It features a cross-sectional area of 10mm² and a rated continuous current of 63A. The phase modifier has three rows and is designed for 3-pin connections accommodating up to 10 mm² conductors, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
This ABB System pro M compact comb rail is designed for electricians and installers in residential and commercial settings needing to connect multiple circuit breakers efficiently. Its key benefit is providing a structured and secure way to link up to 4 devices with a 10mm² cross-sectional area and a 63A rated current. A potential consideration is its 3-pin connection, which might require specific wiring configurations.

FAQs
What is the maximum number of devices this comb rail can accommodate?
This comb rail is designed to accommodate up to 4 devices.
What is the maximum conductor size supported?
The comb rail supports conductors with a cross-sectional area of up to 10mm².
What is the rated continuous current for this comb rail?
The rated continuous current is 63A.
Can this comb rail be used with non-ABB circuit breakers?
While it is designed for ABB System pro M compact circuit breakers, compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and should be verified based on physical dimensions and terminal standards.
Is this comb rail suitable for outdoor installations?
This comb rail is intended for use within electrical enclosures and is not designed for direct outdoor exposure without appropriate protection.
What does the '3-pin connection' refer to?
The 3-pin connection typically refers to its suitability for 3-phase power systems or specific wiring configurations that utilize three main power conductors.
How should I ensure proper torque on the connections?
Consult the ABB installation manual for the specific torque values. Using a calibrated torque screwdriver is recommended for accurate tightening.
Troubleshooting
Circuit breaker not engaging with the comb rail
Ensure the breaker is aligned correctly and pushed firmly until it snaps into place. Check for any obstructions on the rail or breaker mounting points.
Overheating at connection points
Verify that the conductors are properly stripped and inserted fully into the terminals. Ensure the terminal screws are tightened to the recommended torque specification. Check if the connected load exceeds the 63A rating.
Loose connections
Re-tighten all terminal screws. If the issue persists, the conductor or terminal may be damaged and require replacement.
Inconsistent power to connected devices
Check all connections along the comb rail and from the rail to the devices. Ensure the incoming power supply is stable and within expected parameters.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Facilitates neat and organized wiring for circuit breakers.
Supports a substantial conductor size (10mm²) for flexibility.
Rated for a high current of 63A, suitable for many applications.
Designed for easy integration within the ABB System pro M ecosystem.

Cons
Limited to a maximum of 4 devices per rail.
The 3-pin connection might not be suitable for all single-phase applications without adaptation.
Requires understanding of 3-phase or specific wiring practices for optimal use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the power supply is de-energized before installation.
Mount the desired number of circuit breakers onto the comb rail, ensuring they click securely into place.
Connect the incoming power conductors to the appropriate terminals on the comb rail, observing polarity and phase sequence if applicable.
Connect the outgoing conductors from the circuit breakers to their respective loads.
Secure the comb rail within the electrical enclosure according to manufacturer guidelines.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for use with ABB System pro M compact circuit breakers and associated components.
Ensure compatibility with the specific electrical system's voltage and current requirements.
Care:
Regularly inspect the comb rail and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
Keep the area around the comb rail clean and free from dust and debris.
When cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
