Accessories and auxiliaries
Rotary handles
There are two types of rotary handle:
b
direct rotary handle
b
extended rotary handle.
There are two models:
b
standard with a black handle
b
red handle and yellow front for machine-
tool control.
Direct rotary handle
Standard handle
Degree of protection IP40, IK07.
The direct rotary handle maintains:
visibility of and access to trip-unit settings
b
suitability for isolation
b
indication of the three positions O (OFF), I (ON) and tripped
b
access to the "push to trip" button.
b
Device locking
The rotary handle facilitates circuit-breaker locking.
Padlocking:

position does not prevent free circuit-breaker tripping if a fault occurs. In this case,
the handle remains the ON position after the circuit breaker tripping. Unlocking is
required to go to the tripped then the OFF position.

handle to obtain the same functions as with a padlock.
Early-make or early-break contacts (optional)
Early-make and/or early-break contacts may be used with the rotary handle. It is thus
possible to:
supply an MN undervoltage release before the circuit breaker closes
b
open the contactor control circuit before the circuit breaker opens.
b
MCC switchboard control
Control of an MCC switchboard is achieved by adding a kit to the standard handle. In
addition to the standard functions, the kit offers the characteristics listed below.
Higher degree of protection IP
Degree of protection IP43, IK07.
The IP is increased by a built-in gasket.
Door locking depending on device position
The door cannot be opened if the circuit breaker is ON or in the tripped position.

open the door when the circuit breaker is closed. This operation is not possible if the
handle is locked by a padlock.
Circuit-breaker closing is disabled if the door is open. This function can be
b
deactivated.
Machine-tool control in compliance with CNOMO
Control of a machine-tool is achieved by adding a kit to the standard handle. In
addition to the standard functions, the kit offers the characteristics listed below.
Enhanced waterproofness and mechanical protection
Degree of protection IP54, IK08.

Extended rotary handle
Degree of protection IP56, IK08.

Door locking can be temporarily disabled with a tool to open the door without
opening the circuit breaker. This operation is not possible if the handle is locked by a
padlock.
