Product Range and Equipment: The catalog details the product range, including single-pole and two-pole designs for different voltage levels, and basic and alternative equipment options like operating mechanisms, releases, and auxiliary switches.
Technical Data: Detailed technical data includes electrical specifications, dimensions, and circuit diagrams, with guidelines for selecting the appropriate circuit-breaker based on voltage levels and application requirements.
Order Number Structure: The order number for the 3AH47 vacuum circuit-breakers is a 16-digit code covering primary and secondary parts, with special versions indicated by a "-Z" suffix.
Secondary Equipment Selection: The document outlines the selection process for secondary equipment, including operating voltages for components like the closing solenoid and shunt releases, with specific order codes for each configuration.
Configuration Examples: Configuration examples assist in selecting the correct order number for the desired circuit-breaker type, demonstrating how to configure both primary and secondary parts.
Additional Equipment and Accessories: Additional equipment, accessories, and spare parts are available, along with a rating plate and accessories catalog.
Installation and Retrofitting: Instructions for retrofitting releases and solenoids emphasize the need for correct order numbers and trained personnel for replacements.
Procedures: Instructions for configuring the 3AH47 traction circuit-breaker are outlined step-by-step, involving defining primary and secondary equipment features and selecting appropriate release combinations and operating voltages.
Recommendations: Recommendations include specifying the number of poles, type of closing mechanism, and auxiliary contacts, with advice to use the online configuration tool for ease and accuracy.
Key Data from Tables: Tables provide essential data on power consumption and tripping voltage ranges for various releases, including closing solenoids and shunt releases, and list rated voltage and current values for different configurations.
Additional Information: An inquiry form is included for customers to request offers or further assistance from Siemens, along with contact information for Siemens' Customer Support Center.

Description Construction and mode of operation, standards Releases A release is a device which transfers electrical commands from an external source, such as a control room, to the l tching mechanism of the vacuum circuit-breaker so that a it can be opened or closed. How many releases are used and how they are combined is defined when the secondary equipment is selected. Circuit-breaker tripping signal The NO contact makes brief contact while the vacuum c ircuit-breaker is opening, and this is often used to operate a hazard-warning system which, however, is only allowed to respond to automatic...
