With the new EQUES adapter series for CrossBoard 800 A, the interface for motor starter applications is being redefined. Thanks to the enhanced conductor assembly, which withstands significantly higher temperatures, the newly tool-free adjustable DIN rail, and the forward-looking design, we are taking adapter technology for direct and reversing starter combinations to the next level.
With the extended connection cable, specifically designed for switching devices with spring clamp terminals, the new adapter generation delivers maximum flexibility in application. All variants can be used internationally thanks to IEC, CCC, and UL certification.
The new adapter generation is fully compatible with our existing adapters, i.e. mixed installation of old and new adapters is also possible.
The new cable assembly with increased temperature resistance, the halogen-free insulation material and the overall improved short-circuit withstand set new standards in adapter technology.
Additional flexibility and speed in mounting the switching devices is provided by the new tool-free adjustable mounting rail.
The new slim design is closely linked to the optimized use of materials. Thanks to the reduced use of resources, the new adapter generation also scores in terms of sustainability.
The new generation of EQUES adapters up to 32 A rated current is optimally tailored to the adaptation of motor-protective circuit-breakers, direct-on-line and reversing starter combinations. The adapter variants with integrated spring-loaded technology also enable the user to use a customer-specific cable or to implement two-phase outgoing feeders, such as power supply units.
The new generation is also intuitive and easy to mount. Thanks to the proven latching element of the EQUES adapters, which has also been optimized in with the new design, simple and fast snap-on without tools is guaranteed for busbars with a thickness of 5mm and 10mm. For the disassembly of the adapters, a tool is required as usual to release the latching element.
The highlight is the new type of mounting rail, which can be moved up and down by simply actuating the wings. At the same time, the mounting rail is mechanically secured against slipping in both directions for a guaranteed tight fit of the switching devices.
