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: before proceeding with the connection between terminals and connection
busbars:
• Make sure that the contact surfaces of the busbars are free of burrs, dents, traces of
rusting, dust or traces of grease.
• Make sure, if aluminium busbars are used, than they are tin plated in the contact areas.
• Make sure that the busbars do not exert forces in any direction on the terminal.
• Tightening: for E1.2 use M10 screws with resistance class 8.8 equipped with spring
washers and lock them with a torque of 45 Nm - 398.3 lb in
• Tightening: for E2.2-E4.2-E6.2 use M12 screws with resistance class 8.8 equipped with
spring washers and lock them with a torque of 70 Nm - 619.5 lb in
IMPORTANT: it is possible to obtain different capacities for the connections by altering
the thickness and number of busbars in parallel.
NOTE: the information on the performances of the circuit-breakers in switchboards is available
on the website:
