Advanced Circuit Protection for Power Distribution

Air circuit breakers such as the ABB SACE Emax 2 E4.2S provide protection, switching and isolation for high-current low-voltage electrical networks. By detecting overload and short-circuit conditions, the breaker can disconnect the affected circuit to help protect cables, switchgear and connected equipment while supporting continuity throughout the wider distribution system.

The Ekip Hi-Touch LSI trip unit combines long-time, short-time and instantaneous protection with advanced electronic functionality for demanding power distribution applications. Combined with the E4.2S frame's 4000 A current rating and high short-circuit performance, this makes the 1SDA071838R1 particularly suitable for critical main distribution and high-current feeder applications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial low-voltage main distribution switchboards.
  • Manufacturing plants and production facilities.
  • Commercial building electrical distribution systems.
  • Data centres and critical power infrastructure.
  • Utilities and infrastructure installations.
  • Generator and transformer distribution systems.
  • High-current incoming supply protection.
  • Main and feeder circuits requiring selective short-circuit protection.
