APPLICATION AREA
Contactor switches designated as WSN 16 RD/1, design option 10 are electric appliances with two outputs and are designed for power supply with local and remote control of electric self-propelling chain hoisting blocks of EWS-3ne type manufactured by FMiU OMAG. The switches are supplied from three-phase electric networks with rated voltage of 500V, with an insulated neutral point of the supplying transformer and provided with a central leakage protection. Safeguarding measures incorporated into the switch are meant to protect the supplied motors against consequences of shorts, overloads, phase loss, operation with excessively low resistance of line-to-earth insulation as well as discontinuity of earthing line. Contactor switches of WSN 16 RD/1 type, design option 10, are furnished with a relay to monitor status of the motor load, i.e. to restrict hoisting capacity of the hoisting block to the rated limit.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
The device is suitable for working areas of underground operations without the hazard of methane explosion and the ones with the ‘a’ degree of methane explosion hazard as well as with the ‘A’ class of coal dust explosion hazard.
