Reliable Thermal-Magnetic Protection for Four-Pole Distribution

The ABB EPX-XT4N-TM0204 incorporates thermal-magnetic protection technology to safeguard electrical installations against sustained overloads and short-circuit faults. The thermal protection element responds to excessive current over time, helping prevent overheating of electrical conductors and connected equipment. The magnetic protection element responds rapidly to high fault currents, enabling prompt circuit disconnection.

The four-pole construction supports applications where three phase conductors and a neutral conductor must be switched together. This arrangement is useful in compatible three-phase distribution systems requiring neutral switching. The neutral pole's protection characteristics and suitability must be verified for the selected circuit breaker configuration and installation requirements.

The ABB SACE Tmax XT4N160 platform offers a robust moulded case design for commercial and industrial power distribution. Its nominal four-pole width of 140 mm provides a defined mechanical footprint for switchboard planning, while the manual operating mechanism supports straightforward circuit switching and resetting.

When installing the EPX-XT4N-TM0204 within an ABB Protecta Power distribution board, suitable mounting components, terminal connections and protective covers must be selected. Electrical designers should verify prospective fault current, conductor sizing, neutral arrangements and protective device coordination before commissioning.

Typical Applications

  • ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution boards.
  • Commercial low-voltage electrical distribution systems.
  • Industrial electrical switchboards and distribution panels.
  • 20 A four-pole outgoing feeder protection.
