ABB XT1B 160 TMD 50-500 4P F - Moulded Case CB IEC60947-2

Front-terminal, fixed-four-pole construction reduces wiring complexity and accelerates panel assembly, delivering measurable labor savings and improved workmanship in tight switchgear spaces. Application: ideal for manufacturing lines, data centers, and process industries that demand compact protection without compromising accessibility. Setting range 35–50 A with TMD release enables selective protection and coordination across feeders, reducing nuisance trips and enabling precise load-shedding. Application: critical for motor circuits and distribution panels where predictable trip characteristics matter for uptime. Industry context and practical deployment: The XT1B 160 TMD 50-500 4P F aligns with ETIM classifications, WEEE categories, and SCIP reporting, simplifying cataloging and lifecycle management in large facilities. Field installers value consistent documentation, quick-reference wiring diagrams, and universally sized M6 main circuit components, which shorten training time and reduce error rates. For maintenance planners, predictable aging characteristics and known replacement intervals translate into better budgeting and uptime guarantees. In sectors with tight panel layouts or retrofit projects, the front-terminal design minimizes clearance issues and simplifies retrofits. This also supports scalable protection schemes as your plant grows, enabling orderly integration of MCCBs with other Tmax XT devices. Lower heat generation translates into smaller cooling requirements and potential energy savings across the distribution network. This MCCB offers high durability: 8000 electrical cycles per hour and 25,000 mechanical cycles, reducing maintenance frequency and replacement costs. The 3.7 W per-pole power loss minimizes heat and cooling load, while front-terminals and fixed-bolt design simplify inspections. Expect lower total cost of ownership when deployed in continuous-process lines or critical power distributions. This construction supports safer maintenance practices by keeping live components accessible only when necessary, reducing exposure risk during testing or replacement. Global standards support reduces procurement risk: IEC 60947-2 compliance, CE, RoHS, REACH declarations, plus environmental data from EPD and SCIP, aiding audits and sustainable device selection.
