Emax E1.2 circuit-breakers | 6 - Installation
Connection to the power circuit
The connection of a circuit-breaker to the power circuit is performed using the connection busbars of the
electric switchgear fixed to the terminals of the circuit-breaker. The sizing of the busbars is specified by the
designer of the electrical switchgear.

IMPORTANT: it is possible to obtain different capacities for the connections by altering
the thickness and number of busbars in parallel.
The following tables provide some examples of the quantity and the sizes of the connections that can be used
for each type of circuit-breaker:
