Phoenix Contact CB 1/6-2/4 PT-BE base element (Part Number: 2800929)
The Phoenix Contact CB 1/6-2/4 PT-BE base element (Part Number: 2800929) is a DIN-rail mountable foundational base designed exclusively to host Phoenix Contact CB series pluggable circuit breakers. Engineered with advanced Push-in connection technology, it enables fast, tool-free wiring for high-density DCS and PLC control panels, making it a crucial component for industrial power distribution across the Middle East (UAE, KSA, Qatar) and Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand).
Key Features & Product Highlights
-
Push-in Connection Technology: Allows solid wires and stranded cables with ferrules to be inserted directly without tools, drastically reducing panel wiring time.
-
Modular Pluggable Design: Serves as the robust foundation for CB TM1 (Thermal-Magnetic) and CB E (Electronic) circuit breakers, allowing fast, hot-swappable breaker replacement.
-
Integrated Bridge Shafts: Features dual bridge shafts that accommodate standard FBS plug-in bridges, enabling effortless potential distribution and daisy-chaining across multiple base elements.
-
DIN-Rail Snap-On Mounting: Snaps securely onto standard 35 mm DIN rails (NS 35/7,5 or NS 35/15) for high-vibration resistance in industrial cabinets.
-
Clear Remote Signaling Capability: Includes dedicated wiring terminal points to support the remote status signaling outputs of the plugged-in circuit breakers.
-
Space-Saving Footprint: At just 12.3 mm wide, it maximizes available rail space in densely packed automation enclosures.

CB Series Integration & System Logic
Understanding the relationship between the base element and the breaker simplifies panel design and spare parts procurement for panel builders:
-
The Base Element (2800929): The permanent fixture on the DIN rail. It handles all field wiring and power distribution. You wire this exactly once.
-
The Circuit Breaker (e.g., CB TM1 8A): The active protection module. It plugs directly into the Phoenix Contact CB 1/6-2/4 PT-BE base element. If a breaker fails, it is simply pulled out and replaced without touching a single wire.
-
Potential Bridging: Use standard CLIPLINE complete FBS jumpers (e.g., FBS 2-6, FBS 5-6) in the base element to link power inputs across up to 50 adjacent breakers.
Primary Industrial Applications
The Phoenix Contact CB 1/6-2/4 PT-BE base element is the industry standard for wiring modular 24V DC and 230V AC loop protection systems in demanding sectors:
-
Oil & Gas / Petrochemicals (Middle East): High-density DCS marshaling cabinets requiring fast, vibration-proof Push-in wiring for transmitter power distribution.
-
Power Generation & Utilities: Reliable power distribution backplanes for turbine control panels and switchgear auxiliaries.
-
Water & Wastewater Treatment (Southeast Asia): Rapid assembly of submersible pump control panels and chemical dosing skid automation.
-
Factory Automation & OEM Machinery: Packaging lines, conveyor drives, and robotic cell power distribution where panel space is at a premium.
