Operating Accessories

XF, MX, and MN Voltage Releases

XF, MX, and MN voltage releases are optional accessories mounted inside the device. They can be of standard type or diagnostic and communicating type (standard or with diagnostic function for MN undervoltage release).

The standard voltage releases are designed to receive either pulse-type or maintained voltage operating orders.

XF Closing Voltage Release (Standard or With Diagnostic and Communicating Function)

The XF closing voltage release closes the circuit breaker instantaneously when powered if the spring mechanism is charged. The minimum duration of the pulse operating order must be 200 ms.

For information on installation, consult the instruction sheet on the Schneider Electric website:

oXF standard closing voltage release: NVE40749

oXF communicating closing voltage release: NVE40766

MX Opening Voltage Release (Standard or With Diagnostic and Communicating Function)

The MX opening voltage release opens the circuit breaker instantaneously when powered. The minimum duration of the pulse operating order must be 200 ms. The MX standard opening voltage release locks the circuit breaker in OFF position if the command is maintained.

For information on installation, consult the instruction sheet on the Schneider Electric website:

oMX standard opening voltage release: NVE40749

oMX communicating opening voltage release: NVE40766

MN Undervoltage Release (Standard or With Diagnostic Function)

The MN undervoltage release instantaneously opens the circuit breaker when its supply voltage drops to a value between 35% and 70% of its rated voltage. If there is no supply to the release, it is impossible to close the circuit breaker, either manually or electrically. Any attempt to close the circuit breaker has no effect on the main contacts. Circuit breaker closing is enabled again when the supply voltage of the release returns to 85% of its rated value.

For information on installation, consult the instruction sheet on the Schneider Electric website: NVE40748.

BPFE Electrical Closing Pushbutton

This is an optional accessory that is mounted on the front cover of the device.

The BPFE electrical closing pushbutton carries out electrical closing of the circuit breaker. It takes into account the internal closing conditions of the device and the external conditions that are part of the control and monitoring system of the installation. It connects to the XF standard or communicating closing voltage release.

If BPFE is being used, it is recommended to lock access to the closing pushbutton using the VBP accessory because the closing pushbutton does not take into account internal and external conditions.

PF Ready-to-close Contact

This is an optional accessory that is mounted inside the device.

The PF ready-to-close contact delivers remotely, the indication delivered locally by the ready-to-close indicator.

It consists of a changeover contact indicating remotely that the circuit breaker is ready to close, that is:

oThe circuit breaker is in the open position.

oThe spring mechanism is charged.

oThere is no maintained opening order.

RES Electrical Remote Reset

This is an optional accessory that is mounted inside the device.

Following tripping, this function resets the SDE fault-trip indication contact, and the mechanical indicator and enables circuit breaker closing.

The use of an XF closing release is compulsory with this option.

The RES electrical remote reset is not compatible with the SDE2 additional fault-trip indication contact because they are installed in the same physical place.
