Connecting the power supply

 

Requirements for the power supply

 

Choose a power supply unit that is suitable for the currents in your application. The selection depends on the system configuration and the resulting maximum currents.

 

warning signWARNING: Loss of electrical safety when using unsuitable power supplies. Dangerous shock currents.

 

The CAPAROC system is designed exclusively for protective extra-low voltage (PELV) operation in accordance with EN 60204-1. Only protective extra-low voltage in accordance with the defined standard may be used for supply purposes.

 

Only use power supply units that ensure safe isolation in accordance with EN 50178 and EN 64010-2-201. They prevent short circuits between the primary and secondary circuit.

 

warning signWARNING: Dangerous contact voltage in the event of ground faults

 

 

The CAPAROC modules for the low-voltage area must only be operated in grounded networks.

 

Connecting the power supply

 

The power supply is connected to the CAPAROC system via connections IN+ 1.1 and IN- 2.1 of the power module.


The other modules are also automatically supplied with power via the rear current rail.

System configuration for QUINT POWER with CAPAROC

 

The data from the power supply is forwarded to the CAPAROC circuit breaker system via the system interface and integrated into the network protocol. Communication is bidirectional. Data can be read and parameterized.

 

The data register is described in Section Config assembly, QUINT POWER, relay contact.
