FAQs

What is the rated control circuit voltage for this auxiliary switch?

The rated control circuit voltage is 230V AC.

What is the maximum operational voltage this unit can handle?

The unit can handle an operational voltage of up to 440V AC.

How many make and break contacts does the Eaton Z SCH 248857 have?

It features 2 make contacts and 2 break contacts.

What standards does this auxiliary switch conform to?

It conforms to IEC 61095, EN 61095, VDE 0660, IEC 60947-4-1_x, EN 60947-4-1, and VDE standards.

What is the mounting width and front dimension?

It has a mounting width of 3 SU (52.5mm) and a standard front dimension of 45 mm.

Can this unit be used in DC circuits?

No, this unit is designed specifically for AC voltage types for both operational and energizing phases.

What is the nominal operational current rating?

The nominal operational current is 63A.

Troubleshooting

Auxiliary switch does not energize.

Verify that the control circuit voltage is within the specified 195.5 - 253V AC range. Check all wiring connections for security and correctness. Ensure the main power supply to the control circuit is active.

Contacts are not switching states (make contacts stuck open, break contacts stuck closed).

Inspect the auxiliary switch for any mechanical obstructions. Ensure the energizing voltage is sufficient to operate the internal mechanism. If the issue persists, the auxiliary switch may be faulty and require replacement.

Overheating or unusual noise during operation.

Immediately de-energize the circuit. Verify that the operational current does not exceed the 63A nominal limit. Check that the operational voltage is within the 440V AC range. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit. If the problem persists, discontinue use and contact a qualified technician.

Unit fails to meet standards or causes system malfunctions.

Double-check all wiring against the product documentation and relevant standards (IEC 61095, EN 61095, VDE 0660). Ensure the auxiliary switch is correctly rated for the application's voltage and current requirements. Consult with a system engineer or electrician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile contact arrangement (2 make, 2 break) for complex switching needs.
  • Robust build designed for industrial environments.
  • Easy mounting on standard top-hat rails.
  • Complies with multiple international electrical standards.
  • Suitable for high operational voltages up to 440V.

Cons

  • Requires specific AC voltage for energizing and operation.
  • Front dimension of 45mm may require specific panel space.
  • Primarily for industrial use; may be overkill for simple residential applications.
  • Limited to 63A nominal current, not suitable for very high power loads.
  • Installation requires knowledge of industrial electrical wiring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Eaton Z SCH installation auxiliary switch is designed for mounting on a standard top-hat rail (35mm DIN rail) within an industrial control panel. Ensure the control circuit voltage matches the rated control circuit voltage of 230V AC and the operational voltage is within the 440V AC range. Connect the energizing circuit within the specified 195.5 - 253V AC range. Wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician, adhering to all local and international electrical codes.

Compatibility: This unit is compatible with electrical systems designed for AC voltage and rated control circuit voltages of 230V AC. It is designed to work within industrial electrical infrastructure and control panels. Ensure that the load current does not exceed the nominal operational current of 63A.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect the auxiliary switch for any signs of physical damage or loose connections. Keep the surrounding area clean and free from excessive dust or debris. Periodic functional testing, as per your system's maintenance schedule, is recommended. No specific lubrication or complex maintenance is typically required beyond visual inspection and ensuring secure electrical connections.
