Why Choose the ABB E2S1600 1SDA055989R1 Air Circuit Breaker?

The ABB E2S1600 1SDA055989R1 is a high-performance SACE Emax air circuit breaker (ACB) designed for protection and switching in high-current low-voltage electrical distribution systems. Part of the proven ABB SACE Emax E2 series, this three-pole fixed circuit breaker combines a 1600 A rated current with the advanced PR122/P-LSIG electronic trip unit for comprehensive overload, short-time, instantaneous and earth-fault protection.

Designed for demanding industrial and commercial power distribution applications, the E2S1600 provides reliable circuit protection while supporting selective coordination within low-voltage switchboards. Its PR122/P-LSIG electronic overcurrent release provides L, S, I and G protection functions, helping protect conductors and connected equipment against sustained overloads, short circuits and earth faults.

This model is a three-pole fixed circuit breaker with horizontal rear terminals and a rated operational voltage of up to 690 V AC. The E2S performance level provides a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 85 kA at 415 V AC and 65 kA at 690 V AC, making it suitable for substantial industrial distribution systems where high fault-current interruption capability is required.

Key Advantages

  • High-current 1600 A air circuit breaker for low-voltage power distribution.
  • PR122/P-LSIG electronic trip unit provides comprehensive circuit protection.
  • Long-time, short-time, instantaneous and earth-fault protection.
  • 85 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC for demanding fault conditions.
  • Three-pole fixed configuration for permanent switchboard installation.
  • Horizontal rear terminals support practical busbar and switchboard connection.

Key Features

  • ABB SACE Emax E2S1600 air circuit breaker.
  • 1600 A rated current.
  • 3-pole configuration.
  • PR122/P-LSIG electronic overcurrent release.
  • LSIG protection functions: long-time, short-time, instantaneous and earth fault.
  • Fixed (F) circuit-breaker execution.
  • Horizontal rear (HR) terminals.
  • 85 kA Icu at 415 V AC.
  • 65 kA Icu at 690 V AC.
  • 65 kA Icw for 1 second.
  • Four auxiliary contacts with open/closed circuit-breaker position indication.

Comprehensive Protection for High-Current Distribution Systems

Air circuit breakers such as the ABB E2S1600 provide switching, isolation and protection at the main and distribution levels of low-voltage electrical installations. Their high current capability, substantial short-circuit interruption performance and electronic protection technology make them particularly suitable for switchboards supplying industrial machinery, infrastructure and large commercial loads.

The PR122/P-LSIG electronic trip unit provides four principal protection functions. Long-time protection responds to sustained overloads, short-time and instantaneous functions protect against short-circuit currents, while the G function adds earth-fault protection for enhanced coverage of the electrical distribution system.

Typical Applications

  • Main low-voltage switchboards and distribution boards.
  • Industrial power distribution systems.
  • Manufacturing and process plants.
  • Commercial and infrastructure electrical installations.
  • Transformer secondary and feeder protection.
  • High-current machinery and production systems.
