DW1-4000 ACB – Installation Instructions & Selection Guide

1. Installation Instructions

  1. DW1-4000 ACB supports fixed and draw-out installation, suitable for standard high-current low-voltage cabinets, and must be installed vertically (verticality error ≤1°).
  2. 3P model is used for heavy industrial power systems; 4P model is suitable for large infrastructure and data centers requiring neutral protection.
  3. Use copper cables up to 300mm², with terminal tightening torque 16–18Nm to ensure reliable connection and avoid overheating.
  4. Keep the working environment free of corrosive gas, conductive dust and strong vibration; install forced ventilation in closed high-temperature spaces.
  5. After installation, perform a manual tripping test to verify normal operation of all protection functions.
  6. Perform regular maintenance every 6 months: clean internal dust, check contact wear and mechanism flexibility.

2. Selection Guide

  • Voltage selection: AC 380V for conventional heavy-duty distribution; AC 660V for special industrial power systems.
  • Pole type selection: 3P for high-power motors, pumps and compressors; 4P for mixed single/three-phase load systems.
  • Tripping selection: Thermal-magnetic tripping for standard distribution; electronic tripping for precision adjustable protection.
  • Installation selection: Fixed type for compact distribution cabinets; draw-out type for large substations requiring convenient maintenance.
  • Function selection: Add undervoltage release for important loads; select communication module for intelligent power monitoring systems.
