Closing solenoid (Y9)
The closing solenoid 3AY1510 closes the circuit-breaker. After completion of a closing operation, the closing solenoid is de-energised internally. It is available for AC or DC voltage. Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA. The shunt releases are used for automatic and deliberate tripping of circuit-breakers. They are designed for connection to external voltage (DC or AC voltage). In special cases, for deliberate tripping, they can also be connected to a voltage transformer. Shunt releases based on two different principles are used: The shunt release (Y1) 3AY1510 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) 3AX1101 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.
Shunt releases
Undervoltage release
Undervoltage releases are tripped automatically through an electromagnet or deliberately. The deliberate tripping of the undervoltage release generally takes place via a NC contact in the tripping circuit or via a 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. When the circuit-breaker is tripped by a release, there is a signal. If the circuit-breaker is tripped deliberately with the mechanical pushbutton, this signal is suppressed. The c.t.-operated release 3AX1104 is adequate for a tripping pulse of " 0.1 Ws in connection with adequate protection systems. It is used if auxiliary voltage is missing, tripping via protection relay.

The switchgear can be disposed of in an environment-compatible manner in compliance with existing legislation. The components of the switchgear can be recycled as mixed scrap; however, dismantling as far as possible into sorted scrap with a residual mixed-scrap portion is the more environmentally compatible way. Electronic scrap has to be disposed of in accordance with the existing regulations. The switchgear consists of the following materials: Sheet-steel, powder coated Copper Aluminium Cast resin Fibre-reinforced plastics Rubber materials Ceramic materials Lubricants Bolts, washers, nuts, rivets As delivered by Siemens, the switchgear does not contain hazardous materials as per the Hazardous Material Regulations applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany.
