Product Specification of NDM2L-250

Product Name:Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Product Model:NDM2L-250
1. Applicable Scope and Purpose of Circuit Breaker
The NDM2L-250 molded case circuit breaker with the residual current protection (hereinafter
referred to as circuit breaker) applies to infrequent switching of circuits with the AC 50/60Hz,
the working voltage of AC415V and the working current up to 250A. With the overload, short
circuit and under-voltage protection functions, the circuit breaker can protect lines and power
equipment from damage. Meanwhile, they can deal with the personal safety, fire hazards and
other potential risks caused due to long-term ground faults that can't be detected with the
overcurrent protection function.
The circuit breaker has an isolating function with the corresponding symbol of ;
Comply with standards: IEC60947-2, GB/T 14048.2.
Products comply with CCC、CE、TUV and CB certification.

8.1 Under-voltage release
When the power voltage drops to the range (35%~70%) of the under-voltage release,the release can
break the circuit breaker reliably; when the power voltage is 35% lower than the rated working
voltage of the under-voltage release, the release can prevent closing of the circuit breaker; when the
power voltage is 85% higher than the rated working voltage of the under-voltage release, the release
can guarantee reliable closing of the circuit breaker.

Note：The under-voltage release must be energized before the circuit breaker can be switched on
and closed again, otherwise the circuit breaker will be damaged。

8.2 Shunt release

When the external voltage of the shunt release is between 70% and 110% of the rated
control power voltage, the release can break the circuit breaker reliably.

12. Circuit Breaker Notes

1) Various characteristics and accessories of the circuit breaker are set in the factory. The circuit
breaker, tripping unit or other accessories can only be adjusted, installed and maintained by
the trained or qualified professionals according to the parameter requirements of the line
design;
2) Ensure that the power supply is off before installing or removing any device;
3) The circuit breaker handle can be located in three positions, indicating three states: on, off
and free tripping. When the handle is in the free tripping position, pull the handle in the off
direction when the circuit breaker is connected and on.
