Caratteristiche principali:
- 2-Pole design for protection of two conductors.
- C-curve tripping characteristic for general applications.
- 16 Amp corrente nominale.
- Suitable for 110 Volt AC systems.
- Installazione a parete.
- UL and CSA certified.
3. Istruzioni di sicurezza
- Prima di installare o effettuare la manutenzione dell'interruttore automatico, scollegare sempre l'alimentazione dal pannello di servizio principale.
- Utilizzare dispositivi di protezione individuale (DPI) adeguati, come guanti isolanti e occhiali di sicurezza.
- Ensure all wiring connections are tight and secure to prevent overheating and fire hazards.
- Non utilizzare l'interruttore automatico se appare danneggiato.
- Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any part of the installation or operation.
- Adhere to all local and national electrical codes (e.g., NEC in the USA).
4. Installazione (configurazione)
4.1 Strumenti richiesti:
- Screwdriver (appropriate size for terminals)
- Spellafili
- Voltagetester
- Dispositivi di protezione individuale (DPI)
4.2 Passaggi di installazione:
- Disconnessione dell'alimentazione: Locate the main service panel and turn off the main circuit breaker to completely de-energize the electrical system. Verify with a voltage tester that power is off.
- Montaggio: The S202-C16 is designed for wall mounting. Securely attach the circuit breaker to a suitable mounting surface within an appropriate enclosure, following manufacturer guidelines for panelboard or enclosure installation.
- Cablaggio:
- Connect the incoming line wires to the designated line terminals (typically at the top).
- Connect the outgoing load wires to the designated load terminals (typically at the bottom).
- Ensure proper wire gauge is used for the 16 Amp rating and 110 Volt system.
- Tighten all terminal screws to the specified torque settings (refer to device markings if available, otherwise consult general electrical standards).
- Verifica: Double-check all connections for tightness and correct polarity. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
- Chiusura del recinto: Close the panelboard or enclosure cover securely.
- Ripristino dell'energia: Riaccendere l'interruttore generale.
5. Funzionamento
The ABB S202-C16 Miniature Circuit Breaker features two toggle switches, one for each pole, to control the flow of electricity.
- Posizione ON: Push the toggle switch(es) fully upwards to the 'ON' position to allow current to flow through the circuit.
- Posizione OFF: Push the toggle switch(es) fully downwards to the 'OFF' position to interrupt current flow and de-energize the circuit.
- Posizione SCATENATA: If an overcurrent (overload or short circuit) occurs, the circuit breaker will automatically trip. The toggle switch(es) will move to an intermediate or 'TRIPPED' position (often center or slightly below center). To reset a tripped breaker, first move the switch(es) fully to the 'OFF' position, then push it/them fully to the 'ON' position.
Note: If the circuit breaker repeatedly trips, do not attempt to force it on. This indicates a persistent fault in the circuit that must be investigated and resolved by a qualified electrician.
6. Manutenzione
L'interruttore automatico ABB S202-C16 è progettato per richiedere una manutenzione minima. Tuttavia, si raccomanda un'ispezione periodica per garantire prestazioni e sicurezza ottimali.
- Ispezione visiva (annuale): With power disconnected, visually inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, loose connections, or corrosion.
- Pulizia: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the circuit breaker with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Tenuta del terminale: Periodically check the tightness of terminal connections, especially after initial installation and during routine electrical system checks. Ensure power is off before checking terminals.
Do not attempt to open or repair the circuit breaker. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If the device is damaged or malfunctioning, it must be replaced by a qualified professional.
