Hi all
I am new to this forum and hope this is right placed and of interest. I would like to make a setup with one or more impulse relays, controlled with one pushbuttom. It should make it possible to switch off 3 circuit breakers in the house cabinet, all on different phases.
Schneider makes one impulse relay with 4 no contacts in one body for 16 amps. Each circuit breaker in my house is a 10 amp, so 3 x 10 amp.
It is also possible instead of one 4 pole relay, to control 3 separate relays with 1 or 2 poles each, from one pushbutton - but then 2 of them will be controlled by a phase that is not the one running thru them.
I am in doubt about several things.
1 Should I break the neutral too?
2 If the relay is rated for 16 amp, is it 16 amp on each pole?
3 Is it preferrable to use the one body solution with 4 poles, over 3 separate relays - which if unlucky can get out of sync - if one of them misses a step?
Additional info: It is a small home. The 3 circuit breakers in my home controls lighting and outlets only. There are no heavy maschinery or large motors. There are 16 amp circuit breaker for the oven, but is not included in this setup, also refrigirator and other minor survailance equipment is left out. It is meant make it easy to switch off everything meaningful when leaving the house with one button. I prefer impulse relay over contactor because of power savings.
Power is 3 x 230 V to neutral and 400 V phase to phase. 50 Hz. Cabinet is with din rail mounting. Country Denmark.
.
Please, any advice is very appreaciated.
