Overview

Enhance your industrial control systems with the WEG AX-UBW800 Auxiliary Contact, a critical component designed for seamless integration with WEG UBW800 frame circuit breakers. This auxiliary switch provides essential signaling capabilities, enabling sophisticated monitoring and control of your electrical infrastructure. It is engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, ensuring that your systems operate efficiently and safely. The WEG AX-UBW800 is a versatile accessory that expands the functionality of your circuit breakers. It typically comprises one Normally Open (N.O.) and one Normally Closed (N.C.) contact, offering flexibility for various control logic and alarm functions. This allows for real-time status feedback to control panels, PLCs, or SCADA systems, facilitating remote monitoring, diagnostics, and automated responses to circuit breaker states. For instance, an N.O. contact can signal that a circuit breaker has tripped, while an N.C. contact can indicate that the breaker is in a closed and ready state. Key features of the WEG AX-UBW800 include its robust construction and adherence to high industrial standards. It is rated for AC-15 usage category with a 400/2 A rating and DC-13 with a 250/0.55 A rating, demonstrating its capability to handle significant control circuit loads. The rated insulation voltage of 690 V and surge test voltage of 6 kV ensure its resilience against electrical transients. With a continuous thermal current of 6 A, it is built to withstand continuous operation. Applications for the AX-UBW800 are widespread across various industrial sectors, including manufacturing plants, power distribution facilities, and process control operations. It is indispensable for applications requiring: * **Remote Status Indication:** Monitor the open or closed status of circuit breakers from a central control room. * **Alarm Generation:** Trigger audible or visual alarms when a circuit breaker trips due to a fault condition. * **Interlocking Circuits:** Implement safety interlocks to prevent unsafe operating sequences. * **System Integration:** Provide feedback signals to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) for automated system management and diagnostics. The AX-UBW800 is designed for easy installation as a factory-installed option on UBW800 frame circuit breakers, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable connection. Its durable design, with a mechanical service life of 6000 switching cycles, guarantees long-term operational integrity. Trust WEG, a globally recognized leader in electrical equipment, to provide reliable and high-performance solutions for your critical industrial applications. The AX-UBW800 auxiliary contact is a testament to WEG's commitment to quality and innovation in circuit protection and control.
