| ABBs
world-first integrated DC circuit breaker |
|
|
|
2008-04-01 - ABB has launched a low-voltage
air circuit breaker for critical DC applications that integrates
for the first time advanced functionality and external
devices in a single space-saving, factory-tested unit.
The ABB SACE Emax DC circuit breaker integrates in a single
unit a broad range of advanced monitoring, protection and
control functions that were previously performed by external
devices. It is the only breaker of its kind on the global
market.
Emax DC, on the other hand, combines in a single breaker the
trip unit, current and voltage sensors and connections, as
well as a comprehensive range of advanced protection, measurement,
communication, automation, diagnostic and HMI (human machine
interface) functions.
|
| Critical
applications |
Emax DC is designed
for key power applications where continuity of power supply
is critical.
Typical users include hospitals, continuous process industries,
telecommunications and data processing centers, as well as electrical
traction and drilling units, chemical and electrolytic processes,
and naval applications like speed control and battery or fuel
cell propulsion.
Launched in late 2007, Emax DC has attracted strong interest
from customers in markets all over the world. |
