People Electric · Air Circuit Breaker
Product overview
People Electric RDW1 air circuit breakers provide distribution switching and coordinated protection against overload, short circuit, undervoltage and earth faults. Select the frame, pole arrangement and actual circuit voltage together, using the corresponding breaking ratings. Intelligent protection and communication functions depend on the confirmed controller and accessory configuration.
Technical selection summary
| Manufacturer / series | Original People Electric RDW1 |
|---|---|
| Main frequency | 50/60Hz |
| 1000A frame | 200, 400, 630, 800, 1000A; AC400V |
| 2000A frame | 400, 630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000A; AC400V or AC690V |
| 3200A frame | 2000, 2500, 2900, 3200A; AC400V or AC690V |
| 4000A frame | 3200, 3600, 4000A; AC400V |
| 6300A frame | 4000, 5000, 6300A; AC400V |
| AC400V Icu / Ics by frame | 1000A: 42/32kA; 2000A: 80/65kA; 3200A: 100/80kA; 4000A: 80/65kA; 6300A: 120/100kA |
| AC690V Icu / Ics | 2000A frame: 50/50kA; 3200A frame: 65/65kA. Other frames have no AC690V rating in this source. |
| Poles / neutral rating | 3P or documented 4P versions. Neutral: 100% In for 1000/2000/3200A frames; 50% In for the 6300A frame. The source leaves the 4000A neutral rating blank, so this page offers that frame as 3P only. |
| Rated insulation / impulse withstand voltage | Ui 1000V; Uimp 12kV |
| Power-frequency withstand | 2200V for 1 minute, as tabulated |
| Installation | Fixed or draw-out; exact frame/pole drawing and switchboard clearances require confirmation |
| Protection / utilization | IP20; utilization category B; pollution degree 3 |
| Environment | -5 to +40°C; daily average ≤35°C; altitude ≤2,000m |
| Controller / control supply | Exact controller type and auxiliary supplies must be specified and confirmed; the source does not list a complete selectable code/voltage range |
| Standard stated | IEC 60947-2 |
The combined frame/voltage/pole selection prevents unsupported voltage and neutral combinations. Voltage values in this selector are AC main-circuit ratings. A 6300A-frame 4P neutral is rated at 50% In; do not treat it as a 100% neutral. A 4000A-frame 4P version is not offered here until the missing neutral rating is confirmed. Series photographs can show different frames and controller versions.
Typical applications
- Main or feeder protection in AC distribution systems within the documented frame/voltage ratings.
- Industrial distribution equipment requiring selective intelligent protection and confirmed remote-control functions.
