Troubleshooting

Comb rail not fitting securely on DIN rail

Ensure the DIN rail is correctly mounted and standard-sized. Check if the comb rail's profile aligns with the DIN rail's groove.

Breakers not making proper contact with the comb rail

Verify that the comb rail is fully seated on the DIN rail. Ensure the comb rail has not been cut unevenly, affecting contact points. Check for any obstructions or damage on the breaker's connection terminal.

Overheating at connection points

This indicates a poor connection or undersized conductor. Ensure the 16mm² cross-section is appropriate for the current load. Tighten all connections securely according to torque specifications. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies complex wiring by consolidating connections.
  • Ensures consistent and reliable electrical interconnections.
  • Durable construction for long-term industrial use.
  • Offers flexibility with its cutable design.
  • Complies with standard electrical panel mounting dimensions.

Cons

  • Requires precise cutting for custom lengths.
  • Limited to 16mm² cross-section, may not suit all high-current applications.
  • Specific compatibility with certain Schneider Electric breaker series (IC60, IID, etc.).
  • Requires careful handling during installation to maintain insulation integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main power is completely disconnected before installation.
  2. Identify the desired length for the comb rail based on the number of modules required. Cut the rail using appropriate tools if necessary, ensuring clean edges.
  3. Slide the comb rail onto the DIN rail in the electrical panel.
  4. Connect the main phase and neutral conductors to the designated terminals on the comb rail.
  5. Attach the circuit breakers to the comb rail, ensuring each breaker's terminal engages securely with the comb bar.

Compatibility:

This comb rail is specifically designed for compatibility with Schneider Electric's Acti9 series, including IC60, IID, ISW-NA, IK60, IID K, and ISW switch disconnectors. Verify compatibility with your specific circuit breaker models before installation.

Care:

Keep the comb rail clean and free from dust and debris. Periodically inspect connections for tightness and signs of corrosion. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning; a dry or slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient.
