— Thermal-magnetic trip units
— The Ekip Touch/Hi-Touch trip units These represent the state of the art in terms of technology for AC network protection with ad- vanced protection and system management func- tions. Diverse communication protocols enable the reading of measurement parameters and circuit- breaker control remotely. Class 1 active energy measurement in compliance with the IEC 61557-12 Standard permits highly de- manding requirements of energy efficiency to be satisfied. The integrated display makes interaction with the Ekip Touch/Hi-Touch an easy and intuitive experience for the user and the embedded Blue- tooth functionality allows fast interaction via EPiC (Electrification Products intuitive Configurator), the new application to configure and check the sta- tus of the ABB low voltage circuit breakers. The Ekip Touch trip unit guarantees maximum flex- ibility. In fact, by selecting among the numerous software solutions available, it is possible to cus- tomize the functionality of the device at will. On the other side, the Ekip Hi-Touch trip unit includes all functions by default, representing the top-of-the- line in the SACE Tmax XT offer. New digital experience With the new Ekip Touch and Hi-Touch trip units, it is always possible to select and install the desired functions on the device. The functions can be se- lected when ordering the circuit-breaker or down- loaded directly from the ABB Ability Marketplace™, even from a smart phone or tablet, thus reducing in- stallation time to zero.
Used in both AC and DC networks, these are a solu- tion for protection against overloads and short-cir- cuits. Overload protection is ensured thanks to ABB thermal device based on a temperature dependent bimetal heated by the current. Protection against short-circuiting is realized with a magnetic device.
— The Ekip Dip trip units
The first level of electronic trip units, used for the protection of AC network: these are based on mi- croprocessor technologies and guarantee high reli- ability and tripping precision. They provide protec- tion against overloads, selective short-circuits, short-circuits and earth faults. The power required for their operation is provided directly from the current sensors.
