Why Choose the ABB MA 500-5000 XT5 3p Trip Unit?
The ABB MA 500-5000 XT5 3p, order code 1SDA100616R1, is a three-pole magnetic trip unit designed for the ABB SACE Tmax XT5 moulded case circuit breaker platform. With a rated current of 500 A, it provides adjustable instantaneous magnetic protection for applications where overload protection is provided separately.
The MA release is particularly suited to motor protection applications, where the circuit breaker provides short-circuit protection while a separate overload device handles sustained overload conditions. Its magnetic threshold is adjustable from 7–13 × In, corresponding to an instantaneous trip setting range of 3500–6500 A with the 500 A rated release.
Designed for three-pole AC/DC applications, the 1SDA100616R1 is supplied as a separate protection release for combination with a compatible three-pole XT5 breaking part. This modular arrangement allows the required XT5 interruption-performance class to be selected independently from the magnetic protection release.

Adjustable Magnetic Protection for ABB Tmax XT5
The ABB MA release is designed primarily to provide instantaneous magnetic short-circuit protection. Unlike a TMA thermomagnetic release, the MA version does not incorporate thermal overload protection. This makes it particularly useful in motor circuits where overload protection is already provided by a dedicated overload relay or other suitable protective device.
For the 1SDA100616R1, the magnetic pickup can be adjusted over 7–13 times the 500 A rated current, giving an instantaneous threshold range of 3500–6500 A. When paired with a compatible three-pole XT5 breaking part, the release forms part of a configurable ABB Tmax XT circuit breaker solution for industrial AC or DC applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor circuits.
- Motor control centres.
- Motor feeders with separate overload protection.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- High-current AC/DC circuits requiring magnetic protection.
- Electrical switchboards and control panels.
- Short-circuit protection of motor circuits.
- Configurable ABB XT5 moulded case circuit breaker assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB 1SDA100616R1?
The ABB 1SDA100616R1 is an MA 500 A three-pole magnetic trip unit for the SACE Tmax XT5 circuit breaker platform, providing adjustable instantaneous short-circuit protection.
What is the magnetic trip range of the ABB 1SDA100616R1?
The magnetic protection is adjustable from 7–13 × In, corresponding to an instantaneous trip threshold of 3500–6500 A for the 500 A release.
Does the MA trip unit provide overload protection?
No. The MA release provides magnetic short-circuit protection rather than thermal overload protection, so suitable separate overload protection should be used where required by the application.
Is the ABB MA 500-5000 XT5 suitable for motor protection?
Yes. The MA release is particularly suitable for motor applications where the XT5 provides short-circuit protection and a separate device provides overload protection.
Is the ABB 1SDA100616R1 a complete circuit breaker?
No. The 1SDA100616R1 is the magnetic protection trip unit and is designed to be combined with a compatible three-pole ABB XT5 breaking part to form the required circuit breaker assembly.
Trusted ABB Circuit Protection
ABB SACE Tmax XT magnetic releases provide robust adjustable short-circuit protection for industrial applications, with modular construction that allows the protection release and XT5 breaking part to be selected for the requirements of the installation.
