A single family of moulded-case circuit-breakers up to 3200 A
Tmax moulded-case circuit-breakers guarantee an extremely
high performance level while being progressively smaller in
size, simple to install and able to provide increasingly better
safety guarantees for the operator.
In addition to being ideal for the secondary distribution
of alternmate and direct current, they feature dedicated
solutions for all application requirements.
Moulded-case circuit-breakers can be used in low voltage
civil and industrial installations with 1 to 3200 A operating
current. The Tmax family includes 9 circuit-breaker sizes in
three- or four-pole versions:
- XT1, XT2, XT3 and XT4 up to 250A;
- T4, T5 and T6 up to 1000A;
- T7 and T8 up to 3200A.
Up to 250 A Up to 1000 A Up to 3200 A
The ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) at 415V
ranges from 18kA to 200kA, or up to 100kA for 690V.
The following ranges are available:
- Circuit-breakers for AC and DC power distribution;
- Circuit-breakers for zone selectivity;
- Circuit-breakers for motor protection;
- Circuit-breakers for up to 1150V AC and 1000V DC
applications;
- Switch-disconnectors.
All Tmax circuit breakers can be enhanced with a vast range
of standardized accessories. This convenience not only cuts
down on inventory, but creates an extremely flexible and easily
managed solution.
Tmax circuit-breakers can be equipped with thermomagnetic,
solely magnetic or electronic trip units;, all of which are
interchangeable.
Since assembly instructions are simple, trip units can quickly
and easily be replaced; even in the field.
All this makes the circuit-breakers very easy to operate with
considerable savings due to rationalized stock management.

Selectivity
As can be seen from the selectivity tables, there is total selectivity (T), equal to 50 A, between a Tmax
XT4S TM and T5S EL.
Advantages:
- Continuity of service
- Rapid identication of the fault zone
Tmax moulded-case circuit-breakers are the ideal solution for all distribution levels, from the main low
voltage switchboard to the subswitchboards in the installation. They feature high peak current and
specic let-through energy-limiting characteristics that allow the circuits and equipment on the load
side to be sized in an optimum way.
The SACE Tmax family of moulded-case circuit-breakers is available with:
n thermomagnetic trip units for protecting direct and alternate current networks. These trip units
use the physical properties of a bimetal and an electromagnet to detect the overloads and short-
circuits;
n electronic trip units for protecting alternate current networks. These trip units use microprocessor
technology to obtain protection functions that make the operations extremely reliable and accu-
rate.
Due to dedicated devices, the SACE Tmax family of moulded-case circuit-breakers allows the insula-
tion state of the installation to be monitored and ensures that people are protected against direct and
indirect contacts, in accordance with the reference standards.
Selectivity and back-up
Selective coordination can be used among various protection devices in an installation when it
is necessary to minimize the problems associated with faults and abnormal service conditions.
If selective coordination is not a requirement, back-up protection can be used. This method
implies that the supply side device provides protection during a short-circuit, allowing the use
of a lower breaking capacity device on the load side.

A low voltage electrical installation is similar to an industrial process for electricity distribution
and needs a supervisory and monitoring system that is able to increase reliability and optimize
management.
To achieve integration between conventional plant engineering techniques and control sys-
tems for the purpose of running, controlling and monitoring civil and industrial installations in a
centralized and automatic way, one can consider the electrical installation as being affected by
two flows:
n a main flow (energy flow) formed by the power and energy supplied to the users and loads
of an installation through the line conductors and control and protection devices;
n an information flow (digital flow) formed by all the information, data and commands required
to control and manage the installation.
The supervisory system handles the flow of information that transits through the communica-
tion network.

In this type of installation, the circuit-breaker acts as both sensor and actuator. As a sensor,
it collects sensitive information and data and sends them to the supervision system. As an
actuator, it executes the command received from the control device (e.g. PC or PLC).
These characteristics are of particular importance since they meet the growing demands for
circuit-breaker integration into latest generation networks (Smart Grid).
XT4 250 Ekip E-LSIG 3p - Ekip Com, MOE-E
Due to its integrated current and voltage sensors, the Ekip E elec-
tronic trip unit can measure both the main electrical quantities and
the most advanced Power quality indicators; such as Power Factor,
Harmonic distortion and THD.
By means of the trip unit and Ekip Com Communication module,
the MOE-E motor operator allows the digital signals from the su-
pervision and control system to be used and converted into power
signals for operating the circuit-breaker in the remote mode.
T5 400 PR223DS 3p - MOE-E, VM210
Due the conventional L, S, I and G protection functions, the
PR223DS trip unit also allows the main electrical quantities to
be measured.
Using the VM210 accessory and without the need for voltage
transformers, the user can obtain both the current values and
the voltage, power and energy values in the local and remote
modes via a supervising and control system.
T7M 1600 PR332/P 3p - PR330/V, PR330/D-M
The SACE PR332 trip unit for Tmax T7 provides a sophisticated
and exible protection system. Fitted with the PR330/D-M internal
dialogue module, PR332/P becomes a smart protection, measur-
ing and communication device based on the Modbus

RTU
protocol. Module PR330/V measures and processes the neutral
and phase voltages, then transfers these data to the protection
release so that a set of protection and measuring functions can be
implemented.
HMI030
This device, which can be installed on the front of the switchboard,
comprises a graphic display showing all the measurements and
alarms/events of the trip unit. Thanks to its high-level accuracy, the
device is a valid substitute for conventional multimeters without the
need for current/voltage transformers.
XT2 160 Ekip LSIG 3p - Ekip Com, Ekip Display
Ekip Display is a unit that can be applied to the front of the ad-
vanced electronic trip unit and shows the current values, voltage
values, alarms and programmed protection and communication
parameter settings.

ATS022
The ATS022 device monitors both the supply lines and ana-
lyzes phase, frequency imbalance and phase loss. In addiction
to the standard control functions, ATS022 allows you to: select
the priority line, control a third circuit-breaker, integrate the
device into a supervision system with Modbus communication,
read and enter the parameters, display measurements and
alarms using a graphic display.
T7 M (CB1) and T7 M (CB2) Interlocked
XT4 (CB3) for disconnection
Non-priority loads (NPL)
To achieve a correct configuration, each circuit-breaker con-
nected to the ATS must be
accessorized with:
mechanical interlock;
motor operator for opening and closing;
key lock against sole manual operation for MOE motor
operators;
state (open/closed) and tripped contact signalling contact;
connected contact (for the withdrawable circuit-breaker
version).
The ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) is the network-generator transfer unit used in installations
where switching the main power line to an emergency one is required in order to ensure power
supply to the loads in the case of anomalies in the main line.
The new generation of ATS (ATS021 and ATS022) offers the most advanced and complete so-
lutions to guarantee service continuity. The ATS021 and ATS022 can be used both with all the
circuitbreakers in the SACE Tmax XT family and with the switch-disconnectors. Reliable, safe
and smart, the new ATS family conforms to international standards, is easy to configure and is
suitable for all applications.
Fully coordinated systems are ensured, since ATS integrates perfectly with the entire range of
ABB circuit-breakers and switch-disconnectors.
Multi-function logic meets all requirements:
n standard switching logic that allows normal and emergency lines to be monitored, com-
mands to be transmitted to the generator and verification that the circuit-breakers have
been switched (ATS021, ATS022);
n control of the two lines, both of which are non-priority (ATS021, ATS022);
n control of a third, bus-tie breaker (ATS022);
n non-priority load disconnection management (ATS022).

Even rated service needs to be adequately monitored and protected in order to respond to
any faults that might occur.
When it comes to direct starting, ABB SACE proposes two different solutions:
n a conventional system with three poles circuit-breaker equipped with a magnetic only trip
unit for protection against short-circuits, a.thermal relay for protection against overloads
and phase failure or imbalance, and a contactor to operate the motor;
nan advanced protection system which integrates all the protection and monitoring functions,
and a contactor for operating the motor, in the circuit-breaker itself.

The ABB laboratory
The ABB S.p.A - ABB SACE Division Laboratory develops,
certifies and performs follow-up activities for the production
of switchgear and controlgear designed and manufactured in
various different ABB plants. The Laboratory provides a vast
range of installations and experience with regard to the elec-
trical, mechanical, climatic and functional tests required for
low and medium voltage operating, control, safety and meas-
uring mechanisms.
ABB's respect for the environment
Attention to protection of the environment is a priory commitment for
ABB SACE. Conrmation ofthis is the realisation of an Environmental
Management System certied by RINA (ABB SACE was
the rst industry in the electromechanical sector in Italy to obtain this
recognition) in conformity with the International ISO14001 Standard.
In 1999 the Environmental Management System was integrated with
the Occupational Health and Safety Management System according
to the OHSAS 18001 Standard and later, in 2005, with the SA 8000
(Social Accountability 8000) Standard, committing itself to respect
of business ethics and working conditions.
The commitment to environmental protection becomes concrete
through:
selection of materials, processes and packaging which optimise
the true environmental impact of the product
use of recyclable materials
voluntary respect of the RoHS directive
ISO 14001, 18001 and SA8000 recognitions togheter with ISO
9001 made it possible to obtain RINA BEST FOUR CERTIFICATION.
The Laboratory has been certified in Italy by ACCREDIA
and, due to acknowledgements from important international
certification bodies such as ACAE/LOVAG, ANCE, ASTA, ETL
SEMKO, UL, CSA and Shipping Registers, offers ABB and
external customers a qualified certification test service for low
and medium voltage electrical devices and equipment, in ac-
cordance with the respective product standards.
