Auxiliary contacts for DPX 3A-240V 026160

Auxiliary contacts for DPX 3A circuit breakers – expanding functionality

Legrand auxiliary contacts from the DPX 3A series are components that allow you to expand the functionality of circuit breakers, adding the ability to signal the device status or remotely control circuits. Designed to work with DPX-IS 250, DPX-IS 630 and DPX-IS 1600 circuit breakers, they are a reliable solution for both professional installers and end users.

This specific model, with catalog number 026160, is an auxiliary contact designed for signaling. It allows monitoring of the circuit breaker status (signaling) and reaction to the tripping of the device caused by the operation of the overvoltage release or test button (alarm signaling). A changeover contact with parameters of 3 A – 240 V~ ensures compatibility with various control circuits.

Application and compatibility

Auxiliary contact 026160 is used in electrical installations requiring additional information about the circuit status or the possibility of remote control. It is particularly useful in building automation systems, energy monitoring and industrial applications. It is worth paying attention to compatibility with the DPX-IS series of circuit breakers – this guarantees correct operation and installation safety. Installation is simple and intuitive, which translates into time savings during installation and servicing.

Key features and benefits

• Status signaling: Allows you to continuously monitor the status of the circuit breaker, which increases safety and facilitates diagnosis of any problems.
• Alarm signaling: Informs about the incorrect operation of the circuit breaker, e.g. after the overvoltage protection has operated, allowing for a quick response and minimizing the risk of failure.
• Versatility: Compatible with popular Legrand DPX-IS circuit breaker series (250, 630, 1600).
• Reliability: Made of high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Easy installation: Simple construction facilitates installation and servicing.
• Rated parameters: A changeover contact of 3 A – 240 V~ provides a wide range of applications.

Let's remember that auxiliary contacts are not a self-sufficient element – they require cooperation with an appropriate circuit breaker from the DPX-IS series. The selection of the appropriate model of auxiliary contacts should be dictated by the specifics of the application and the requirements for signaling or circuit control.
