Air circuit breakers deliver high-current protection and switching for main low-voltage power distribution systems in industrial facilities.

Overview

Description

ABB SACE Air Circuit Breakers, comprising Formula Air, Emax 2 and Emax 3 series, deliver reliable electrical protection, operational safety and efficient power distribution. Designed for industrial, commercial and infrastructure applications, these ACBs provide advanced protection against overloads, short circuits and earth faults. With a wide range of current ratings, frame sizes and fixed or withdrawable configurations, they offer flexibility for diverse low-voltage distribution requirements. Advanced electronic trip units, monitoring capabilities and digital connectivity support reliable operation and effective power management.

Key Benefits

  • Reliable Electrical Protection: Advanced electronic protection against overloads, short circuits and earth faults helps safeguard electrical equipment and distribution networks.
  • High Breaking Capacity: Multiple breaking-capacity options provide flexibility in selecting circuit breakers according to the prospective short-circuit levels of the installation.
  • Intelligent Protection and Monitoring: Electronic trip units provide configurable protection, electrical measurements, diagnostics and event monitoring, depending on the selected product family and configuration.
  • Enhanced Operational Safety: Optional electrical and mechanical interlocks, protection accessories and advanced arc-flash protection features help improve operational safety.
  • Digital Connectivity: Communication capabilities enable integration with PLC, SCADA, building management and energy monitoring systems.
