1SDX253696R1 ABB EPX-XT2N-TM0204 Protecta Power 20A 4-Pole 36kA XT2N MCCB TMA

Why Choose the ABB EPX-XT2N-TM0204 20A 4-Pole 36kA MCCB?

The ABB EPX-XT2N-TM0204, order code 1SDX253696R1, is a 20 A, 4-pole moulded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) with a specified 36 kA breaking capacity and TMA thermomagnetic trip unit. Part of the ABB Protecta Power Devices range, this circuit breaker is designed for compatible low-voltage electrical distribution applications requiring circuit protection, isolation and switching functionality.

Associated with the ABB Tmax XT2N circuit breaker family, the EPX-XT2N-TM0204 combines a compact moulded-case circuit breaker format with thermomagnetic protection technology. Its 20 A current rating makes it relevant to appropriately designed lower-current distribution circuits, while the four-pole configuration supports applications requiring coordinated switching of four conductors.

The EPX-XT2N-TM0204 is identified by the manufacturer's description 20A 4P 36kA MCCB - TMA. These specifications provide electrical engineers, panel builders and maintenance professionals with essential information when selecting a circuit breaker for compatible ABB Protecta Power distribution equipment. Final suitability must be confirmed against the installation's operating voltage, prospective fault current, protection requirements and applicable ABB technical documentation.

Technical selection note: The manufacturer's supplied description specifies a 36 kA breaking capacity but does not identify the associated operating voltage or whether this value represents Icu or Ics. The applicable breaking capacity, trip adjustment ranges, electrical ratings and installation conditions must be verified against the exact ABB technical documentation.

Thermomagnetic Circuit Protection for Low-Voltage Distribution

Moulded-case circuit breakers are widely used in low-voltage electrical distribution systems to protect circuits against excessive current and to provide switching functionality. Correctly selected MCCBs help protect conductors and connected electrical equipment against overload and short-circuit conditions within the limits of their specified performance.

The ABB EPX-XT2N-TM0204 incorporates a TMA thermomagnetic trip unit. Thermomagnetic protection combines a thermal element associated with overload protection and a magnetic element associated with short-circuit protection. This approach provides two complementary protective functions within a single circuit breaker.

The 20 A rating and 4-pole configuration make the EPX-XT2N-TM0204 relevant to compatible distribution circuits where the electrical design calls for a four-pole protective device. The 36 kA breaking capacity designation is an important selection parameter when assessing the available prospective short-circuit current at the installation point.

As part of the ABB Protecta Power Devices range, the EPX-XT2N-TM0204 can be considered for integration into compatible electrical distribution equipment. Circuit breaker selection must account for conductor sizing, supply characteristics, earthing arrangement, protective coordination, operating voltage and installation requirements. The exact TMA adjustment characteristics and four-pole protection configuration should be confirmed using ABB documentation for order code 1SDX253696R1.
