Specifications:
The document outlines the specifications for a remote control contact used in surge protective devices for low-voltage power systems. It details the range of signal access and recommended wire specifications for both AC and DC systems. For AC, the maximum voltage is 250V with a current of 0.5A, using single-core wire up to 1.5mm. For DC, the maximum voltage is 60V with a current of 0.1A, using multi-core wire up to 1.3mm. If the model number lacks an 'S', it does not include the remote control contact function.
Components and Features:
The device consists of a base part and pluggable protection modules (MOV + GDT). It is designed for use in lightning protection zones at boundary 1-2. The core components are metal oxide varistor components with high discharge capacity, offering low residual voltage and quick response. It includes a reliable control mechanism with a Thermo Dynamic Control disconnector and a remote signaling contact for control devices. Fault indication is provided via a red mark in the inspection window. The protection mode covers L1, L2, L3-N, N-PE.
Model Variants:
The document lists several model numbers: FV20C/3+NPE-150(S), FV20C/3+NPE-275(S), FV20C/3+NPE-320(S), FV20C/3+NPE-385(S), and FV20C/3+NPE-440(S). Each model has different nominal and rated voltages, with a maximum discharge current of 40kA and a nominal discharge current of 20kA. The voltage protective level varies across models, with response times of ≤25ns for L-N and ≤100ns for N-PE.
Installation and Operation:
Recommended back-up fuse is 125A, with isolation resistance greater than 10 MΩ. I/O connections use multi-core wire ranging from 4mm to 25mm. The device mounts on a 35mm symmetrical rail (EN50022/DIN46277-3). It operates within a temperature range of -40℃ to +80℃, humidity of 30% to 90%, and altitude up to 3000m. The degree of protection is IP20, with housing material rated UL94 V-0. A mechanical indicator shows the disconnection status (Green: OK, Red: replace). Remote control contact is optional.
