Product details
Rated 250 A in category AC-22 at 400 V, the Europa LBC2503PSNME is a three-pole and switched neutral changeover switch in a door-interlocked IP65 metal enclosure. It is the largest of the three sizes on this frame, keeping the same 13 kA making capacity and 7 kA one-second withstand as the smaller units.
Key features
- 250 A rated operational current at 400 V AC-22, with 160 A available in AC-23
- Three poles and a switched neutral transferred as one operation
- Door-interlocked IP65 metal enclosure for switch rooms and plant rooms
- 120 sq mm rigid copper terminals with M10 lug bolts, torqued to 13 Nm
- Rated short-time withstand of 7 kA for one second and 13 kA peak making capacity
Typical applications
At 250 A this changeover is a building or process incomer: large commercial premises, water treatment and pumping, food and cold chain sites, data and comms buildings, and industrial units taking a hired-in or permanent generator. It is also used as a source selector between two network feeds rather than mains and generator.
Compliance
The enclosure carries an IP65 rating, which means it is dust-tight and protected against water projected as a jet from any direction. Europa's datasheet for this metal-enclosed range states that it is not intended for external applications, so for outdoor or wash-down positions specify the GRPC version instead.
