data of the 3WA circuit breaker mechanics and the portfolio have been extended as
compared with 3WL, and the electronic components have been completely redeveloped.
The 3WA circuit breaker is part of the product family of SENTRON protection, switching,
measuring and monitoring devices and covers applications in the rated current range from
630 A to 6300 A.
• AC devices are available as circuit breakers and non-automatic circuit breakers.
• DC devices are only available as non-automatic circuit breakers.
The 3WA circuit breaker has the following characteristics:
• Three sizes:
– Size 1 with a rated current I
n from 630 A to 2500 A
– Size 2 with a rated current I
n from 2000 A to 4000 A
– Size 3 with a rated current I
n from 4000 A to 6300 A
• ETU600 electronic trip unit:
– Functionally expandable with an exchangeable option plug and digital function
packages
– Easy parameterization of the basic protective functions using rotary switches or via
four operating keys and a color display
– User-friendly parameter assignment or documentation of settings with the SENTRON
