Parameter Category Specification
Product Line / Series ABB SACE Emax (E4 Frame)
Device Type Fixed-Mounted Air Circuit Breaker (ACB)
Model Code Breakdown L = Fixed Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit (TMD)
40 = E4 Frame Size Code
25 = Rated Current (In) = 2500 A
H = Breaking Capacity = High (Typically 70 kA Icu at 400V AC)
Standard Compliance IEC 60947-2, UL 489
Rated Operational Voltage (Ue) 690 V AC
Rated Insulation Voltage (Ui) 1000 V AC
Rated Ultimate Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity (Icu) 70 kA at 400V AC (for "H" version). At 690V AC, this rating is lower (e.g., 50 kA).
Rated Service Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity (Ics) Typically 100% of Icu (e.g., 70 kA) for category Ics = Icu.
Rated Operating Current (In) 2500 A (Continuous, at 40°C ambient).
Trip Unit Type Fixed Thermal-Magnetic (TMD/LI - "L" in model)
• Long-Time Protection (L) Fixed inverse-time thermal tripping characteristic. Threshold is preset to the breaker's rated current (2500A).
• Short-Time Protection (S) Not adjustable (fixed magnetic trip). The "I" in LI indicates an Instantaneous-only magnetic trip for high-level short-circuits. No adjustable short-time delay.
• Instantaneous Protection (I) Fixed threshold, typically at a high multiple of In (e.g., ~10xIn).
• Ground-Fault Protection Not included in standard L version.
Control & Accessories
• Standard Operating Mechanism Manual charge spring (stored energy), with manual ON/OFF handle. Can be equipped with an electric motor for remote electrical closing (common option).
• Shunt Trip (MX) Optional, for remote electrical tripping.
• Undervoltage Release (MN) Optional, for automatic tripping on loss of control voltage.
• Auxiliary Contacts (OF/SD) Optional, for signaling breaker status (ON/OFF/Tripped).
Mechanical & Electrical Life
• Mechanical Endurance ≥ 20,000 operations
• Electrical Endurance ≥ 5,000 operations at full rated current
Mounting Fixed installation in switchgear compartments. It is not draw-out.
Connection Front or rear horizontal/vertical power connections for busbars or large cables.
Poles 3-Pole or 4-Pole versions available (model code may differ for 4P).
Dimensions (Approx. for 3P) Width: ~ 300-400 mm, Height: ~ 400-500 mm, Depth: ~ 300-400 mm (Varies).
Weight (Approx.) ~ 80 - 120 kg
Ambient Temperature Operating: -5°C to +40°C (Derating above 40°C applies)
