FAQs

What does '2 Normally Open (NO) contacts' mean for this switch?

It means that in the normal (ON) position of the switch, these two contacts are closed, allowing current to pass. When the switch is moved to the OFF position, these contacts open, breaking the circuit. This configuration is often used for signaling or interlocking functions.

Is this switch fused?

No, the Schneider Electric Acti9 A9S60232 is a non-fused switch-disconnector. It provides isolation but requires separate fuses or circuit breakers for overcurrent protection.

What type of environments is the IP40 rating suitable for?

The IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and no protection against water. It is suitable for clean, dry, indoor electrical installations.

Can this switch be locked in the OFF position?

Yes, the A9S60232 supports padlocking devices, allowing it to be secured in the OFF position for enhanced safety during maintenance.

What is the maximum voltage and current rating?

The switch is rated for a maximum AC input voltage of 415V and a rated current of 32A.

How do I ensure safe operation when using this disconnector?

Always ensure the power is de-energized before working on the circuit. Use the Visisafe feature for clear status indication and engage any available padlocking mechanisms during maintenance.

Can this be used for DC circuits?

This specific model is designed and rated for AC circuits up to 415V. It is not intended for use in DC circuits.

Troubleshooting

Switch is difficult to operate

Check for obstructions around the handle mechanism. Ensure the DIN rail is properly seated and not causing stress on the unit. Verify correct installation alignment.

Unit does not switch circuits ON/OFF

Confirm that the main power supply is de-energized before attempting operation. Check wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly placed according to the terminal markings. Verify the load is not causing an overload condition.

Visible damage to the unit

If physical damage is observed, do not attempt to use the switch. Remove from service immediately and replace with a new unit.

Indicator doesn't match circuit status

Ensure the switch is fully engaged in the ON or OFF position. Verify the internal mechanism is not obstructed and the Visisafe indicator is functioning correctly. If persistent, the unit may require replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides safe isolation with Visisafe feature.
  • Compact and easy to install on DIN rails.
  • Durable construction for industrial environments.
  • Offers options for enhanced security and tamper prevention.
  • Clear state indication for operational safety.

Cons

  • Specific NO/NC contact configuration (2 NO, 0 NC) may not suit all applications requiring NC contacts.
  • Limited to 415V AC operation.
  • Requires manual resetting after a fault.
  • IP40 rating is suitable for dry indoor environments only.
  • Non-fused design means it requires separate overcurrent protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main power supply is de-energized before installation.
  2. Mount the A9S60232 onto a standard DIN rail (35mm) by clipping it securely into place.
  3. Connect the incoming power conductors to the designated terminals and outgoing conductors to the load terminals. Refer to the terminal markings for correct polarity and connection.
  4. Wire any auxiliary control or signaling circuits to the appropriate terminals, considering the 2 NO contact configuration.
  5. If desired, attach a compatible rotary handle and secure the unit with padlocking devices.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard 35mm DIN rail mounting systems.
  • Designed for AC circuits up to 415V and 32A. Ensure your circuit's specifications fall within these limits.
  • Requires separate overcurrent protection (fuses or circuit breakers) as it is a non-fused isolator.

Care:

  • Keep the unit clean and free from dust and moisture. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically inspect connections for tightness and signs of wear.
  • Ensure the operating handle moves freely and engages the switch mechanism properly.
