BE FREE UP TO 630 A.

ry to think of an installation which needs 630 A. Have you done that? Now think of sizing it, selecting the apparatus, the accessories and of installing it. Right? Now imagine being free to choose and free to work with much less, yes really much less difficulty. Are you there? If youve managed to imagine this, youre ready to enter a new generation. Youre about to enter Tmax - the T Generation.

A NEW FREEDOM UP TO 630 A.

The new ABB SACE moulded-case circuit-breakers are called Tmax T4 and T5 and provide the performances youve always wanted. High breaking capacity, Ics at 100% of Icu, high limitation of specific let-through energy performances which you were unable to find until today in circuit-breakers of these dimensions. Designed up from the beginning to work together, they also offer you a complete series of thermomagnetic, magnetic only and electronic protection releases, which are all interchangeable, as well as a new range of accessories, among which are brand new residual current releases up to 630 A and the just as new stored energy motor operator. The new Tmax T4 and T5 are moulded-case circuit-breakers with the best performance/dimension ratios to be found on the market, so can you imagine how much more space there is for cabling and how easily you can carry it out, and, still further, the reduction in the switchgear dimension. But youll also find true allies for your job in the terminals and accessories, with new, complete and standardised ranges. Today with Tmax youre even more free to choose: T1, T2, T3 up to 250A, and T4 and T5 up to 630 A. Being free has never been so easy.

BE FREE TO RIDE THE MOST ADVANCED

he Tmax circuit-breakers have been designed profiting by the experience which, for dozens of years,

has made ABB SACE recognised worldwide as a leader in constructing low voltage circuit-breakers. It wasnt easy to find the solutions which make it possible for the new Tmax T4 and T5 to achieve such high performances in such limited dimensions. A high breaking capacity - Ics at 100% of Icu, and high limitation of specific let-through energy, express the high technological level reached by these two new pieces of apparatus. Thanks to latest generation electronics, T4 and T5 are born fitted with brand new electronic protection releases with more functions, an integrated dialogue unit, a dedicated residual current release now up to 630 A and, for the first time, the exclusive B type residual current release, sensitive to residual continuous and up 1000 Hz fault currents. Today more than yesterday, each installation, no matter what its type, has all the protection it needs. Being free means this as well.

BE FREE TO CHOOSE OPTIMAL SIZING.

ore performance in less space. More applications, up to 630 A, with just two sizes. Easier selection of

the apparatus and the accessories. Optimal sizing of the installation and better protection of cables, busbar ducts and supports. Less space needed in the metal structures. Less oversizing, i.e. lower costs. Less time for coordination of installations. Fewer warehouse complications. All the solutions needed can be selected with Tmax T4 and T5, even that of feeling more free to choose.

TMAX. BE FREE.

BE FREE TO DRIBBLE ROUND ALL INSTALLATI

aving apparatus available with smaller dimensions than all the others on the market, undoubtedly

offers great advantages. More space for cabling operations, simpler installation, more compact and standardised switchgear compartments. Surely it isnt necessary to explain how much time you will save? The new Tmax T4 and T5 then continue down the road taken by the first three sizes of the family - T1, T2 and T3: they, too, offer a complete range of terminals for all installation requirements, and unified and standardised accessories. Can you imagine circuit-breakers with reduced dimensions with ample and optimised terminal slots? Can you imagine the freedom of selecting the protection releases even with work under way? Have you any idea of the reduction in stock provided by having standardised accessories? Being free also means having much more time for yourself.

TMAX. BE FREE.

ON DIFFICULTIES.

THE HIGHEST BREAKING CAPACITIES. The new Tmax T4 and T5 can be used in any application, even the more unusual ones, thanks to their really exceptional performances. Icu up to 200 kA at 415V, Ics = 100% of Icu, high breaking capacities at 690V (80 kA), too, for the standard range, as well as high Icu values for the range at 1000 V in direct current and in alternating current, make T4 and T5 the ideal circuitbreakers for all requirements. JUST TWO SIZES UP TO 630 A. ABB SACE introduces two sizes: Tmax T4 up to 320 A and Tmax T5 up to 630 A. All of these have really high rated current/volume ratios and are made of top quality materials using innovative construction techniques which guarantee the same performances for all their versions: fixed, plug-in and withdrawable.

TMAX T4 AND T5. ONLY THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CAN ACHIEVE SUCH HIGH PERFORMANCE.
LATEST GENERATION ELECTRONICS. The technology is of the latest generation: the electronic PR221DS and PR222DS/P protection releases for distribution and the PR222MP motor protection release are brand new. The dialogue unit incorporated in the PR222DS/PD release is also absolutely new, and the dialogue function is added to its high protection performances. Furthermore, the basic versions of the releases have been enriched with more functions. And then what about the accessories for the electronic releases? The front display for showing current is one of the innovations along with auxiliary contacts in electronic version, which communicate directly with the electronic release.

RESIDUAL CURRENT PROTECTION NOW REACHES 630 A. The new Tmax T4 and T5 residual current release offers a complete protection solution for both installations and people for all types of installation and is very simple to use and install. In fact, residual current releases up to 630 A are available for all the fixed and plug-in versions. Moreover, only ABB makes the RC 223 (type B) residual current release, sensitive to residual continuous and up to 1000 Hz fault currents, available for the market: a most important innovation, and further witness to the high quality and technological standard achieved by ABB SACE circuit-breakers.

HIGH LIMITATION With the new Tmax T4 and T5, high limitation of both the specific let-through energy and the short-circuit peak current is obtained, thereby truly making it possible to size the installation in the best possible way and obtain better cable, busbar duct and relative support protection, as well as that of all the coordinated apparatus on the load side. High values are also obtained for back-up, particularly useful for sizing the final parts of the installation.

MOTOR PROTECTION, FREEDOM OF CHOICE. With Tmax T4 and T5, the best solution for motor protection up to 250 kW at 400 V AC can be selected. Alongside the traditional solution, which uses a circuitbreaker with magnetic only release, contactor and external thermal relay, you can now find an integrated solution, with the circuit-breaker fitted with the new PR222MP protection release and a contactor. The PR222MP release is fitted with all the protection functions, among which are protection U against phase unbalance and protection R against rotor block. Freedom of choice is not only provided by the protection release. Freedom of choice is also yours thanks to the high limitation of Tmax T4 and T5, which allows optimal sizing of the coordinated apparatus on the load side (contactor and thermal relay when present) as well as the power supply cables.

TMAX T4 AND T5. ABSOLUTE VERSATILITY FOR OPTIMAL SIZING.

SELECTIVITY. For circuit-breakers with rated currents up to 630 A it is important to reach high selectivity values and Tmax T4 and T5 guarantee these high performances. Being free to count on high selectivity values simplifies selection of the circuit-breaker during the design of the installation, and facilitates optimal sizing of all the apparatus.

ALL THE PROTECTION RELEASES. Tmax T4 and T5 have a wide range of both thermomagnetic and electronic protection releases for all applications, even the most unusual ones. Along with the traditional thermomagnetic releases, there are also generator protection releases and magnetic only ones recommended for motor protection. The new generation of electronic releases has many new functions even in the basic version. Setting the neutral protection to 50% or 100%, an LED for signalling pre-alarm and alarm for the protection against overload, are just some of the innovation within the new protection releases. The wide and fine setting range of the protection thresholds are, furthermore, a guarantee of great flexibility of use and optimal protection in any installation.

INCREASINGLY COMPACT DIMENSIONS. The new Tmax T4 and T5 have the same height and depth, which facilitates positioning them in switchgear compartments and makes it possible to build increasingly compact and standardised units. And thats not all: the limited dimensions allow greater access to the terminals, and make all the connection and cabling operations more convenient. Available in all versions - fixed, plug-in and withdrawable - and provided with a conversion kit from fixed to plug-in/ withdrawable, T4 and T5 are suited to constructing any installation solution. Selection flexibility is guaranteed.

INTERCHANGEABLE PROTECTION RELEASES. AT ALL TIMES. Thanks to ABB SACEs design and construction capacity, on the new Tmax T4 and T5, the protection releases of any type - magnetic only, thermomagnetic or electronic - can be replaced in complete safety. The advantages? Interchangeability of the releases which therefore means terrific versatility.

UNIFIED ACCESSORIES. As with Tmax T1, T2, and T3, the new Tmax T4 and T5 have a complete, standardised and unified range of electrical and mechanical accessories, which makes selection easier, provides flexibility of use and reduces stock. With Tmax you can select accessories with your eyes shut.

TMAX T4 AND T5. ALL THE BENEFITS OF FLEXIBILITY AND SIMPLE INSTALLATION.
CONVENIENTLY ACCESSIBLE CONNECTION TERMINALS. The terminal slots of the T4 and T5 circuit-breakers are ample and optimised for all types of connection: cables, busbars and cable lugs. A complete range of connection terminals makes it possible to select those most suited to the installation to be built. Standard front (F), front extended (EF), front extended spread (ES); front for copper cables (FC Cu), for copper-aluminium cables (FC CuAl) and multi-cable (MC) terminals, as well as rear terminals (R), make all configurations possible. With T4 and T5 you can build the exact switchgear you had in mind.

T1, T2, T3, T4 AND T5. THE TMAX PROJECT. Thats right: with the arrival of Tmax T4 and T5, designing and building an installation up to 630 A has never been so simple. All the Tmax apparatus starts out life distinguished by very high construction quality, recognised over the years for all ABB SACE products. The whole Tmax project, from T1 to T5, has basic characteristics common to all the apparatus, such as double insulation, the possibility of use in heavy-duty environments, and a complete set of international certifications. There are two depths up to 630 A: 70 mm for T1, T2 and T3, 103.5 mm for T4 and T5. Quality means this as well.

The Tmax T4 and T5 circuitbreakers have obtained the prestigious INTEL Design 2003 Augusto Morello award in the Product Technologies and Production processes section.

INDUSTRIALIT. BORN TO INTEGRATE. IndustrialIT is the solution developed by ABB to integrate the company activities at all levels, collecting together automation and control systems, installation running and production processes, design, marketing and sales, as well as the financial and administrative activities, under a single management system (AIP: Aspect Integrator Platform). The products and technologies are certified according to the IndustrialIT standard and grouped into about thirty functional categories. As well as interaction between certified products, each certified product ensures easy traceability of all the information useful for its operation - technical characteristics, instructions for installation, use and maintenance, environmental certificates and declarations, updated to the latest version a great advantage for the user. The whole range of Tmax moulded-case circuit-breakers, together with Isomax and the Emax air circuit-breakers, is IndustrialIT enabled and is part of the suite of ProtectIT products apparatus for protection of installations and people. Morover, T4 and T5 will feature e-plug communication interface which will allow integration to IndustrialIT systems.

TMAX MOULDED-CASE CIRCUIT-BREAKERS. AN INCREASINGLY WIDE CHOICE.

Today you have a family of circuit-breakers available for various different fields of application. A power distribution range for the protection of installations in direct and alternating current, transformer and capacitor protection and a generator protection range; a motor protection range for protecting asynchronous motors up to 250 kW by means of circuit-breakers with currents up to 400 A. And then, a range of circuit-breakers for protecting installations up to 1000V in direct and alternating current for applications such as road or railways tunnels, traction or mines. And finally, the switch-disconnectors derived from the corresponding circuit-breakers. Thats really great freedom of choice, isnt it?
