FAQs

What is the primary function of an undervoltage release?

An undervoltage release automatically trips a circuit breaker when the supply voltage drops below a safe operating level, protecting connected equipment from damage.

What is the required control voltage for the A9N26960?

The A9N26960 requires a control voltage of 220-240V AC at either 50Hz or 60Hz.

Which circuit breaker series is this undervoltage release compatible with?

It is compatible with Schneider Electric Acti 9 series circuit breakers including C40, C60, DT40, IDPN, DT60, C120, DPN Vigi, ITG40, IDc, and ID C40.

What are the physical dimensions of this device?

The device has a width of 18 mm, a height of 73.5 mm, and a depth of 82.5 mm.

Can this be used in a DC electrical system?

No, this undervoltage release is designed specifically for AC control voltages (220-240V AC) and is not suitable for DC systems.

How is the undervoltage release connected electrically?

It features screw terminals for electrical connection.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range is from -25 °C to 50 °C.

Troubleshooting

Undervoltage coil does not trip the breaker when voltage is low.

Verify the control voltage is within the 220-240V AC range. Ensure the coil is correctly wired and securely connected to the circuit breaker. Check that the circuit breaker itself is functioning correctly.

Breaker trips intermittently without apparent voltage drop.

Inspect wiring for loose connections or damaged insulation. Check for sources of electrical noise or interference that might be affecting the coil's operation. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the operating range.

Difficulty mounting the coil to the circuit breaker.

Confirm that the circuit breaker is from a compatible Acti 9 series. Ensure no obstructions are present on the mounting interface of both the breaker and the coil. Refer to the specific mounting instructions for the connected circuit breaker.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides critical safety by preventing equipment damage from undervoltage conditions.
  • Compact 18mm width saves space in electrical panels.
  • Easy and secure screw terminal connections simplify installation.
  • Wide compatibility with numerous Acti 9 series circuit breakers.
  • Reliable operation with AC control voltage suitable for common power systems.

Cons

  • Requires a specific AC control voltage (220-240V) and may not be suitable for DC systems.
  • Only compatible with specified Schneider Electric Acti 9 series circuit breakers.
  • Minimum voltage trigger point is fixed at 230 Vac.
  • The 3A current rating is for the coil itself, not the main circuit breaker it controls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The A9N26960 undervoltage release is designed to be mounted on the side of compatible Schneider Electric Acti 9 circuit breakers. Ensure the main power is completely disconnected before installation. Connect the control wires to the screw terminals according to the wiring diagram provided with the circuit breaker or the undervoltage release. Mount the unit securely to the breaker.

Compatibility: This undervoltage release is specifically designed for use with the following Schneider Electric Acti 9 series circuit breakers: C40, C60, DT40, IDPN, DT60, C120, DPN Vigi, ITG40, IDc, and ID C40. It requires a control voltage of 220-240V AC at 50Hz or 60Hz.

Care: Minimal care is required. Periodically inspect the connections to ensure they remain tight. Keep the area around the device clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures outside the specified operating range (-25 to 50 °C).
