FAQs

For proper installation, ensure three-pole mounting and Plug-In Circuit-Breaker terminals are used for quick asset integration. Verify the device is wired for the correct rated voltage (690 VAC / 500 V DC) and that feed and load connections match the 125 A rating. Follow ABB XT1 installation instructions to ensure correct release settings (TM/TMD) and proper torque on terminals. Confirm wiring compliance with IEC 60947-2 and local electrical codes. Finally, consider panel space, heat dissipation, and future expandability when selecting this unit.
The rated service and ultimate short-circuit breaking capacities (Ics and Icu) at up to 40 kA indicate the breaker can safely interrupt high fault currents without sustaining damage. This reduces the risk of collateral equipment failure and enhances personnel safety. When planning a panel, match the panel’s prospective short-circuit current (PSCC) with the breaker's Icu/Ics ratings across the expected voltages (220–690 V). This alignment improves system resilience during faults and supports compliance with relevant standards.
Yes, ABB Tmax XT XT1 series breakers are designed for plug-in installation, facilitating retrofits and upgrades within Tmax XT panels. The device follows IEC 60947-2 and ABB’s compatibility guidelines, enabling straightforward substitution in many ABB systems and compatible third-party enclosures that support XT1 form factors. Always verify mechanical fit, terminal spacing, and trip curves to ensure safe, code-compliant operation in mixed-brand environments.
This breaker ships with REACH and RoHS declarations, CMRT documentation, and a CE Declaration of Conformity, supporting responsible procurement and regulatory audits. Environmental packaging disposal information is provided, helping companies manage waste streams. WEEE categorization is noted for Small Equipment, aiding distributors and end-users in proper recycling. Collectively, these documents streamline supplier qualification and lifecycle sustainability reporting.
The combination of high durability (8000 electrical cycles, 25000 mechanical cycles) and quick, plug-in installation reduces downtime during maintenance and replacement cycles. Although initial cost may be higher than basic breakers, the longer service life and faster commissioning translate to lower total cost of ownership, fewer field service visits, and improved equipment uptime across manufacturing lines and process plants.
