Simply XTraordinary.
Welcome extraordinary reliability through high-performing and
versatile range of electronic trip units.
Ekip: the newest generation electronic trip units which equip the
frames of SACE Tmax XT2 and SACE Tmax XT4 circuit breakers .
6 SACE Tmax XT UL/CSA | US Technical Catalog
Ekip trip units guarantee absolute tripping reliability and
precision. Apart from the continuous green LED, which indicates
correct operation of the protection trip unit, all the Ekip trip
units also have an LED to signal intervention of all the protection
functions.
To allow the Ekip units to communicate and exchange
information with the other devices, the Ekip Com module can
be inserted inside the circuit breaker, freeing space inside the
electric panel.
All the Ekip trip units can be fitted with a vast range of
dedicated accessories. The main accessories include:
– Ekip Display applied onto the front of the electronic trip unit
for simpler setting and for better reading of information
– Ekip LED Meter a device to be installed on the front of the
trip unit to simplify current readings
– Ekip TT new trip test unit
– Ekip T&P extraordinary testing and programming unit
Finally, for the first time an integrated energy metering function
is available on the 250A frame Ekip: isn’t all this simply
XTraordinary?

Conformity with Standards
SACE Tmax XT circuit breakers and their accessories are constructed in conformity with:
■
Standard
(G6.1)
:
– UL 489;
– CSA C22.2 No. 5;
– IEC 60947-2;
■
Directives
(G6.2)
:
– EC “Low Voltage Directive” (LVD) N° 2006/95/EC (replacing 73/23/EEC and subsequent
Certification of conformity with the product Standards is carried out in the ABB SACE test
laboratory (accredited by SINAL) in respect of the EN 45011 European Standard, by the Italian
certification body ACAE (Association for Certification of Electrical Apparatus), member of the
European LOVAG organization (Low Voltage Agreement Group) and by the Swedish certification
body SEMKO belonging to the International IECEE organization.
The SACE Tmax XT series has a hologram on the front, obtained using special anti-forgery
techniques. This ensures the quality and authenticity of the circuit breaker as a genuine ABB
SACE product.
Company Quality System
The ABB SACE Quality System conforms to the following Standards:
■
ISO 9001 International Standard;
■
EN ISO 9001 (equivalent) European Standards;
■
UNI EN ISO 9001 (equivalent) Italian Standards;
■
IRIS International Railway Industry Standard.
11
The ABB SACE Quality System attained its first certification with the RINA certification body in 1990
.
Environmental management system, social responsibility
and ethics
For ABB SACE, environmental protection is a top priority, as evidenced when ours was the
first industry in Italy’s electromechanical sector to have obtained the RINA’s Environmental
Management System certification in recognition of the company’s commitment in conformity with
the International ISO 14001 Standard.
In 1999, the Environmental Management System and the Occupational Health and Safety
Management System were integrated according to the OHSAS 18001 Standard. In 2005, the SA
8000 (Social Accountability 8000) Standard was integrated, committing itself to respect business
ethics and working conditions.
Our commitment to environmental protection is solidified through:
■
selection of materials, processes and packaging which mitigate the true environmental impact
of the product;
■
use of recyclable materials;
■
voluntary adherence to the RoHS directive
ISO 14001, 18001 and SA8000 recognitions together with ISO 9001 made it possible for ABB
SACE to obtain RINA BEST FOUR CERTIFICATION.

Circuit breakers for power distribution
Main characteristics
SACE Tmax XT molded case circuit breakers are the ideal
solution for all distribution levels, from the main low voltage
switchboard to panelboards throughout the installation. They
feature high specific let-through current peak and energylimiting characteristics that allow the circuits and equipment
on the load side to be sized optimally. SACE Tmax XT circuit
breakers with thermal magnetic and electronic trip units protect
against overloads, short-circuits, ground faults and indirect
contacts in low voltage distribution networks.

The SACE Tmax XT family of molded case circuit breakers can
be equipped with:
■
thermal magnetic trip units
(G3.2)
, for direct and alternating
current network protection, using the physical properties of a
bimetal and an electromagnet to detect overloads and shortcircuits;
■
electronic trip units
(G3.4)
, for alternating current network
protection. Releases with microprocessor technology obtain
protection functions that make the operations extremely
reliable and accurate. The power required for operating them
is supplied straight from the current sensors of the releases.
This ensures they trip even in single-phase conditions at the
minimum setting.
The electronic protection trip unit consists of:
– 3 or 4 current sensors (current transformers);
– a protection unit;
– an opening solenoid (built into the electronic trip unit).

Circuit breakers for motor protection
Main characteristics
When choosing and manufacturing a system for starting (G4.3
and G4.4) and monitoring motors, a given solution’s safety and
reliability are important considerations. Start-up is a particularly
critical phase for the motor itself and for the installation
2
powering it. Even rated service needs to be adequately
monitored and protected in order to deal with any faults that
might occur.
When it comes to direct starting, ABB SACE offers two different
solutions:
■a conventional system equipped with a circuit breaker with
a magnetic only trip unit for protection against short-circuits,
a thermal relay for protection against overloads and phase
failure or imbalance, and a contactor to operate the motor;
Circuit breaker
with magnetic
only trip unit
■an advanced protection system which integrates all the
protection and monitoring functions in the circuit breaker
itself and a contactor for operating the motor.
Several different factors must be considered when choosing and
coordinating the protection and operating devices, e.g.:
■ the electrical specifications of the motor (type, power rating,
efficiency, cosϕ);
■ the starting type and diagram;
■ the fault current and voltage in the part of the network where
the motor is installed.
