Overview
3NP5 fuse switch disconnector range
3NP5 fuse switch disconnectors are controls for the occasional
manual switching/isolating of loads and distribution boards.
They are able to switch on, control and switch off the specified
rated current (including a specific overload).
With the 3NP5 fuse switch disconnectors, all poles of down-
stream electric loads can be safely disconnected from the sys-
tem under load.

Application
The 3NP5 fuse switch disconnectors are ideally suited for
surface mounting and installation in distribution boards (e.g.
ALPHA, SIKUS), meter cabinets (e.g. ALPHA 400-ZS), and
molded-plastic distribution systems such as 8HP.
The ability to mount them on a range of different busbar systems
allows their very diverse implementation in switchgear cabinet
and control engineering.
The 3NP5 fuse switch disconnectors are ideal for operation in
combination with other switching devices, for example in capac-
itor modules for reactive-power compensation.
In conjunction with semiconductor protection fuses (e.g. SITOR),
these are used for the effective protection of frequency convert-
ers and soft starters.
The 3NP5 fuse switch disconnectors are suitable for use in any
climate and comply with standards IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-3
and DIN VDE 0660 Part 107.
In addition, the 3NP5 series of fuse switch disconnectors com-
plies with the requirements of BS 5419 and is also approved for
operation in marine applications.
All 3NP5 fuse switch disconnectors can be sealed as standard
(or can be sealed through accessories).
