      Operating mechanism and functional interaction of the OF auxiliary contact<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        The physical principle behind mechanical status transfer:<\/b>The operating principle ofOF auxiliary contact<\/b>(Open\/Close) is based on converting the physical movement of the miniature circuit breaker handle (iC60 MCB) into a voltage-free electrical signal (Volt-free contacts). When the user raises the breaker handle to the ON position, the internal parts of theOF auxiliary contact<\/b>unit move mechanically to change the state of its contacts: the normally open (NO) contact closes and the normally closed (NC) contact opens to signal the control systems withinGahzly<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Role of the unit in comprehensive monitoring and control:<\/b>TheOF auxiliary contact<\/b>unit enables engineers to integrate conventional breakers into smart-building systems or SCADA monitoring panels by providing immediate, reliable feedback on the state of each branch or main breaker within the installation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        2. \n

          Connecting signal wires and the control system:<\/b>The auxiliary-contact terminals of theOF auxiliary contact<\/b>unit (NO, NC, and Common) are connected to low-current control-signal wiring, with the terminal screws tightened securely on site throughGahzly<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
