Presentation
Reducing the installation time of components is an important factor that also
1 increases productivity.
The comprehensive range of adaptors and mounting accessories allows this
objective to be achieved.
There are numerous advantages:
b saving of space in enclosures,
b reduced size of enclosures,
b reduced wiring time,
2 b increased protection of personnel against accidental direct contact (IP 20) through
the use of insulated mounting rails,
b ÀH[LELOLW\DQGPRGXODULW\RIHTXLSPHQW
b reliable operation of the equipment with easier maintenance.

Description
Power distribution is achieved by a 3-pole or 5-pole busbar system.
3 LA9 Z32199
The adaptors clip directly onto the busbar system, providing instantaneous electrical
connection. Busbar system pitch: 40 or 60 mm.
These adaptors allow mounting of motor starter components such as:
b GV2 ME, GV2 P or GV3 ME motor circuit-breakers,
b TeSys D and TeSys K contactors up to 38 A,
b integral 63 contactor breakers,
They are available in different sizes to allow easy installation of varying component
4 combinations.
These adaptors can be used in conjunction with interface modules communicating
with an AS-Interface cabling system. This enables motor starters to be set up on an
AS-Interface cabling system, bringing all the advantages of the 2 technologies.
