Required only for the Circuit Breaker subcategory.
The application for the device. Choices are:
• Protection Only
• Power On/Off

# of Poles
|
Integer
|
Required only for the Circuit Breaker subcategory.
The number of poles of the circuit breaker.
|
|
# of Active Contacts
|
Integer
|
Not required for the Circuit Breaker subcategory.
The number of conductive elements in the connector that mate with other elements for the purpose of transferring electrical energy. Each contact pair counts as two active contacts.
• In Telcordia Issues 1 and 2 and Bellcore Issues 5 and 6, the number of contact pairs equals n * m, where n equals the number of poles and m equals the number of throws. For example, a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch has 2 contact pairs (1 * 2), meaning four active contacts.
• In Bellcore Issue 4, the number of contact pairs equals n *2m - 1, where n equals the number of poles and m equals the number of throws. For example, a single pole double throw (SPDT) switch has 2 contact pairs (1 * 22 - 1).
