Product Description

Siemens 3KX8230-0AC Fuse Cover for Superswitch 3KL82/3KA82

The Siemens 3KX8230-0AC is a Fuse Cover accessory for the Siemens Superswitch 3KL8/3KA8 switch-disconnector range. The article is associated with 3KL82 11/21/31 and 3KA82 11/21/31 switch-disconnector configurations. Siemens accessory documentation identifies 3KX8230-0AC as a Fuse Cover, not as an auxiliary switch.

Important product-identification note: the supplied title describes this SKU as an Auxiliary Switch (1NO+1NC), but Siemens documentation lists the 1NO+1NC auxiliary switch for the 3KL82/3KA82 family as 3KX3522-1YC. Therefore, 3KX8230-0AC should not be listed as a 1NO+1NC auxiliary switch.

Siemens 3KX8230-0AC Fuse Cover

The 3KX8230-0AC is part of the Siemens Superswitch accessory range and is designed to provide the appropriate cover for the fuse section of compatible 3KL82/3KA82 switch-disconnectors. Siemens-related product listings also identify the article as a 3-pole Fuse Cover.

The accessory is used as part of the mechanical and protective arrangement around the fuse section of the switch-disconnector.

Compatible Superswitch Models

The 3KX8230-0AC is specified for:

• 3KL82 11/21/31

• 3KA82 11/21/31

This compatibility is shown in Siemens accessory documentation and current product listings.

The exact switch-disconnector article should be checked before procurement to ensure the accessory matches the installed device.

3-Pole Fuse Cover

The standard 3KX8230-0AC is listed as a 3-pole fuse cover for the applicable Superswitch range. Current product information identifies the number of poles as 3.

For newer/variant-specific configurations, Siemens also lists separate fuse-cover articles for 2-pole, 3-pole and 4-pole arrangements. The exact pole configuration should therefore be verified before ordering.

Fuse Cover Function

The primary purpose of the 3KX8230-0AC is to provide the designated cover for the fuse section of a compatible Superswitch assembly.

A correctly fitted fuse cover can help:

• Cover the fuse area

• Reduce accidental access to internal conductive parts

• Maintain the intended switchgear arrangement

• Support a more protected electrical assembly

• Provide the correct mechanical accessory for the switch-disconnector

The actual protection characteristics depend on the complete Siemens assembly and installation.

DIN Fuse Application

Siemens' newer accessory documentation separates DIN and BS fuse-cover variants. The article 3KX8230-0AC is the established fuse-cover article for the 3KL82/3KA82 family, while newer documentation gives specific pole/fuse-system variants such as 3KX8230-0JE for 3-pole DIN and separate BS variants.

Therefore, when replacing an older 3KX8230-0AC installation, the exact fuse system and pole configuration should be checked before selecting a current replacement article.

Correct 1NO + 1NC Auxiliary Switch

For the 3KL82/3KA82 Superswitch family, Siemens identifies:

3KX3522-1YC – Auxiliary Switch (1NO+1NC).

This accessory is separate from the 3KX8230-0AC Fuse Cover.

The distinction is important for SB Smart product cataloguing because a customer searching for an auxiliary contact should not receive a fuse-cover SKU.

Difference Between 3KX8230-0AC and 3KX8230-0JE

The 3KX8230-0AC is the earlier/general fuse-cover article associated with the 3KL82/3KA82 11/21/31 range.

The newer Siemens accessory table lists 3KX8230-0JE as a 3-pole DIN Fuse Cover, alongside 3KX8230-0JF for 2-pole and 3KX8230-0JG for 4-pole configurations.

For replacement procurement, customers should match the exact existing Superswitch model and fuse configuration rather than assuming that the two article numbers are interchangeable.

Difference from Auxiliary Switch Cover

Siemens also lists 3KX8234-0AC as an Auxiliary Switch Cover for the 3KL82/3KA82 family. This is different from 3KX8230-0AC, which is the fuse cover.

Industrial Electrical Applications

The 3KX8230-0AC can be relevant for compatible:

• Industrial switchboards

• Electrical distribution panels

• Superswitch assemblies

• Low-voltage power-distribution equipment

• Fuse switch-disconnector installations

• Industrial switchgear

• Electrical maintenance and replacement applications

The accessory should only be installed with the specified compatible Siemens switch-disconnector.

Replacement and Maintenance

The 3KX8230-0AC can be useful where an existing fuse cover on a compatible 3KL82/3KA82 Superswitch is damaged, missing or requires replacement.

Before ordering, verify:

• Exact Superswitch model

• Fuse configuration

• Number of poles

• DIN or BS system

• Accessory article number

• Mechanical compatibility

This is especially important because Siemens documentation now provides more specific pole- and fuse-system-specific accessory articles.

• 3KX8230-0AC – Fuse Cover
