3.2 Anslutningar

Proper wiring is essential for safety and performance. The circuit breaker is a 2-pole device designed to protect both positive and negative lines in a DC system.

  • Applicable Wire Diameter: The terminals are designed to accommodate wires up to 95mm² (000AWG).
  • Terminalmått: The conductive parts have a thickness of 5mm, and the terminal height is 85mm.
  • Polaritet: For DC 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 96V, 120V, and 240V applications, the circuit breaker supports 'No Polarity' connection, simplifying installation.

4. Bruksanvisning

The circuit breaker provides thermal magnetic trip functionality for circuit overload and short circuit protection.

4.1 Slå på/av

The circuit breaker has a clear ON/OFF handle for manual operation.

  • För att stänga av: Tryck på handtaget NER till läget 'AV'.
  • För att slå PÅ: Tryck på handtaget UP till läget 'PÅ'.

Notera: If the handle is in the 'Trip OFF' state (between ON and OFF), it cannot be directly pushed UP to ON. First, perform a handle DOWN action (to fully OFF), then push the handle UP to ON to reset and engage the circuit.

4.2 Trip Function

The circuit breaker is equipped with a red 'TEST' button to manually trip the breaker for testing purposes or to isolate the circuit.

  • To Trip: Tryck på RÖD button. This will move the handle to the 'Trip OFF' state, indicating no electricity flow.

4.3 Skyddsfunktioner

  • Thermal Magnetic Trip: Protects against sustained overcurrents (thermal) and sudden high currents (magnetic).
  • Circuit Overload Protection: Automatically trips when current exceeds the rated 200A for a prolonged period.
  • Circuit Short Circuit Protection: Instantly trips upon detection of a short circuit. Note that for voltages between 12V-30V, short circuit protection is not active; it is active for 32V-400V.
  • Isolation Circuit: Provides a safe means to disconnect power for maintenance or safety.

5. Underhåll

To ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your DIHOOL DHM1B-2P-200A circuit breaker, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

  • Regelbunden inspektion: Kontrollera regelbundet strömbrytaren för tecken på fysisk skada, missfärgning eller lösa anslutningar.
  • Rengöring: Keep the circuit breaker free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Terminalkontroll: Ensure all terminal connections are tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to overheating and potential hazards.
  • Testfunktion: Periodically use the red 'TEST' button to verify the tripping mechanism is functional.

Always disconnect power to the circuit before performing any inspection or maintenance.

6. Felsökning

If you encounter issues with your DIHOOL DHM1B-2P-200A circuit breaker, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Ofta brytningsresor:
    • Check for overloads: Ensure the connected load does not exceed the 200A rated current.
    • Check for short circuits: Inspect wiring for any signs of damage or short circuits.
    • Verifiera voltage: Ensure the operating voltage is within the DC 12-400V range.
  • Breaker Does Not Trip:
    • Manually test the trip function using the red 'TEST' button. If it does not trip, the unit may be faulty.
    • Ensure the current is sufficient to cause a trip for the detected fault (e.g., short circuit protection is not active below 32V).
  • Breaker Does Not Stay ON:
    • If the handle is in the 'Trip OFF' state, push it fully DOWN to OFF before attempting to push it UP to ON.
    • If the breaker immediately trips after being switched ON, a persistent overload or short circuit is present.

If problems persist after performing these checks, consult a qualified electrician or contact DIHOOL customer support.
