Description 1.1. General characteristics The SACE Emax series of circuit-breakers and disconnectors consists of a steel sheet structure which houses the operating mechanism, the poles and the auxiliary parts. Each pole, insulated from the others, contains the circuit-breaking parts and the current transformer of the corresponding phase.
Checking on receipt Examine the state of the material received and its consistency with the content of the order. Should any damage or errors be found on unpacking, which must be carried out carefully, make the relative notifi cation within and not over 5 days from the receipt of the material.
Installation 4.1. Installation room Install the circuit-breaker in a dry, dust-free, non-corrosive room, and in such a way that it is not subject to shocks or vibrations. Where this is not possible, install it inside a switchboard with a suitable degree of protection. For the preparation of the installation room, please refer to the “Overall dimensions”...
Installation of the fi xed part (Fig. 12) Attach the fi xed part by means of the screws (1), washers (2) and nuts (3) (M8 x 16), supplied by ABB SACE. if other screws are used, make sure that the head of the screws does not extend more than 5.5 mm from the base of the fi xed part.
Electrical connections 5.1. Connections to the power circuit 5.1.1. Shapes of the terminals Fixed circuit-breaker Fixed part for withdrawable circuit-breaker Horizontal rear terminals Vertical rear terminals Horizontal rear terminals Vertical rear terminals Front terminals Front terminals Flat terminals Fig. 14 Fig.
5.1.3. Assembly procedure for the connection busbars Check the state of the contact surfaces of the connections very carefully: they must be very clean with no burrs, dents or traces of rust which must be eliminated using a fi ne fi le or an emery cloth to prevent localized increases in temperature. On completion of the operation, remove all traces of grease or dust with a cloth soaked in a suitable solvent.
5.3.2. Withdrawable circuit-breaker For connection of the moving part to the auxiliary circuits, a connection with sliding contacts is available on the fi xed part (see fi gure), identifi ed by code X on the electrical circuit diagram. The terminals of the fi xed connector are immediately accessible when the compartment door is open. Furthermore a terminal box identifi...
5.4. Conversion of the auxiliary contacts or of the signalling contacts (disconnected - test isolated - connected), from normally closed (opening) to normally open (closing) or vice versa The contacts are wired at the factory as shown on the electrical circuit diagram. If it is necessary to change their state for instal- lation requirements, proceed as follows.
Putting into service 6.1. General procedures - Check tightness of the power connections at the circuit-breaker terminals - Carry out all the preparatory operations on the release - Make sure that the value of the auxiliary circuit power supply voltage is between 85 and 110% of the rated voltage of the elec- trical applications - Make sure that there is an adequate air circulation in the place of installation to avoid overheating - Also carry out the checks specifi...

10. Accessories 10.1. Electrical accessories Shunt opening/closing (YO/YC) and second shunt opening release (Y02) This allows remote opening or closing control of the apparatus. Given the characteristics of the circuit-breaker operating mecha- nism, opening (with the circuit-breaker closed) is always possible, whereas closing is only possible when the closing springs are loaded.

Time delay device for undervoltage release (D) The undervoltage release can be combined with an electronic time-delay device for installing outside the circuit-breaker, which enables a delay in the tripping of the release with preset, adjustable times. The use of the delayed undervoltage release is rec- ommended when the power supply network of the release can be subject to power cuts or short-lived voltage drops, in order to avoid trips.

Auxiliary contacts Auxiliary contacts installed on the circuit-breaker are available to enable an indication of the circuit-breaker’s status. A special version of the auxiliary contacts is also available (gold plated contacts) for a rated voltage under 24 V (digital signal). In max In max cosφ...
10.2. Mechanical locks a-b) Lock in open position Different mechanisms are available which enable the circuit-breaker to be locked in the open position. These devices can be controlled by: - a key (a): a special circular lock with different keys (for a single circuit-breaker) or with the same keys (for several circuit-breakers). In the latter case, up to four different key code numbers are available.
For the change over, the customer can use a suitable electronic relay, whose diagram is supplied by ABB SACE. The mechanical interlocks between two or three circuit-breakers are made by means of cables that can be used for circuit-breakers installed, either side-by-side or one over the other.
11. Protection releases - General notes The ABB SACE Emax series of air circuit-breakers can be equipped with electronic relay PR121/P. The available accessories and functions are listed in the table below. Function/Unit PR121 Current protections (L, S, I, G)

- Ekip T&P, similarly to BT030-USB, can be used to power and communicate with the relay via a PC. It also allows units like PR010/T to be tested, again via a PC. Communication with ABB SACE devices is facilitated by the Ekip Connect SW supplied with BT030-USB and Ekip T&P modules, or available from the Internet website.
fl ow, or in the open circuit-breaker condition) and adds to the accessory functions of the relay allowing HMI030 and Flex Interface external devices to be used. To improve the supply condition, ABB recommends use of the auxiliary supply source when there are low load current values and/or distorted signals.
12.3. User interface The graphic interface of relay PR121/P allows the protections and general state of the relay itself to be adjusted and displayed. Rifer.

There are 2 to 4 red leds for checking the state of the protections: the number of leds depends on the way the relay has been confi gured and on the protections installed. The led of protection L can also come on in the orange colour, thereby providing further information. All the led combinations and the corresponding information are given in the table below.
- when the unit is off, it allows the last event recorded by the relay to be checked (when pressed for about 1 second). The function is available for 48 hours after the relay has been switched off (absence of internal or external poser supply). - with the unit powered by PR030/B alone and with the CB off, it allows the relay to be installed in the CB (see sect.
