To control the operation of any device that uses electricity, a certain amount of accompanying various devices, such as automation, relays, counters, switches, etc., is required. In the recent past, their placement and fastening in electrical cabinets was done with the help of bolts and nuts, which was a laborious and dangerous business. In addition, the cabinets assembled in this way were bulky and required more time to assemble.
The advent of the DIN-rail greatly changed the method of installing electrical equipment and greatly increased the speed of installing electrical equipment in cabinets. Such minimalism became possible thanks to the widespread introduction of modular devices. In other words, you can easily assemble any combinations from them like in a children's constructor.
To fasten these devices, German engineers invented a DIN-rail, which is a profile bent from an iron or aluminum sheet, in its cross-section resembling the Greek letter omega Ω or the English G and C. This invention was so liked by manufacturers of electrical equipment, that it is approved as an "International Electrotechnical Commission" standard.
The process of attaching a modular device to a DIN rail is extremely simple. On the back of the ego there are two grooves, one of which is equipped with a latch. To install a modular circuit breaker on a DIN rail, you need to click the latch. To remove the autoswitch (or any other modular device), unclip the latch in the lowest position with a screwdriver, then remove the autoswitch from the DIN rail.
There are three standardized standard sizes of the Ω-profile busbar (WxH) — 35x15 mm (for large-sized devices), 35x7.5 mm (for standard), 35x5 mm (for small-sized devices). The length of all rails is selected by a simple cut of the required piece, on the rail itself there are holes for the mounting surface.
The G-type DIN rail has inwardly bent edges, one of which is smaller than the other. The width of the rail is 32 mm, one edge is 15 mm, the second is 9 mm. Used for specific equipment.
The C-profile of the rail is characterized by inwardly curved ends, which makes it similar to the letter C. Hardware brackets, terminals, etc. are installed on such rails. The dimensions of the rail are 15 mm high and 32 mm wide.
The offered assortment includes types Ω-omega and G, as well as a novelty in our sales - a tool for cutting DIN rails to measured lengths e.tool.current.din is designed for convenient and fast work with DIN rails Ω-omega.
