Chint Combined Switch NH5-20/4M04

Chint Combined Switch NH5-20/4M04 is a switching device suitable for low-voltage power distribution and motor control scenarios.
I. Core Parameters and Structure
1. 모델 의미
NH5: Chint isolation switch series, supporting high short-circuit breaking capacity and reliable isolation function.
20: Rated current of 20A, suitable for small and medium-sized load circuits.
4M04:
4P: 4-pole structure, capable of breaking three-phase live wires (L1, L2, L3) and neutral wire (N) 동시에. It is applicable to three-phase four-wire systems and provides comprehensive circuit isolation and protection.
M04: Tripping type code, presumably a thermal-magnetic release, which has both overload long-time delay protection (thermal element) and short-circuit instantaneous protection (electromagnetic element). It can realize two-stage protection without an external thermal relay.
2. 전기적 성능
Rated Voltage: AC 400V (complying with NH5 series standards).
Breaking Capacity: With reference to the characteristics of the NH5 series, the short-circuit breaking capacity is presumably 12Ie/1s (i.e., 240A short-time withstand current), which can handle sudden short-circuit faults.
절연 기능: Complying with GB/T 14048.3 standard, it is equipped with clearly visible breaking contacts to ensure maintenance safety.
II. 응용 시나리오
1. 배전 시스템
– Serving as the main switch of the terminal distribution box, it breaks the three-phase four-wire power supply and protects the lower-level circuits from overload and short-circuit damage.
– Suitable for power distribution systems of industrial equipment, commercial buildings, and residences, such as Motor Control Centers (MCC) and lighting distribution boxes.
2. 모터 제어
– Directly controlling three-phase asynchronous motors with power ≤5.5kW (calculated based on the 20A rated current) to realize start-stop, commutation, and overload protection.
– When combined with contactors and thermal relays, it can form a complete motor control circuit to meet the needs of frequent operations.
3. Special Requirements
– The 4-pole design supports neutral wire protection, making it suitable for scenarios with three-phase unbalanced loads or harmonic interference (such as data centers and frequency conversion equipment) to prevent potential safety hazards caused by excessive neutral wire current.
III. Installation and Wiring
1. 설치 방법
– Standard 35mm guide rail installation, compatible with DIN EN 60715 standard, saving space and facilitating maintenance.
2. 배선 요구 사항
Incoming Terminal: Connect to three-phase power supply (L1, L2, L3) and neutral wire (N).
Outgoing Terminal: Connect to loads (such as motors and lighting equipment).
– Ensure firm wiring to avoid heating or poor contact caused by loose connections.
IV. Certification and Reliability
1. Certification Standards
– Complying with GB/T 14048.3 (Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear) 그리고 IEC 60947-3 international standards, and has passed CCC certification to ensure product quality and safety.
2. 환경 적응성
– Operating temperature range: -5℃ ~ +40℃, adaptable to most industrial and civil environments.
– Protection class: IP20 (preventing the intrusion of solid foreign objects larger than 12mm), and it needs to be used with a distribution box to improve protection performance.
다섯. Model Selection and Alternative Solutions
1. Comparison with Similar Products
Chint HZ5 Series: Both are combined switches, but the NH5 series has higher breaking capacity and is suitable for scenarios with stricter requirements for short-circuit protection.
Schneider NSX Series: If higher breaking capacity (예를 들어, above 50kA) or intelligent tripping function (electronic release) 필수, upgrading to Schneider products can be considered, but the cost will increase significantly.
2. Recommendations for Alternative Models
– If a higher rated current (예를 들어, 63에이) is needed, NH5-63/4M04 can be selected; if a smaller current (예를 들어, 10에이) is needed, NH5-10/4M04 can be selected.
– For motor control, it can be matched with Chint CJX2 series contactors and JR36 series thermal relays to achieve more accurate protection.
VI. 지침
1. 부하 매칭
– Ensure that the load current does not exceed 20A. Especially when the motor starts, the instantaneous inrush current (대개 5-7 정격 전류의 배) should be considered to avoid false tripping.
2. 유지보수 및 검사
– Regularly check the wear of contacts. If ablation or poor contact is found, the switch should be replaced in a timely manner.
– The operating characteristics of the thermal-magnetic release are affected by the ambient temperature; long-term use in high-temperature environments should be avoided.
3. 설치사양
– Conduct wiring in strict accordance with the instruction manual to avoid reverse connection of live wires and neutral wires or short circuits.
– The neutral terminal of the 4-pole switch must be reliably connected and must not be left floating.
