Where it sits in the control system
The 2903918 is the device-level element in a Phoenix Contact circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — the rated supply — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Phoenix Contact 2903918
Phoenix Contact 2903918 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number 2903918; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Certifications: CE, UL, cULus — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Terminal wire size: 0.2 mm² ... 2.5 mm² — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
Cross-check the ratings above with the installed device before confirming the order.
Common questions about 2903918
