The connector units produced by Rauscher & Stoecklin are adapted versions of the wall-mountable female connectors with additional electrical and/or mechanical switching and protection components. Connector units are available with the following properties.
The CUMI is fitted with a mechanical interlocking system with a dual purpose. Firstly, this system ensures that the outlet (female connector) is always de-energised when no plug (male connector) is connected. Secondly, this system ensures that the plug is locked in place (male connector) which prohibits disconnection from the load during operation. The interlock system ensures maximum safety for the operator and the equipment.
The CUBC is optimal for operation with pilot contacts. During connection, the electric lock is released only by the pilot contacts when the current-carrying elements are in full contact and switching is allowed. During disconnection the pilot contacts opens first and prevents the forming of an arc between the current-carrying main elements.
The CUCB is fitted with a circuit breaker and circuit breaker protection. Overload and short circuit conditions are detected and the current path is interrupted. Injuries and equipment damage is hereby prevented. Additional customer specific components are available on request.
