Parameter Category Specification
Assembly Type LV Switchgear Functional Unit / Feeder Compartment
Standard IEC 61439-1 & -2
Internal Separation Form 1 (F1) - Common compartment for busbars, breaker, and terminals.
Busbar System • Rated Current (Ibm): 1600 A
• Short-Time Withstand (Icw): Typically 50-65 kA for 1s (Design dependent)
• Peak Withstand (Ipk): ~2.2 x Icw
Main Protective Device • Type: ABB SACE Emax E1/E2 Frame, Draw-out Air Circuit Breaker.
• Likely Rated Current (In): 1600A (E1.4 or E2.1 frame). Could be 1250A depending on design.
• Poles: 3
• Trip Unit: Electronic (PR1 series - e.g., PR121/P). Typically provides LSI protection.
• Breaking Capacity (Icu): Typically 50 kA (H) or 65 kA (N) at 400V AC, depending on specific breaker order.
Key Breaker Features • Draw-out (W) for isolation, testing, and easy maintenance.
• Electric Charging Motor (M) for automatic spring recharge.
• Shunt Trip (MX) (P) for remote electrical tripping.
Typical Additional Breaker Accessories • Auxiliary Contacts (OF/SD) for status signaling - Highly likely included but not in code; must verify.
• Undervoltage Release (MN) - May or may not be included; must verify.
Control Voltage Motor and shunt trip require an auxiliary control supply (e.g., 110V/220V DC or 230V AC). Must be specified separately.
Physical Configuration One vertical compartment in a switchboard, including:
• Draw-out breaker truck with guides and shutters.
• Busbar connections.
• Cable connection chamber (typically rear or bottom).
• Door with possible control elements (buttons, indicators).
IP Rating (Enclosure) Typically IP31, IP41, or IP54.
The ABB SACE F1S1600 PR1 3P WMP designates a complete low-voltage switchgear functional unit (feeder compartment). It specifies an assembly with a 1600A busbar system in a Form 1 enclosure, housing a draw-out, 3-pole air circuit breaker equipped with a standard electronic trip unit and key accessories.
