1 normally open contact 16A/250V AC. No standby loss. Modular device for mounting on DIN-EN 60715 TH35 rail. 1 division unit = 18mm wide, 58mm deep. Maximum capacitive load 240µF after rectifier (e.g. energy saving lamps and electronic ballasts) or 120µF directly on the mains (e.g. parallel compensated fluorescent lamps). Limiting resistor 12¿, limitation duration approx. 15ms. The inrush current pulse of energy saving lamps, fluorescent lamps and compact fluorescent lamps is limited to 20A by briefly (approx. 15ms) switching on high-load resistors (12¿). The current limiting relay is connected downstream of the relay contact of a switching device to be protected. Continuous load max. 1200W, maximum switching frequency 600/h. Explanation of the capacitive load specification: The specification of the maximum capacitive load directly on the mains must be observed, for example, with parallel-compensated fluorescent lamps or conventional ballasts. The capacitor per lamp that is parallel to the mains determines the correct dimensioning. The specification of the maximum capacitive load after the rectifier must be observed, for example, with fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts and energy-saving lamps. A replacement capacity of approx. 10µF per lamp can be expected.
