SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

Schneider Electric at Latrand covers both visible room switches and sockets and equipment for distribution boards and control. For an exact choice, start with the task: finishing an interior point, electrical protection, motor control or automation.

Switches and sockets by series

The switches, sockets and frames include Merten System Design, Sedna and Asfora. Distinguish the mechanism, faceplate and decorative frame before comparing colour and design. When adding to an existing installation, record the exact series and product code; a shared brand does not prove that parts from different series form a suitable kit.

Different functions of protective equipment

The low-voltage equipment range includes Acti9 circuit breakers, residual current devices and TeSys contactors and protection devices. The RCCB and RCBO designations describe different functions. RCCB is residual current protection without built-in overload and short-circuit protection. RCBO combines residual current protection with overcurrent protection. Coordination of the individual protective devices remains part of the specific project solution.

In Acti9 iC60N, thermal tripping is for overload and magnetic tripping is for short circuits. The number of poles, rated current and breaking capacity are separate characteristics. Curves B, C and D distinguish magnetic tripping variants; they are not a quality ranking. Their selection requires consideration of the load, starting current and design.

From the housing to the controls

In electrical distribution boards , look for the enclosure as a separate element from the devices inside. One device's degree of protection does not automatically determine protection of the entire assembled board. Exact enclosures, accessories and components must be coordinated for the specific version.

ATV variable frequency drives, time relays, push buttons and switches are also presented. When the task involves monitoring conditions or temperature control, continue to sensors and thermostats. For equipment around the work area, there is a separate workstations and installation materials section.

Prepare a list by function and exact reference instead of collecting products by appearance alone. This allows interior elements, protective devices and controls to be compared within their own product group and against project requirements.
