Confirm the selected model and installation environment. Projects outside these service conditions require an agreed specification.

Mounting and control options.

Normal and inverted mounting are available. Match the earthing arrangement, cabinet dimensions, operating side and control wiring to the approved order drawings.

Normal and inverted installation

Arrangement Mechanical and primary fit Control and interlocks
Normal installation Side-operated. Confirm the mounting points, cable entry, primary clearances and operating side against the cabinet layout. When an earthing switch is selected, its side must not be the incoming-line side. Confirm the mechanical and electrical interlocks for the order.
Inverted installation Select inverted installation for bottom cable entry when an earthing switch is fitted. Check mounting points and clearances against the approved layout. Keep the earthing-switch side away from the incoming line. Confirm the selected operating side and interlock arrangement.

For a 900 mm cabinet depth, the standard interface dimensions are 175 mm from the panel to the mounting hole and 495 mm from the panel to the B-phase centre. Confirm these dimensions on the approved order drawing; other dimensions must be specified.

Model and operating side

Load-switch codes: FZN25-12/630-20 or FZN25-12D/630-20. The D version includes an earthing switch. The detailed ratings on this page apply to FZN25-12D/630-20; confirm the ratings separately for a non-D order.

Operating side: specify left- or right-hand side operation.

Product type: FZRN25 is a separate switch-fuse combination with different ratings.

Mechanism and control supply

Mechanism: manual, motor-operated, or manual closing with electric tripping. The manual version has no auxiliary contacts or wiring; manual closing with electric tripping accepts AC or DC control power.

Supply: specify 110 V or 220 V AC or DC. The standard supply is AC 220 V; AC and DC motor versions are not interchangeable.

Closing circuit: specify whether closing self-hold is required. The standard circuit has no relay self-hold function.

Other options: specify a voltage sensor, electromagnetic lock, back-to-back interlock, live-voltage indicator or program lock. The voltage sensor is omitted as standard.

Auxiliary-contact and earthing-switch defaults

Mechanism Auxiliary contacts available Connected to terminal block Earthing microswitch
Manual closing with electric tripping 2 NO + 3 NC 2 NO + 2 NC None
Motor-operated 4 NO + 3 NC 2 NO + 1 NC 2 NO; not connected to the terminal block

NO = normally open; NC = normally closed. Confirm the required contact count, terminal allocation and earthing microswitch wiring on the final terminal schedule.

FZN25 dimensions and wiring.

Compare the front outline and motor-control functions with your cabinet layout. Confirm final mounting dimensions, control supply and terminal allocation on the approved order drawings.

FZN25 selection questions.

Answers to common questions about earthing, protection, controls and installation.

01Does FZN25 include an earthing switch?

The FZN25-12D version includes an earthing switch. Specify the D or non-D arrangement when ordering. The detailed ratings on this page apply to FZN25-12D/630-20; confirm ratings separately for a non-D assembly. See the configuration options.

02Is 20 kA a short-circuit breaking rating?

No. For FZN25-12D/630-20, 20 kA is the short-time withstand rating. No short-circuit breaking rating is specified here. Confirm short-circuit protection for the selected assembly; FZRN25 switch-fuse combination ratings are separate. See the complete ratings.

03Can AC and DC motor versions be interchanged?

No. Specify 110 V or 220 V AC or DC for the motor-operated version; the standard supply is AC 220 V. Manual closing with electric tripping accepts AC or DC control power. Confirm the selected supply and final circuit in the control requirements.

04Can I install directly from these drawings?

Use them as references for the illustrated family arrangement. Final dimensions, mechanism thickness, earthing position, cabinet fit and terminal allocation must follow the approved order drawings. See the outline and circuit references.

05What should I specify in an order?

Confirm the model, quantity, earthing option, mounting arrangement, cable entry, operating side, mechanism, control supply, auxiliary contacts and interlocks. Complete the selection form with these requirements.
