to a
rated current of 250 A. All withdrawable units are equipped
with up to 40 auxiliary contacts. In SFD, normal withdrawa-
ble units with a withdrawable unit height of 100 mm or
higher (grid size 50 mm) can be used. Tab. 4/8 summarizes
the characteristics of withdrawable units in SFD.
