ABB 1SDA063012R1 Moulded Case Circuit Breaker - 8 kV

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 1600 A rated current supports large feeders and transformer protection, reducing the risk of nuisance trips and enabling smoother uptime in heavy-load applications across steel, chemical, and utility sectors. This translates to measurable productivity gains and lower escalation costs in critical processes where uninterrupted power matters. Application contexts include 690 V AC distribution networks in MCCs and transformer substations where high Icw is required for brief fault events while preserving system continuity. Feature → Front-terminal, fixed design → Installation efficiency and safer servicing. The front-terminal configuration simplifies wiring, improves labor efficiency during panel assembly, and enhances accessibility for testing and maintenance, especially in crowded switchgear spaces. Application: new builds and retrofits in compact control rooms or crowded switchgear enclosures. Feature → PR331/P LSIG release → Safer, energy‑efficient operation. Stored‑energy mechanism enables quick, reliable tripping with reduced manual effort, improving personnel safety during commissioning and maintenance, and ensuring consistent reclose behavior in dynamic load profiles. Application: industrial power centers, motors starting circuits, and distribution boards where swift, repeatable trips are essential. Feature → 3P design and high Icu/Ics ratings → Enhanced protection with flexibility. This model delivers strong short‑circuit performance (Ics up to 85 kA at 220–230 V and 30 kA at 690 V) and robust ultimate breaking capacity (cu) ratings across voltages, supporting diverse industrial loads from transformers to large motor drives. Application: transformer feeder protection and heavy motor feeders requiring dependable fault clearing in a compact, front-terminal MCCB package. Feature → Compliance and environmental data → Risk reduction and sustainability. RoHS and REACH declarations, CMRT, TSCA statements, and an environmental information note align with global procurement standards and sustainability goals, easing regulatory audits and supplier qualification for multinational projects. Application: global manufacturing plants and projects with strict regulatory requirements. Feature → Form factor and dimensions → Installation planning and lifecycle management. With a compact footprint (210 mm width, 268 mm height, 178 mm depth) and a total weight around 11 kg, integration into existing switchgear is straightforward, and spare-part planning becomes predictable, reducing downtime due to stockouts during maintenance.
