Description
Close-open contact time
The interval of time - in a make-break operating cycle - between the instant when the contacts
touch in the first pole in the closing process, and the instant when the contacts of the internal
arc contact separate in all poles in the subsequent opening process.
Motor operating
mechanism
The operating mechanisms of the 3AH49 circuit-breakers are suitable for auto-reclosing.
For DC operation, the maximum power consumption is approx. 500 W. For AC operation,
the maximum power consumption is approx. 650 VA.
Protection equipment of the motor operating mechanism
The supply voltage may deviate from the rated supply voltage specified in the table
by –15% to +10%.

Closing solenoid (-Y9)
The closing solenoid 3AY1510 closes the circuit-breaker. After completion of a closing
operation, the closing solenoid is de-energized internally. It is available for AC or DC voltage.
Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
Shunt release
Shunt releases are used for automatic or deliberate tripping of circuit-breakers. They are
designed for connection to external voltage (DC or AC voltage). They can also be connected to
a voltage transformer for deliberate tripping.
Shunt releases based on two different principles are used:
• The
shunt release (-Y1)
3AY15 10 is used as standard in the basic circuit-breaker version.
With this design, the circuit-breaker is opened electrically.
Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
• The
shunt release (-Y2)
3AY11 01 with energy store is fitted if more than one shunt release
is required. With this design, the electrical opening command is transferred magnetically
and thus, the circuit-breaker is opened. Power consumption: 70 W or 50 VA.
Undervoltage release
Undervoltage releases (-Y7) 3AX1103 are tripped automatically through an electromagnet or
deliberately. The deliberate tripping of the undervoltage release generally takes place via an
NC contact in the tripping circuit or via an NO contact by short-circuiting the magnet coil. With
this type of tripping, the short-circuit current is limited by the built-in resistors.
Power consumption: 20 W or 20 VA.
Circuit-breaker tripping
signal
When the circuit-breaker is tripped by a release (e.g., by protection tripping) there is a signal
through the NO contact -S6. If the circuit-breaker is tripped deliberately with the mechanical
pushbutton, this signal is suppressed by the NC contact -S7.
