Slim solutions, exceptionally modular The streamlined system Space is always a very important feature when selecting a product. The modularity of CAPAROC even allows multi-channel circuit breaker systems to be assembled. This saves considerable space without having to accept any limitations to the system. Therefore, all operators can assemble systems tailored to their specific application and remain flexible in terms of maintenance and extendibility. One system with an overall width of just 50 mm reliably protects 12 circuits. The system is comprised of the narrow CAPAROC PM S-R feed-in module and three 4-channel circuit breaker modules. Here, an overall width of just 4 mm is required for each protected output. Each channel can be configured as required via the single-button operation and setting functions. This ensures the appropriate protection for every single channel. In addition, the outputs for I >80% and state monitoring ensures that the status of the 24 V supply system is clear to see. Channels that have been switched off can also be switched back on remotely via the reset input. The streamlined system with potential distribution In conventional installations, additional separate blocks are installed in the control cabinet for the return conductor, with terminal blocks for negative. This makes the installation more complex and requires significantly more space. With the option of a tailored modular assembly, potential distribution is now also integrated conveniently into the system. At the same time, additional space is saved elsewhere. With the 1-channel circuit breaker modules in combination with the 0 V potential distributor modules, positive and 0 V are set up in pairs. Color-coded Push-in connections provide visual support and, with a diameter of 4 mm², provide sufficient space for larger cross-sections. Installation and commissioning are therefore quick and error-free. Nine circuits with positive and 0 V are created, taking up a width of just 124 mm. Moreover, the quick and clear connection of all load circuits is ensured. The communicative system: Making system information transparent Each CAPAROC system can be upgraded easily with a PROFINET feed-in module. This allows system data to be read off and set conveniently. It is also possible to block this system data if required, preventing tampering. The 2-channel circuit breaker modules allow nominal currents to be set conveniently and read off. The rotary switch with six stages can be used to regulate and read off the nominal currents at any time, regardless of the voltage. The multi-level characteristic curve is supported by intelligent load detection in order to detect every load start-up and to safely disconnect errors. The colored status LEDs display the status of every single channel. Therefore, on-site operators can see whether the system is running seamlessly. With two outputs per channel, two circuits can be protected at the same time. This means that a very compact, communicative system that takes up a width of just 124 mm and that can be adapted with modular components can be assembled – all at a width of less than 8 mm per channel.
