Product Information

Full details

This Schneider Electric Compact NSX undervoltage coil (MPN: LV429407) is designed for use with load switches and power circuit breakers, providing protection by tripping the circuit when voltage drops below a safe level. Its primary benefit is enhancing electrical system safety by preventing damage from undervoltage conditions. A key consideration is its specific compatibility with load switches and power circuit breakers, not being suitable for motor safety switches or overload relays.

FAQs

What is the purpose of an undervoltage coil?

An undervoltage coil is a safety device that trips a circuit breaker or load switch when the supply voltage drops to a predefined low level. This prevents damage to connected equipment that could occur if they operate under insufficient voltage.

What voltage does this undervoltage coil operate on?

This specific model (LV429407) operates on a rated control voltage of 220-240V AC at both 50Hz and 60Hz.

Can I use this coil with any circuit breaker?

No, this undervoltage coil is specifically designed for use with Schneider Electric Compact NSX series load switches and power circuit breakers. It is not intended for motor safety switches or overload relays.

How is the undervoltage coil connected?

It connects via screw terminals to the designated points on the compatible Compact NSX device, requiring a 220-240V AC control voltage supply.

What happens if the control voltage is applied but is too low?

If the control voltage is below the operational threshold required for the coil to remain energized, it will act as if the voltage has dropped, causing it to trip the associated breaker or switch. It requires the rated voltage (220-240V AC) to hold the circuit closed.

Does this coil have a manual reset function?

The undervoltage coil itself does not have a manual reset. Resetting the associated circuit breaker or load switch after it has tripped is typically required to restore power.

What is the weight of this product?

The product weighs approximately 0.2645547144 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Undervoltage coil does not trip the breaker

Verify that the control voltage supplied to the coil is within the specified range (220-240V AC). Ensure the wiring connections are secure and correctly made. Confirm that the coil is compatible with the specific breaker/switch model and that it is not damaged. Test the coil's functionality directly if possible.

Breaker trips unexpectedly without voltage drop

Check for loose wiring connections to the coil or the breaker. Ensure the control voltage is stable and not experiencing transient surges. Inspect the associated breaker or load switch for internal faults. Verify that the coil is not incorrectly wired or shorted.

Coil is not receiving control voltage

Trace the control voltage wiring from the source to the coil. Check fuses or circuit breakers in the control voltage supply circuit. Ensure the source of the control voltage is active and providing the correct voltage (220-240V AC).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances electrical safety by automatically tripping circuits during undervoltage events.
  • Designed for reliable operation across standard AC frequencies (50Hz and 60Hz).
  • Easy and secure installation with screw terminal connections.
  • Integrates seamlessly with Schneider Electric's Compact NSX series equipment.
  • Protects specific types of electrical components like load switches and power circuit breakers.

Cons

  • Not compatible with motor safety switches or overload relays.
  • Requires a specific AC control voltage (220-240V).
  • Primarily designed for specific switch and breaker types, limiting broader application.
  • Installation requires basic electrical knowledge and adherence to safety protocols.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power to the circuit is completely de-energized.
  2. Identify the designated terminals on the Compact NSX power circuit breaker or load switch for the undervoltage coil.
  3. Connect the control voltage wires (220-240V AC) to the screw terminals of the undervoltage coil, ensuring correct polarity if applicable and a secure connection.
  4. Mount the undervoltage coil according to the instructions provided with the specific Compact NSX device it is being attached to.
  5. Re-energize the circuit and test the undervoltage function by simulating a voltage drop (if safe to do so) or by verifying its presence in the system's operational logic.

Compatibility:

  • This undervoltage coil is compatible with Schneider Electric Compact NSX series load switches and power circuit breakers.
  • It is not suitable for use with motor safety switches or overload relays.
  • Requires a control voltage of 220-240V AC at 50Hz or 60Hz.

Care:

  • The undervoltage coil is a sealed unit and generally requires no user maintenance.
  • Keep the area around the coil and its associated breaker/switch clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Periodically inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
  • Regularly test the function of the undervoltage release as part of your electrical system's maintenance schedule.
