Integrated varistor
With the varistor integrated in the motors, the inductances of the circuit-breaker operating
mechanism and the circuit-breaker control system can be operated with DC. The integrated
varistor limits the overvoltage to approx. 500 V and is available for all rated operating
voltages.

Insulating gas SF
6
Sulphur hexafluoride SF
6
according to IEC 60 376 is used as insulating gas. SF
6
insulates live
parts between each other and against earth potential.
