1SDA117057R1 ABB Ekip UP+ Protect

Why Choose the ABB Ekip UP+ Protect?

The ABB 1SDA117057R1 Ekip UP+ Protect is an advanced low-voltage digital protection, monitoring and measurement unit designed to upgrade electrical distribution systems with intelligent electronic protection and digital functionality. Part of the ABB Ekip UP+ platform, it combines electrical measurement, protection and asset management capabilities in a single configurable device.

Ekip UP+ Protect builds on the monitoring capabilities of the Ekip UP+ platform by adding current, voltage, power and frequency protection functions. This allows existing low-voltage installations to gain advanced electronic protection without necessarily replacing the installed switching device, making the unit particularly valuable for retrofit, modernisation and digitalisation projects.

The Ekip UP+ architecture works with suitable external current sensors, a rating plug and an Ekip Supply module to monitor electrical conditions and interface with compatible switching equipment. Its modular design also supports optional communication, signalling, synchronisation, load shedding and motor protection accessories, providing a flexible platform for industrial and commercial power distribution systems.

Key Advantages

• Combines protection, electrical measurement and asset monitoring in one digital unit.
• Adds protection functions based on current, voltage, power and frequency.
• Suitable for modernising existing low-voltage electrical distribution systems.

Advanced Protection for Existing and New Electrical Systems

The ABB Ekip UP+ Protect provides a practical way to introduce modern electronic protection into low-voltage installations. External current sensors monitor the electrical system and provide measurement information to the digital unit, while Ekip UP+ can issue signals to compatible switching equipment when configured protection conditions require intervention.

In addition to standard protection functionality, the modular Ekip UP+ architecture supports advanced automation and connectivity options. Compatible accessories include Modbus TCP communications, Ekip Com Hub, Ekip Synchrocheck, Ekip Signalling modules, adaptive load shedding and motor protection, allowing the system to be tailored to sophisticated electrical distribution and automation requirements.
