Why Choose the ABB EPX-XT2S-E2-0634 63A 4-Pole 50kA LSI MCCB?

The ABB EPX-XT2S-E2-0634 is a high-performance 63 A four-pole moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in low-voltage electrical distribution systems. Part of the ABB Protecta Power Devices range, this circuit breaker combines the established ABB SACE Tmax XT2S platform with electronic LSI protection and a specified 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.

Featuring an electronic LSI trip unit, the EPX-XT2S-E2-0634 provides three essential protection functions: long-time overload protection (L), short-time short-circuit protection (S) and instantaneous short-circuit protection (I). These functions enable electrical engineers to configure protection characteristics according to circuit requirements, helping protect electrical conductors and connected equipment while supporting appropriate coordination between upstream and downstream protective devices.

With its 63 A rated current, four-pole configuration and 50 kA breaking capacity, this MCCB is suitable for appropriately designed three-phase electrical distribution circuits incorporating a neutral conductor. The compact ABB XT2S construction supports integration into compatible ABB Protecta Power distribution assemblies, making it a practical choice for electrical contractors, switchboard manufacturers, consulting engineers and industrial maintenance professionals.

Reliable LSI Electronic Protection for 63A Four-Pole Distribution

The ABB EPX-XT2S-E2-0634 provides circuit protection through electronic current monitoring and three complementary protection functions. The long-time protection function (L) responds to sustained overload conditions according to the selected time-current characteristics, helping reduce the risk of excessive heating in electrical cables, terminals and connected equipment. By selecting suitable protection settings, engineers can match the overload response to the electrical circuit's operating requirements and conductor ratings.

The short-time protection function (S) responds to short-circuit currents using an intentional time-delay characteristic. This can help support selective coordination with downstream protective devices where the system design and available trip settings permit. The instantaneous protection function (I) provides rapid interruption of sufficiently high short-circuit currents without intentional time delay. Together, these functions offer greater protection coordination flexibility than a basic fixed-characteristic thermal-magnetic breaker. The precise current thresholds, delay settings and adjustment ranges should be confirmed from ABB documentation for the supplied electronic trip unit.

The ABB SACE Tmax XT2S platform combines electronic protection with a specified 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, making this MCCB suitable for appropriately engineered electrical installations requiring substantial fault interruption capability. Its four-pole configuration supports coordinated switching of three phase conductors and a neutral conductor. The neutral pole's protection arrangement, operating voltage, prospective short-circuit current and discrimination requirements should be verified before installation and commissioning.

What is the rated current of the EPX-XT2S-E2-0634?

The EPX-XT2S-E2-0634 has a 63 A rated current and belongs to the ABB SACE Tmax XT2S platform, which uses a 160 A frame class. The frame class identifies the circuit breaker platform rather than the rated current of this individual device.

What is the breaking capacity of this ABB MCCB?

The EPX-XT2S-E2-0634 has a specified 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The applicable rated operating voltage and manufacturer short-circuit performance conditions must be verified against the prospective fault current at the installation location.

What does LSI electronic protection mean?

LSI identifies three electronic protection functions: long-time overload protection (L), short-time short-circuit protection (S) and instantaneous short-circuit protection (I). These functions provide overload protection and complementary short-circuit responses to support appropriately coordinated electrical distribution systems.

What is the difference between LSI and LS/I protection?

LSI protection provides long-time, short-time and instantaneous protection functions within the trip unit configuration. LS/I protection provides long-time overload protection with a selectable short-time or instantaneous short-circuit function. The exact operating characteristics depend on the installed electronic trip unit.

Can the electronic protection settings be adjusted?

Electronic LSI trip units provide protection adjustment facilities according to their specific configuration. The available long-time, short-time and instantaneous settings for the EPX-XT2S-E2-0634 should be confirmed from the supplied device and ABB technical documentation before commissioning.

What does the four-pole configuration mean?

The four-pole configuration allows coordinated switching of three phase conductors and a neutral conductor. It is suitable for appropriately designed three-phase electrical distribution systems requiring four-pole switching and isolation. The neutral pole's protection characteristics should be verified for the supplied breaker configuration.
