The HGV3 motor protection circuit breaker (also called a motor air switch) is designed for 3‑phase motors. It provides overload, phase loss, and short‑circuit protection, supports infrequent motor starting, and works with AC voltages up to 690V and currents from 0.1A to 80A. Compliant with international standards, it also functions as an isolator for electrical line protection and load transfer.
Ideal for motor control centers (MCCs), industrial automation panels, agricultural machinery, HVAC systems, and pumping stations, the HGV3 series delivers reliable protection in harsh environments with its robust thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism.
Normal Operating & Installation Conditions
- Ambient temperature: -5°C to +40°C (24‑hour average not exceeding +35°C).
- Altitude: ≤ 2000m.
- Relative humidity: ≤ 50% at +40°C; higher RH allowed at lower temperatures (no condensation).
- Pollution degree: Level 3.
- Installation category: Category III.
- Mounting position: Up to ±5° from vertical.
- Vibration & shock: Install in locations free from significant shaking, shock, and vibration.
- Wire size: Refer to terminal capacity (screw type, suitable for copper conductors).
