Performance

The SACE Emax 2 for UL 1066 range is made up of 4 sizes: E1.2, E2.2, E4.2 and E6.2 up to 6000A1), which enable switchgear of
compact dimensions and high ratings to be built with busbars of reduced length and cross-section.
The protection trip units, auxiliary connections and main accessories are the same throughout the range to simplify design and
installation. Furthermore, the sizes from E2.2 to E6.2 have the same height and depth.
The rating levels are updated and uniform throughout the sizes to meet the demands and needs of today’s installations, from
42kA to 150kA at 508V and to standardize switchgear projects.
High short-time withstand currents, together with the efficiency of the protection functions, guarantee complete selectivity in all
situations. Accurate design and choice of materials enable optimization of the overall dimensions of the circuit breaker. In this way
switchgear of compact dimensions can be built and outstanding savings at the same performance can be obtained.

In particular:
– E1.2 offers 1200A with an interrupting rating of up to 65kA and a short-time withstand current of 50kA in an extremely

compact structure. In the three and four pole version, it offers the sturdiness of SACE Emax with reduced dimensions and
enables switchgear of 65kA to be built in units of 16 inches, which is indispensable in places where reduced dimensions are
essential, such as naval and offshore installations.

– E2.2 enables ratings of up to 2000A to be achieved in switchgear with a width of 16 inches when the three pole version is

used. In addition, it provides an interrupting rating of up to 100kA and withstand current of up to 85kA.

– E4.2 is the new standard for circuit breakers up to 3200A. It is designed for interrupting ratings up to 100kA at 508V and

short-time withstand currents of up to 100kA without the need for particular precautions.

– E6.2 is the top of the range, with an interrupting rating of 100kA, a withstand rating of up to 100kA and a structure that

allows 6000A

SACE Emax 2 switch disconnectors IEC 60947

Switch disconnectors, identified with the abbreviation “/MS”, are devices that satisfy the isolating specifications provided by
the IEC 60947-3 Standard. The switch disconnectors are derived from the corresponding automatic circuit breakers, and they
have the same dimensions and accessory options. This version differs from the automatic circuit breakers only because of the
absence of protection trip units.

The device, when in the open position, guarantees an isolating distance between the main contacts of the circuit breaker that is
sufficient to ensure that the installation downstream is not live.
Furthermore the switch disconnectors, if used with an external protection relay with maximum delay of 500ms, enable a
breaking capacity at a maximum rated operating voltage (Ue) equal to the value of rated short-time withstand current (Icw) for
one second.

Protection trip units

Architecture

All SACE Emax 2 circuit breakers are equipped with protection trip units that are
interchangeable from the front with just a few, simple operations by the customer.
There is no need to dismantle the circuit breaker or access any internal or sensitive
parts.

3

This enables personalization of the functions available, even during commissioning or when the circuit breaker has already been
installed. In particular, SACE Ekip consists of:
– Protection trip unit, available with different interfaces and versions that range from basic to more complete; it contains a

latest generation microprocessor that performs all the functions of protection and control.

– Ekip Measuring Module, connected internally to Emax 2, performs voltage, power and energy measurements with high

accuracy without requiring any external connection or voltage transformer. The Ekip Measuring Pro version also performs
all protection functions based on voltage and power without the need for external units, thereby simplifying design and
construction of the system.

– Interchangeable rating plug enables all protection thresholds to be adjusted according to the rated current, increasing

flexibility for the customer. It is useful in installations that are prepared for future development or in cases in which the power
supplied may be limited temporarily.

– Main board is the mechanical housing of the trip unit, which includes a micro-controller for measuring currents and the

self-protection functions. The separation of main board and protection trip unit ensures excellent reliability and immunity to
conducted and radiated emissions. Integrated new generation Rogowski sensors, which are sensitive to the true r.m.s. value
of the current, guarantee high accuracy of both measurements and protection.

3/4 | 1SXU200040C0201 | ABB catalog

1SDC200444F001

All protection trip units of the SACE Emax 2 family are self-powered by current
that flows through the circuit breaker. They guarantee excellent reliability due to a
system of self-controlled internal connections. The setting, testing and downloading
of reports can be carried out directly from a Smartphone, Tablet or PC.

Easily installed cartridge type modules enable the units to be integrated into the most complex systems. Additional functions
can be created, such as:
– Synchrocheck, checks the synchronization between two busbar systems before enabling circuit breaker closing;
– Communication with all supervision systems is available in the Modbus, Profibus and DeviceNet protocols as well as the

modern Modbus TCP, Profinet and EtherNet/IP protocols;

– Integration into Smart Grids according to the IEC61850 standard (used to communicate with high and medium voltage

substation automation systems), without the need for an external converter;

– Multi-voltage supply module, which enables the protection trip unit and modules present to be supplied with any auxiliary

voltage available in direct or alternating current;

– Programmable logic management with Ekip Signaling modules that make a high number of electrical input and output

contacts available;

– Logical interlocks between circuit breakers, which can be made with the Ekip Link proprietary communication protocol,

avoiding complex wiring because of the transmission of all signals via bus.

Ekip Dip

Measurements

The Ekip Dip unit measures phase and neutral current with great accuracy: 1% including the current transformers in the 0.2 ...

1.2 In range (class 1 in accordance with IEC 61557-12). Using the current sensors in the circuit breaker and without the need to
install an external measuring system, it is possible to view the measurements from the display on the front of the Ekip Multimeter
and Ekip Control Panel.
Ekip Dip also records the characteristics of the circuit breaker, to enable a rapid analysis during troubleshooting or maintenance:
– Maximum and average current values per phase;

3

– Date, time, fault current per phase and type of protection tripped over the last 30 trips;
– Date, time and type of operation of the last 200 events (for example: opening/closing of the circuit breaker, pre-alarms, editing

settings);
– Number of mechanical and electric operations of the circuit breaker;
– Total operating time;
– Contact wear (endurance);
– Date and time of the last maintenance carried out, in addition to the estimate of the next maintenance required;
– Circuit-breaker identifying data: type, serial number, firmware version, name of the device as assigned by the user.

The values can be displayed on the front of the Ekip Multimeter or Ekip Control Panel or by Ekip Connect software on a
Smartphone, Tablet or PC by using the communication units Ekip T&P or Ekip Bluetooth.

Watchdog

All the protection trip units of the SACE Emax 2 family ensure high reliability owing to an electronic circuit that periodically controls
the continuity of the internal connections, such as trip coil, rating plug and each current sensor (Ansi 74). In the event of a
malfunction, the LEDs indicate the corresponding alarm to enable the fault to be identified rapidly. Furthermore, Ekip Dip detects
and indicates that the circuit breaker has been opened because one of the protection functions has been tripped (Ansi BF code).
In order to preserve the correct operation of the unit, Ekip Dip is also provided with self-protection against abnormal temperature
(OT) inside the protection trip unit. The user can set it to open the circuit breaker or to merely indicate an alarm.

User interface

Ekip offers a great variety of thresholds and trip times, the protections can be set by dip-switches. Up to 5 LEDs are also
available (depending on the version) to indicate correct operation or alarms. The interface always enables the status of the
installation to be identified clearly and quickly:
– correct operation (green LED)
– overcurrent pre-alarms or alarms
– presence of self-control functions alarms
– maintenance interval expired
– indication of tripped protection after a fault

The protection tripped indication is activated by pressing the iTest key, and operates without the need of an external power
supply because a battery is installed inside the unit.

Communication

The Ekip Bluetooth wireless communication unit enables the operator to interact with the protection trip unit by computer,
Smartphone or Tablet. In fact, the free Ekip Connect software for Smartphones, Tablets and PC, enables measurements and
fault data to be read along with alarm status and information from the circuit breaker to be displayed. It is also possible to set
parameters such as date, time and thermal memory and for records to be reset.

3/8 | 1SXU200040C0201 | ABB catalog

Test function

The test port on the front of the protection trip unit can be used to run circuit breaker tests by connecting one of the following
devices:
– Ekip TT to run the trip test, the LEDs test and check absence of alarms detected by the watchdog function;
– Ekip T&P to permit not only the trip test and LEDs test but also to run the test of the individual protection functions and save

the relative report;

– ITest key that is pressed to run the battery test when the circuit breaker is disconnected.

Supply

The Ekip Dip protection trip unit does not require an external supply for the protection functions or for the alarm indication
functions because it is self-supplied by the current sensors installed on the circuit breaker. A three-phase 100A current suffices
to activate the LED indications.
The Ekip Supply module enables an auxiliary supply to be easily connected and is able to receive both a direct current supply
(24-48VDC or 110-240VDC) and an alternating current (110-240VAC) to activate additional functions such as:
– G protection at values below 100A or below 0.2 In;
– connecting to external devices such as Ekip Multimeter and Ekip Control Panel;
– recording the number of operations.
The Ekip Dip protection trip unit also has a battery that enables the indication of the cause of the fault to be viewed for an unlimited
time after tripping. In addition to that, the battery enables date and time to be maintained and updated, thus ensuring the chronology
of the events. On the other hand, when the unit is switched off, the battery test can be run by simply pressing the iTest key.

Measurements

Measurements and meters

All versions of the Ekip Touch unit measure the RMS value of the currents of
the three phases (L1, L2, L3) and of neutral (Ne) with 1% accuracy in the 0.2 to

1.2 In range (class 1 in accordance with IEC 61557-12). The complete range of
measurement is from 0.03 to 16x In, where In is the value of the rating plug.
The display shows the current of the most loaded phase both in numeric and
analogue format on an ammeter with a 0-125% In scale for rapid identification of
the load of the circuit breaker.

1SDC200468F001

Alternatively, bar graphs that show the currents of the three phases and of neutral
on a 0-125% In scale in addition to the numeric value of the most loaded phase
can be selected as the default page. The bar graphs are yellow in the event of a
pre-alarm and red in the event of an overload to enable an irregular condition to be
identified immediately.
Where applicable, the measurement of the ground fault current is shown on a
dedicated page. The ammeter can operate both in self-supplied mode and with
auxiliary voltage. In the latter case, the display always has back lighting and the
ammeter is also active at currents below 100A.

1SDC200469F001

1SDC200470F001

Adding the Ekip Measuring or Ekip Measuring Pro module to Ekip Touch enables
Ekip Touch to be used as a multimeter to measure the values of:
– Voltage: phase-phase, phase-neutral (accuracy 0.5%);
– Power: active, reactive, apparent (accuracy 2%);
– Energy: active, reactive, apparent (accuracy 2%);
– Frequency (accuracy 0.2%);
– Power factor by phase and total;
– Peak factor.

Maximum values and values register

The Ekip Touch unit is able to supply the measurement trend of certain parameters
over a settable period of time such as: average power, maximum power,
maximum and minimum current, maximum and minimum voltage. The values of
the last 24 time intervals are recorded in the unit with a relative timestamp and
can be consulted directly from the display or remotely using one of the available
communication protocols. The communication can also be used to synchronize the
recording time interval.

Data logger

Ekip Touch is always supplied with the exclusive Data Logger (register) function
that stores with high sampling frequency the instantaneous values of all the
measurements in two memory buffer registers. The data can be easily downloaded
by the Ekip Connect unit and transferred to any personal computer. This enables the
current and voltage waveforms to be analyzed for rapid fault analysis. The function
continuously stores and stops recording, with a selectable delay, whenever the event
set by the user occurs (e.g. trip or alarm). In this manner, it is possible to analyze the
complete evolution of the fault: from the start to its complete elimination.

ABB catalog | 1SXU200040C0201 | 3/15

Protection trip units for power distribution

Ekip Touch

Information on trip and opening data

If a trip occurs, Ekip Touch stores all the information that is required for rapid
identification and elimination of the causes:
– Protection tripped
– Opening data (current, voltage or frequency)
– Time-stamping (data, time and consecutive opening number)

3

If the iTest key is pressed, the trip unit displays all these data directly on the display.
No auxiliary supply is required. The information is also available to the user with the
circuit breaker open or without current flow, due to the battery installed inside the unit.

Maintenance indicators

A complete set of information about the circuit breaker and its operation is available
for effective fault analysis and preventive scheduling of maintenance. All the
information can be seen from the display or from a PC using a communication unit.
In particular:
– Date, time, fault current by phase and type of protection tripped over the last 30

trips;

– Date, time and type of operation of the last 200 events (example: opening/closing

of the circuit breaker, pre-alarms, editing of settings, ect.);

1SDC200471F001

– Number of operations of the circuit breaker: divided into mechanical operations

(no current), electrical operations (with current) and protection function (trip);

– Contact wear (enduarnce) estimated in function of the number and type of

openings;
– Total operating time of the circuit breaker with circulating current;
– Date and time of the last maintenance session, scheduling of the next

maintenance session;
– Circuit-breaker identifying data: type, serial number, firmware version, device

name assigned by the user.

3/16 | 1SXU200040C0201 | ABB catalog

All the information can be viewed directly from the display and from a Smartphone,
Tablet (with Ekip Bluetooth) or PC using the front port of the trip unit or the system
communication.

Watchdog

All of the trip units in the SACE Emax 2 family ensure high reliability because of an electronic circuit that periodically controls
continuity of the internal connections, such as trip coil, rating plug and each current sensor (Ansi 74). In the event of an alarm,
a message is shown on the display, and if it is set during the installation phase, the trip unit can command the opening of
the circuit breaker. If a protection function intervenes, Ekip Touch always checks that the circuit breaker has been opened by
auxiliary contacts that indicate the position of the main contacts. Otherwise, Ekip Touch indicates an alarm (ANSI BF code ­Breaker Failure) to be used to command the opening of the circuit breaker located upstream.
Ekip also contains self-protection that preserves the correct operation of the unit against abnormal temperatures (OT) inside
the protection trip unit. The user disposes of the following indications or controls:

– “Warning” LED for temperature below -4°F/-20°C or above 158°F/70°C, at which the trip unit operates correctly with the

display switched off

– “Alarm” LED for temperature outside the operating range, at which the trip unit commands the opening of the circuit breaker

(if set during the configuration phase).

User interface

All Ekip Touch operations are simple and intuitive due to the wide graphic color
touchscreen display. For example, all the main information is listed on one page
(settable by default), thus enabling the state of the installation to be identified rapidly:
maximum current, maximum voltage, active, reactive, apparent power and energy.
In addition, the use of Ekip Touch is further simplified by the possibility of scrolling
through the menu and reading the alarms in one of the languages that can be set
directly from the display: Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese,
Chinese, Russian, Turkish and Thai.
The home pushbutton enables you to return, at any moment, to the main page and

1SDC200472F0011SDC200473F001

the iTest key enables the information to be viewed after a circuit breaker trip or test.

3

As in the previous generation of trip units, a password system is used to manage
“Read” or “Edit” modes. The default password, 00001, can be edited by the user.
The protection parameters (curve and trip thresholds) are settable in “Edit” mode
whereas it is always possible to consult the information in “Read” mode.

On the front of the trip unit there are also two LEDs: a pre-alarm LED (square yellow
LED) and an alarm LED (red triangular LED); a message on the display always
accompanies the flashing of the LEDs for clear identification of the type of event.
The list of all the alarms active at that moment can be viewed by simply touching
the display on the white strip in the bottom left of the alarms zone.

Ekip Touch is also supplied with a front port that permits a temporary connection to
devices for test, supply or communication (for example Ekip T&P).

Protection trip units for power distribution

Ekip Touch

Communication

Communication modules that can be installed inside the circuit breaker enable Ekip Touch to be integrated into the most
modern supervision systems with protocols:
– IEC 61850
– Modbus TCP
– Modbus RS-485
– Profibus

3

– Profinet
– DeviceNet
– EtherNet/IP

The integration into communication systems enables measurements, statuses and alarms to be programmed and viewed by
remote functions. If the circuit breaker has to be opened and closed remotely, the Ekip Com Actuator module can be installed
in the circuit breaker front, in the right-hand accessories chamber.
For each circuit breaker, several communication modules with different protocols can be used simultaneously; for example, this
enables the circuit breaker to be connected to the Ekip link system to obtain local supervision from the front of the switchgear
and to simultaneously integrate it into a communication network. In addition, for applications requiring very high reliability, up
to two modules of the same protocol can be inserted by use of the redundant version that enables two different addresses to
communicate on the same bus.

Test function

For testing the circuit breaker, it is possible to use the test port and the iTest key positioned on the front of the protection trip
unit. The available functions are:
– trip test, test of the display and of the LEDs and check of absence of alarms detected by the watchdog function using Ekip

TT (always supplied with Ekip Touch);

– test of the single protection functions and saving of the report, in addition to the trip test and test of the display, using Ekip

T&P;

– test of the battery with the circuit breaker switched off by pressing the iTest key.

3/18 | 1SXU200040C0201 | ABB catalog

Supply

The Ekip Touch protection trip unit is self-supplied by the current sensors and does not require an external supply for the
basic protection functions or for the alarm indication functions. All protection settings are stored in a non-volatile memory that
maintains the information, even without a power supply. To activate the indication functions the ammeter and the display, a
100A three-phase current suffices.
An auxiliary supply can easily be connected. The Ekip Supply module can be connected to supplies of both direct current and
alternating current to activate additional functions such as:
– using the unit with circuit breaker open;
– using additional modules such as Ekip Signaling and Ekip Com;
– connection to external devices such as Ekip Multimeter and Ekip Control Panel;
– recording the number of operations;
– G protection with values below 100A or below 0.2 In;
– zone selectivity;
– Gext and MCR protection functions.

Supply Ekip Supply

Rated power (including modules) 10W max. 10W max.

Inrush current ~10 A for 5 ms ~10 A for 5 ms

The Ekip Supply module allows the cartridge modules to be used in the terminal box area. Otherwise, the trip unit can be
supplied by means of a galvanically isolated 24 VDC auxiliary voltage.

3

The Ekip Measuring Pro module can supply the Ekip Touch trip unit with line voltage above 85V. In addition, if the module is
installed with voltage pick-ups on the supply side, the trip unit can be used even if the circuit breaker is open.
The Ekip Touch protection trip unit is also supplied with a battery that enables the cause of the fault to be indicated after a trip,
without a time limit. In addition, the battery enables date and time to be updated, thus ensuring the chronology of the events.
When Ekip Touch is operating, it uses an internal control circuit to indicate automatically that the battery is flat. On the other
hand, when the unit is switched off the battery test can be run by simply pressing the iTest key.

Protection trip units for power distribution

Ekip Hi-Touch

Directional overcurrent (D – ANSI 67): the protection is able to recognize the direction of the current
during the fault period and thus detect if the fault is upstream or downstream of the circuit breaker. The
protection, with fixed time trip curve (t=k), intervenes with two different time delays (t7bw and t7fw),
according to the current direction. In ring distribution systems, this enables the distribution portion to be
identified in which the fault occurred and to disconnect it while maintaining the operation of the rest of the
installation.

Generator

Zone selectivity for protection D (ANSI 68): enables the possibility to connect circuit breakers among

them, that in case of fault rapidly isolate the fault area, disconnecting the installation only at the level

nearest to the fault, maintaining the operation of the rest of the installation. The function is particularly
useful in ring and grid installations where, in addition to the zone, it is also essential to define the
flow direction of the power that supplies the fault. It is possible to enable directional zone selectivity

Second protection against undervoltage and overvoltage (UV2 and OV2 – ANSI 27 and 59): enables

Second protection against underfrequency and overfrequency (UF2 and OF2 – ANSI 81L and 87H):

This second series (set B) can replace, if necessary, the default series (set A) by an external control.
The control can be given when the network configuration is edited, for example when an emergency
source is activated in the system, changing the load capacity and the short-circuit levels. Another typical
application is protecting the operator opposite the switchgear against the electric arc. In this case,
protection delays are minimized to safeguard the operator (Set A), whereas in the absence of an operator
the protections are set to ensure selectivity with the circuit breakers downstream (Set B). It is possible to
activate series B by:

– Digital input available with an Ekip Signaling module;
– Communication network, by means of one of the Ekip Com communication modules;
– Directly from the Ekip Hi-Touch display;
– By a settable internal time, after the circuit breaker has closed.

3/22 | 1SXU200040C0201 | ABB catalog

Measurements

The Ekip Hi-Touch trip unit offers a complete series of measurements, common to Ekip Touch:
– Measurements and counters: currents, voltage, power, energy;
– Maximum values and value log;
– Data logger;
– Information on the trip and opening data;
– Maintenance indicators.

Ekip Hi-Touch integrates the exclusive Network Analyzer function, which analyzes the quality of energy consumed by the
installation, in accordance with the provisions of international standards EN50160, IEC 61000-4-30, IEEE 1159 and IEEE 1250,
in terms of harmonic content, average value and long or short term changes in voltage. Changes in the quality of energy can
cause malfunctions in the switchgear and a reduction in their lifespan, as well as increasing losses and reducing the energy
efficiency of the installation.
It is therefore increasingly important to assess the quality of the energy and the economic impact it has on the productive
process, so that the appropriate preventive and corrective actions can be taken. With Ekip Hi-Touch, the causes of an increase
in power lost in transformers or motors, or a reduction in the lifespan of cables and capacitors, can be identified without the
need to install any external instrumentation.

The Network Analyzer function performs continuous monitoring of the quality of energy, and shows all results through a display
or communication module. In particular:
– Hourly average voltage value: in accordance with international standards, this must remain within 10% of the rated value,

but different limits can be defined according to the needs of the installation. The positive sequence voltage is obtained from
the three line voltages and compared with the limits. If the limits are exceeded, Ekip Hi-Touch generates a Signaling event. The
quantity of these events is stored in a counter. The counter values are available for each of last 7 days, as well as the total. The
measures availabe are the positive and negative sequence voltages and positive and negative sequence currents of the last
interval monitored. The interval calculation time of the average values can be set between 5 minutes and 2 hours.

– Interruptions / short dips in voltage (voltage interruptions / voltage dip): if the voltage remains below the threshold for more

than 40ms, Ekip Hi-Touch generates an event that is counted in a dedicated log. The voltage is monitored on all lines.

– Short voltage spikes (voltage transients, spikes): if the voltage exceeds the threshold for 40ms, set for a pre-determined

time, Ekip Hi-Touch generates an event that is counted.

– Slow voltage sags and swells (voltage sag / voltage swell): when the voltage goes outside the range of acceptable limit values

for a time greater than the one set, Ekip Hi-Touch generates an event that is counted. Three values can be configured for
voltage sags and two for voltage swells, each of which associated to a time limit: this enables us to verify whether the voltage
remains within a curve of values that are acceptable by equipment such as computers. The voltage is monitored on all lines.

– Voltage imbalances: if the voltages are not equal or the phase displacements between them are not exactly 120°, an

imbalance occurs, which is manifested with a negative sequence voltage value. If this limit exceeds the threshold value set,
an event is stored which is counted.

– Harmonic analysis: the harmonic content of voltages and currents, measured to the 50th harmonic, as well as the value of

total harmonic distortion (THD), is available in real time on the display or through the communication modules. Ekip Hi-Touch
also generates an alarm if the THD value or the magnitude of at least one of the harmonics exceeds the values set.

The voltage is monitored on all lines and currents on all phases.

All information can be displayed directly on the screen or on a smartphone, tablet or PC using the front port of the trip unit
(with Ekip Bluetooth) or installation communication.

Rate of change of frequency (ROCOF – ANSI 81R): enables both positive and negative frequency
variations to be detected rapidly. The protection is constant and is tripped when the frequency variation
in Hz/s is greater than the set threshold.

Second protection against voltage controlled overcurrent protection (S2(V) - ANSI 51V): available in
addition to the protection S(V), enables total selectivity to be achieved in all installations.

I

Second protection against loss of field or reverse reactive power (RQ – ANSI 40 or 32R): enables
the generator’s de-energization curve to be followed very accurately, thereby avoiding any unnecessary
disconnection.

Management of loads

According to the consumption estimate at the end of the period, Ekip Power Controller will take different actions:
– if the value estimated is greater than the power set as a target, Ekip Power Controller makes the decision to disconnect one

of the loads controlled from the power supply, or to connect a generator;

– if the value estimated is equal or slightly less than the average power set as a target, Ekip Power Controller makes the

decision to leave the conditions of the controlled loads and generators unchanged;

– if the value estimated is significantly lower than the average power set as a target, Ekip Power Controller makes the decision

to reconnect one of the loads controlled to the power supply, or switch off a generator if one or more of these have been

switched on previously.
This operation is carried out cyclically each time by calculating a new estimate: therefore, if the estimate of power consumed
continues to be too high despite the fact that a load has been disconnected, Ekip Power Controller will proceed to
disconnect another and so on, until the power limit is respected. In this way, the number of connected or disconnected loads
varies dynamically, and always with the guarantee that only the minimum number needed to maintain the power limit are
disconnected.

Priority of loads

If the decision made is to disconnect or re-connect one of the loads controlled, Ekip Power Controller proceeds according
to an established order: the load indicated as the first will be that of least importance, or that for which a temporary period
of deactivation is acceptable; the load indicated as the second will be the next one in order of importance, and so on. The
loads that have been disconnected in that order will be re-connected in the reverse order, beginning with the load that is most
important for the installation. In this way, the impact on the production process can be minimized, limiting the disconnection
time for loads of the highest priority. Furthermore, by gradually connecting and disconnecting the loads in order of priority,
voltage imbalances and consumption peaks that can affect the network are avoided.

3

Protection of the installation

Ekip Power Controller can be integrated perfectly into the installation’s protection devices. In fact, if one of the controlled circuit
breakers opens due to an overcurrent or by manual operation, Ekip Power Controller considers the load unavailable until the
operator resets it, making it available again. In this way, safe operation of the installation is always guaranteed.

Installation

Ekip Power Controller is not only simple to implement and use, it is also very flexible because of parameters which have been
specially developed to satisfy the needs of all applications.

Installation parameters:

– Power limit: this is the average power that Ekip Power Controller respects, which can be selected in kW directly from the

display.
– Evaluation window: this is the period in which the distributor of electrical energy evaluates the maximum power, which can be

selected within a wide range to respect the local needs of each country.
– Synchronization input: this is used to synchronize the clock inside Ekip with that of the meter. It can also be used to signal a

change in band.

Parameters of the user:

– Type of user: can be selected from among load and generator.
– Minimum disconnection time (T off min): this is the minimum time for which a load or generator is not supplied with power

following disconnection. This is useful when you wish to avoid frequent operations on users that are at the top of the priority

list. Ekip Power Controller reconnects the load or generator only after the time set has passed.
– Maximum disconnection time (T off max): this is the maximum time for which no power is permitted. It is required, for

example, in the case of an oven to keep the temperature within the established limits. When the time has passed, Ekip Power

Controller reactivates it automatically, disconnecting, if necessary, a load of a higher priority.
– Minimum connection time (T on min): minimum time for which a load or generator is kept powered following reconnection. It

is useful in the event the generator has a minimum time for which it must remain connected. Until the time set has passed,

Ekip Power Controller will not disconnect the load, connecting, if necessary, loads of a higher priority.
– Time window: this is the hours in the day when a load or generator can be operated. It is useful, for example, in the case of a

cafeteria that cannot be disconnected during meal times, or a diesel generator that can not be operated at night due to noise

pollution.
– Temporary unavailability: a user can be temporarily deactivated, for example, because it is undergoing maintenance, through

the circuit breaker display or digital input connected to a manual/automatic selector. The digital input can also be used, for

example, in the case of a fridge, to manage its interruptability: with active input the fridge cannot be disconnected as it is

above the minimum temperature, with inactive input, on the other hand, it can be disconnected.

4

measurements, system diagnostics, trends…) can be monitored and controlled.

- adaptation to real requirements; when only current needs to be monitored, the economic Ekip Dip trip unit can be
connected to Ekip Link without having to use circuit breakers equipped with communication modules.

- access via the Internet to the installation by any Internet browser using the web server function performed by the Ekip
Control Panel.

- rapid installation, through the use of standardized EtherNet components such as STP cables and RJ45 type connectors.

- ease of use; due to the Ekip Control Panel operator panel in front of the switchgear with color touch screen, the system

mimic panel can be displayed so that the entire installation can be controlled rapidly and intuitively.

- ready to use; Ekip Control Panel is supplied with pre-configured software that requires no programming. It is only necessary
to start scanning the Ekip Link system from the operator panel and in a few seconds communication with the connected
devices is active.

Ekip Link enables supervision of electrical switchboard or switchgear containing up to 30 SACE Emax 2 circuit breakers.
Tmax T and Tmax XT series circuit breakers equipped with Modbus RTU communication can also be easily integrated into the

Emax 2

Embedded ATS system

General introduction

ABB’s embedded ATS system makes it easy to monitor, control and communicate in
power networks

Over the past few years, service continuity in low voltage electrical installations has played an increasingly leading role. In
actual fact, this requirement is a fundamental characteristic if economically and functionally efficient installations are to be
created. A system able to switch the supply from the main line to an emergency line reduces problems caused by faulty
conditions in the public network to the minimum. These operations, commonly known as “automatic switching”, comprise
sequences that automatically control the installation components (the circuit-breakers play a fundamental role) without
interventions from the operator. To guarantee that power is supplied to the loads, a fundamental requirement in an installation
is to have a redundancy in supply sources type N+1, usually consisting of a transformer and emergency generator (or, as an
alternative, a second transformer).

An installation with an automatic switching system:

– Maximizes the service continuity of any process
– Provides a power supply with high quality voltage if the main network is out of service
– Manages microgrids connection and disconnection form main grid.
– Reduces the effects caused by network faults on parts of the installation (voltage reduction leads to loss of stability in the rotating

machines, a higher voltage drop, faults in the equipment, etc…)
– Achieves a good compromise amongst reliability, simplicity and cost-effectiveness
– Provides the maintenance staff and managing system with a power source able to supply the installation or part of it when the

transformer is being serviced

The ATS solution

The Embedded ATS is a high-per formances energy automation system, easy to install and program.In a world where
digital communication is the predominant agent responsible for improved efficiencies and performances in industrial and
power applications, ABB is moving to re-invent how digital systems are embedded. ABB’s ATS system takes advantage of the
new capabilities provided by the new Ekip Connect 3 Software and the intelligent circuit breaker such as Emax 2 to deliver
compact and reliable solution.

Emax 2

Embedded ATS system

SACE Emax 2 all-in-one innovation improves efficiency in any electrical plant thanks to its unique features. It offers the highest
short circuit performance in the most compact size and, for the first time, Emax 2 and its intelligent protection units integrate in
one single device protection features and automatic transfer switching programmable logics. Ekip Connect is the ABB
commissioning and programming software that allows the potential of Ekip electronic trip units to be fully realized. Using Ekip
Connect, the user can manage power, acquire and analyze electrical values, and test protection, maintenance and diagnostic
functions. So, where are you going to use ABB’s ATS and why?

Where can ATS be applied?

4

Automatic Transfer Switch systems is common in all application where service continuity is essential and where there are multi
source supplies. The main applications are:

- Power supplies of UPS groups in general

- Oil & Gas

- Operating theatres and primary hospital services

- Emergency power supplies for civil building, hotels and airports

- Data banks and telecommunication systems

- Power supply of industrial line for continuous processes

Another case of use of ATS is in all cases where a portion of grid with local generation, called microgrid, can be disconnected
from main grid.

The benefits

ABB’s ATS solution - ready-to-go

If you have ever programmed a power automation switchboard, you know that it requires PLC programming skills and electrical
knowledge. Moreover, every custom-engineered system demands individual effort and personal responsibility. Moreover, if a
setting needs to be changed the engineer may have to re-open the project, which has associated time and money costs.
ABB’s ATS now cuts this long story short by giving you general templates - tested and ready-to-go - that you can personalize
by changing some basic settings via a graphical interface. When you are satisfied with how things look, a simple tool allows you
to upload the template to the devices. And that is it. The system is up and running.

And if you need to change a parameter, just connect your laptop and do the changes with the same easy graphical interface.

Estimated time and cost savings on the ATS engeenering on the low voltage project: 95%
