1SDA068000R1 ABB XT2V 160 Ekip M-I In=20A 3p F F Moulded Case Circuit Breaker

Why Choose the ABB XT2V 160 Ekip M-I In=20A 3p F F Circuit Breaker?

The ABB XT2V 160 Ekip M-I In=20A 3p F F, order code 1SDA068000R1, is a high-performance three-pole moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed specifically for motor short-circuit protection in low-voltage AC systems. Part of the ABB SACE Tmax XT2 range, it combines a compact frame with an Ekip M-I electronic release and the high short-circuit interruption capability of ABB's XT2V performance level.

This fixed circuit breaker incorporates an ABB Ekip DIP M-I solid-state electronic trip unit rated at 20 A. Designed for motor protection applications, the M-I release provides adjustable instantaneous magnetic short-circuit protection from 6–14 × In, corresponding to an adjustment range of 120–280 A. Motor overload protection should be provided separately by the appropriate overload protection device.

Rated for operation at up to 690 V AC, the XT2V 160 offers an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 150 kA at 380–415 V AC and up to 200 kA at 220–230 V AC. Its fixed three-pole construction, front terminals and compact 90 × 130 × 82.5 mm dimensions make it suitable for motor control centres, industrial switchboards and machinery installations where high fault-current performance is required.

High-Performance Short-Circuit Protection for Motor Circuits

Motor circuits require protection that can distinguish between normal motor starting current and a genuine short-circuit fault. The ABB Ekip M-I electronic release is designed for this purpose, providing adjustable instantaneous protection between 6 and 14 times the 20 A rated current. This allows the short-circuit threshold to be coordinated with motor starting characteristics while providing rapid interruption of severe fault currents.

The Ekip M-I release provides short-circuit protection rather than conventional long-time motor overload protection, so suitable overload protection is normally coordinated separately within the motor starter or motor control system. Combined with the XT2V's 150 kA Icu at 380–415 V AC, the 1SDA068000R1 provides a compact solution for motor circuits installed on electrical systems with high prospective short-circuit currents.

Typical Applications

• Industrial motor control centres.
• Three-phase motor short-circuit protection.
• Pumps, fans and compressor systems.
• Conveyors and material-handling equipment.
• Industrial machinery and production lines.
• HVAC motor circuits.
• Motor circuits with separate overload protection.
