4 - Description
Description of circuit-breaker The Emax E2.2, E4.2 and E6.2 circuit-breakers consist of a steel structure in which the operating mechanism,
the poles and the auxiliary parts are located.
Each pole, isolated from the others, contains the breaking parts and the current transformer in its phase.
The structure of the poles differs between selective circuit-breaker or limiter.
The circuit-breaker is available in two types:
fixed version
withdrawable
The circuit-breaker in fixed version (see Figure 18) has its own terminals for connection to the power circuit.
The withdrawable circuit breaker consists of a mobile part (see Figure 19) and of a fixed part (see Figure 20
for IEC and Figure 21 for UL) for connection through its own terminals to the power circuit.
The coupling between the mobile part and the fixed part is via disconnection contacts mounted on the fixed
part.

IMPORTANT: the figure above refers to a an Ekip DIP, LSIG version. In the case of
Ekip Dip LI or LSI versions, LEDs and dip-switches related only to the protections
present are available.
LED The LEDs are useful on Ekip Dip in order to distinguish and identify various types of information on the
protection release, the circuit-breaker and state of the line currents.
Operational conditions
The operation of the LED is determined by the power supply conditions of the release:
With the release energized (by current sensors or by auxiliary power supply or by Ekip TT or by Ekip T&P
or by Ekip Bluetooth) the LEDs are operational for all the signals.
With the release de-energized, the LEDs are limited to the signalling of the last switch-off or trip event
(combined with the check via iTest, described below).
NOTE: with the release off, the operation of the LEDs is guaranteed if the internal battery of
the release is working properly.
About
The LEDs combined with the protections provide various information, with different combinations of lighting
and blinking.
NOTE: all the combinations related to protection LED signals are described in chapter Selfdiagnosis and signalling , on page 47.
The power led provides information about the power status of the protection release:
LED on (default configuration) fixed or blinking, signals release energized.
LED off signals release de-energized.
NOTE: with Ekip T&P and Ekip Bluetooth modules and Ekip Connect software, it is possible
to configure how the power led functions (LED fixed or blinking).
Protections: thresholds The thresholds of all the protections can be modified with various dip-switches, as specified on the serigraph
of the interface.
The values of the protections make reference to the current In, a nominal value of the release defined by the
Rating Plug.
IMPORTANT:
Modification of the thresholds must be performed in the absence of protection alarms.
Modifications carried out in alarm conditions are accepted by the release when resting
condition is restored (absence of protection alarms).
Protections: times The times and the curves of the protections can be modified with various dip-switches, as specified on the
serigraph of the interface.
IMPORTANT:
Modification of the times must be performed in the absence of protection alarms.
Modifications carried out in alarm conditions are accepted by the release when resting
condition is restored (absence of protection alarms).
Settings Two further settings are available:
Neutral allows activation and adjustment of the protections on the neutral pole.
Frequency allows the selection of the installation frequency.
2 - Protections
L Protection The protection L protects against overloads
I1
NOTE: the protection is available and active for all the versions of the release.
When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips in a time that decreases as the current read
increases.
t1
Parameters
All the parameters that can be modified by the user affect the response curve, and related tripping times.
Parameter
Description
The value I1 contributes in calculating the tripping time, and also defines the current
value that, if exceeded, activates the protection (in reference to the curve, it is the
part parallel to the ordinate).
Threshold I1
IMPORTANT:
The protection is activated and starts timing for currents between
1.05 and 1.2 of the threshold I1 set (1).
The delay is interrupted if the current drops below the activation
threshold.
The value t1 contributes in calculating the tripping time (in reference to the curve, T1
affects the entire curve shifting it as a whole along the vertical axis).
Time t1
IMPORTANT:
The protection limits the tripping time to 1 second in two cases:
if according to the calculation the time is less than 1 second.
If the fault current is greater than 12 In.
Example (with I1 set to 400 A): the protection is activated for currents read between 420 A
and 480 A.
(1)
With the modules Ekip T&P or Ekip Bluetooth and with the Ekip Connect software, it is possible to activate
the function Thermal Memory, and adjust the threshold of Prealarm. See page 43.
NOTE: the protection is available for LSI and LSIG versions of the release.
I2
When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips within a fixed or dynamic time (the time
decreases as the current read increases).
t2
Parameters
All the parameters that can be modified by the user affect the response curve, and related tripping times.
Parameter
Enable
Description
By setting the threshold dip-switches to the Off position, the protection is disabled.
Determines the dynamic of the curve and the tripping time, fixed or dynamic according to the selection:
Type of curve
NOTE: calculation of the tripping time of the inverse time curve is based on a
mathematical expression. The details provided in the table on page 44.
It defines the current value that if exceeded activates the protection (in reference to
the curve, it is the part parallel to the ordinate).
Threshold I2
Time t2
IMPORTANT:
The I2 threshold set must be higher than the I1 threshold. An incorrect configuration returns an alarm signal.
The delay is interrupted if the current drops below the activation
threshold.
The selected function determines the contribution of t2:
Fixed time: t2 is the delay time between exceeding the I2 threshold and sending
the opening command.
Dynamic time: t2 contributes in calculating the tripping time (in reference to the
curve, t2 affects the entire curve, shifting it as a whole along the vertical axis).
IMPORTANT:
The minimum tripping time of the protection is t2. If, according to
the calculation, the tripping time is less, it is automatically limited to t2.
For all the UL versions, the maximum time allowed by the release is
0.4 s. If a higher value is set, the release signals the error and forces the
parameter to 0.4 s.
With the modules Ekip T&P or Ekip Bluetooth and with the Ekip Connect software, it is possible to activate
the function Thermal Memory. See page 43.
When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips within a fixed non-adjustable time.
I3
Parameters
The user can set the intervention threshold.
t3
Parameter
Enable
Description
By setting the threshold dip-switches to the Off position, the protection is disabled.
It defines the current value that if exceeded activates the protection (in reference to
the curve, it is the part parallel to the ordinate).
Threshold I3
IMPORTANT: The I3 threshold set must be higher than the I2 threshold. An incorrect configuration returns an alarm signal.
I4
NOTE: the protection is available for the LSIG version of the release.
When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips within a fixed or dynamic time (the time
decreases as the current read increases).
t4
Parameters
All the parameters that can be modified by the user affect the response curve, and related tripping times.
Parameter
Enable
Description
By setting the dip-switches of the threshold in one of the available combinations
other than Off, the protection is enabled.
If enabled, the protection is inhibited automatically by the release in two conditions:
Disconnection of one or more current sensors.
Current measured on one of the phases is higher than a maximum value.
IMPORTANT: the maximum current value that deactivates protection G
varies according to the threshold set:
8 In (with I4 0.8 In)
6 In (with 0.5 In I4 < 0.8 In)
4 In (with 0.2 In I4 < 0.5 In)
2 In (with I4 < 0.2 In)
Determines the dynamic of the curve and the tripping time, fixed or dynamic according to the selection:
Type of curve
NOTE: calculation of the tripping time of the inverse time curve is based on a
mathematical expression. The details are provided in the table on page 44.
It defines the current value that if exceeded activates the protection (in reference to
the curve, it is the part parallel to the ordinate).
Threshold I4
Time t3
IMPORTANT:
The delay is interrupted if the current drops below the tripping
threshold.
For all the UL versions the maximum threshold allowed by the release is 1200 A. If a higher value is set, the release signals the error and
forces the parameter to 1200 A.
The selected function determines the contribution of t4:
Fixed time: t4 is the delay time between the exceeding of the I4 threshold and the
sending of the opening command.
Dynamic time: t4 contributes in calculating the tripping time (in reference to the
curve, t4 affects the entire curve, shifting it as a whole along the vertical axis).
IMPORTANT:
The minimum tripping time of the protection is t4. If, according to
the calculation, the tripping time is less, it is automatically limited to t4.
For all the UL versions, the maximum time allowed by the release is
0.4s. If a higher value is set, the release signals the error and forces the
parameter to 0.4 s.
Neutral and frequency Adjusting the neutral setting serves to characterize the protections L, S and I on the Neutral pole with a
control factor different to the other phases.
NOTE: use the adjustment of the neutral setting only with four-pole or three-pole circuitbreakers with external neutral: with three-pole circuit-breakers and neutral protection active,
the release signals the absence of the current sensor.
The adjustment of the frequency is used in order to set the installation frequency (between 50 and 60 Hz).
Neutral parameters
The user can activate the protection and set the percentage for calculation of the protection thresholds.
Parameter
Enable
Threshold InN
Description
By setting the threshold dip-switches to the Off position, the protection on the Neutral is disabled.
Represented as a percentage; it defines the multiplication factor of the neutral current, for calculating the intervention threshold of the protections:
50%: lowest tripping threshold (in reference to the curves of the protections, the
neutral current is considered double the real one).
100%: tripping threshold equal to the other phases.
200%: highest tripping threshold (in reference to the curves of the protections, the
neutral current is considered double the real one).
Limitations
The adjustment of the Neutral threshold to value of 200 % must be performed considering the following
formula: (I1 * InN) Iu.
I1 indicates the threshold of protection L in Amperes (example: 600 A), InN is the neutral threshold expressed
as a multiplication factor (example: 1.5), Iu indicates the size of the circuit-breaker (example: 1000 A).
Additional protections The Ekip T&P and Ekip Bluetooth modules, and the Ekip Connect software, allow you to set some protections
not available via dip-switch:
Thermal Memory.
Protection T.
Prealarm threshold.
Hardware Trip.
Thermal Memory
This function, available for protections L and S, reduces the tripping time of the protection based on the time
elapsed between multiple trips caused by heating of the cables.
IMPORTANT: for the protection S the function can be activated if the selected curve
is time-dependent.
Protection T
The protection T protects the circuit-breaker against abnormal temperatures recorded by the protection
release.
The protection T is always active; via Ekip Connect it is possible to enable tripping, which takes place for
temperatures t < -25 C or t > 85 C.
Prealarm L
The prealarm L notifies that the current measured is close to the activation threshold of the protection L.
The prealarm threshold is expressed as a percentage value of the I1 threshold, and is adjustable between
40% and 90% (default value).
Example: with I1 = 0.6 In and prealarm threshold = 50%, the prealarm is activated for currents greater than
0.3 In
The prealarm state is activated for currents higher than the threshold set, and is deactivated for:
Current less than the prealarm threshold.
Current greater than the activation threshold of protection L.
Hardware Trip
The Hardware Trip protection protects against internal disconnections of the circuit-breaker. Via Ekip Connect
it is possible to enable the trip command, which is sent if one or more of the following events is detected:
Current sensors disconnected (internal or external if enabled).
Rating Plug disconnected.
Trip Coil disconnected.
Internal problems with the protection release.
IMPORTANT: the protection trips if the error conditions persist more than 1 second.

NOTE: the precisions specified in the table refer to the range of normal operation
Maximum and minimum The release is able to record the maximum and minimum current, measured inside an interval that can be
currents programmed by the user.
Every measurement recorded is accompanied by the following information:
Recording interval.
Phase and value of maximum and minimum current measured.
Date and time of the recording (referring to the internal clock).
NOTE: in the case of the minimum current, if the value drops below the 0.03 In threshold, it
will be recorded and represented by the symbol in the measurement field.
Trips The release is able to record the last 30 openings of the circuit-breaker caused by protection trips.
The trips include useful information relating to each trip:
The protection that caused the trip.
The progressive number of the opening.
The date and time of the opening (referring to the internal clock).
The measurements associated to the trip protection.
Contact wear Contact wear indicates the state of deterioration of the main contacts of the circuit-breaker.
The value is expressed as a percentage, and is 0 % in the case of no wear, and 100 % in the case of total
wear.
It is calculated automatically by the release at every opening for protection or, in the presence of an auxiliary
power supply, also at every manual opening of the circuit-breaker.
Number of operations In the presence of auxiliary power, the release records a series information relating to openings of the circuitbreaker:
Number of manual operations.
Total number of operations (manual + trips).

Ekip Signalling 10K modules The Ekip Signalling 10K is an external signalling accessory module that can be installed on a DIN rail.
It can be installed in the presence of Ekip Dip, Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch, and G Hi-Touch releases. It must
be powered independently from the releases to which it is connected, and can be powered in AC at nominal
110...240 V AC, or in DC at nominal 24...48 V DC.
On the front it has:
10 contacts for output signals.
10 or 11 digital inputs.
A power LED, and 20 or 21 signalling LEDs (one for each output/input).
It can communicate with the outside in two alternative modes:
Via Local Bus, with a single release equipped with an Ekip Supply module (see page 62).
Via Link Bus, with a maximum of four releases, each equipped with an Ekip Link module (see page 64).
IMPORTANT: the module can be connected only to internal Ethernet networks with
one or more switchboards, to which releases or ABB Emax 2 accessories are
connected. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all the necessary safety
measures are adopted for all the connected devices (for example, the necessary
access authorisations, and so on). The module cannot be connected to other Ethernet
networks (for example, with the purpose of monitoring the system, or the office), or
to the Internet.
With communication via Local Bus, unless the release is disconnected, the closing/opening of the contacts
of the module is commanded by the release, and the information on the state of the inputs is transmitted by
the module to the release. In particular, the trip unit can be programmed so that:
The closing/opening of a contact corresponds to a desired event or combination of events detected by
the trip unit.
The activation of an input corresponds to an action by the trip unit.
With multiple 10-K modules connected via Local Bus to the same trip unit, these can be at most three, and
must be configured differently as a 10K-1 a 10K-2 and a 10K-3.
With communication via Link Bus:
The module is connected to a network on which the releases equipped with an Ekip Link module share
data packets containing information on their state.
The IP Addresses of the releases to which you wish to connect it must be inserted on the module, and each
contact can be programmed so as to be closed/opened in correspondence to an event or combination
of events regarding a connected release.
If the module receives a packet sent by a trip unit connected, the module reads the contents of the packet,
and initiates any programmed action.
Further information on Ekip Signalling 10K is available from the web site http://www.abb.com/abblibrary/
DownloadCenter/, in particular in the manual 1SDH001318R0002.
Ekip Multimeter module The Ekip Multimeter is a remote viewing unit on the front of the switchgear and is equipped with a touchscreen
display.
It can be installed in the presence of Ekip Dip, Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch and G Hi-Touch releases, with which
it communicates via Local Bus. It must be powered independently from the release to which it is connected,
and can be powered in AC at nominal 110 240 V AC, or DC at nominal 24...48 V DC.
The Ekip Multimeter is a remote viewing unit on the front of the switchgear and is equipped with a touchscreen
display.
It can be installed in the presence of Ekip Dip, Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch and G Hi-Touch releases, with which
it communicates via Local Bus. It must be powered independently from the release to which it is connected,
and can be powered in AC at nominal 110 240 V AC, or DC at nominal 24...48 V DC.
One release can communicate with a maximum of four Ekip Multimeters. On the other hand, the module can
be connected to only one release.
In addition, the module makes an auxiliary voltage of 24 V DC available, which can be used to power the
release. If the release is powered through Ekip Multimeter, the power supply must be applied directly on the
terminal box of the circuit-breaker: in fact the Ekip Multimeter is sized in order to supply only the release, and
therefore it is not able to supply sufficient power to supply an Ekip Supply module and any other electronic
accessories connected to the terminal box.
In the case of connection to an Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G-Touch, and G Hi-Touch release, as well as displaying
the measurements, the module also allows you to set parameters and the protection thresholds.
Further information on Ekip Multimeter is available from the web site http://www.abb.com/abblibrary/
DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheet 1SDH001000R0520.
Contacts Ekip AUP The communication modules are always supplied with dedicated Ekip AUP auxiliary position contacts, which
in the case of a withdrawable circuit-breaker supply the inserted/extracted signal of the moving part from the
fixed part.
The assembly assures that the position signalling is also maintained with the moving part withdrawn.
Further information on assembling Ekip AUP modules and contacts is available from the web site http://www.
abb.com/abblibrary/DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheet 1SDH001000R0603.
Ekip RTC contact The communication modules are always supplied with an Ekip RTC auxiliary contact, which supplies the
release with the signal indicating that the circuit-breaker ready to receive a close command.
Further information on the assembly of the Ekip RTC contact is available from the web site http://www.abb.
com/abblibrary/DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheet 1SDH001000R0604.

Inspection of electrical and Check the accessories:
mechanical accessories
1. Check that the accessories are securely fixed to the circuit-breaker.
2. Check that the accessories are connected correctly to the circuit-breaker.
3. Make sure that the coils (YU-YO-YC) are in good condition (no excessive wear and tear, overheating,
rupture).
4. Make sure that the mechanical operation counter functions correctly (if present) by operating the
circuit-breaker.
5. Check the wear on the brushes of the gearmotor and if necessary replace them.
NOTE: You are recommended to change the gearmotor if it has performed more than 10000
spring loading operations.
Check for wear on the contacts With the circuit-breaker open and springs discharged:
1. Remove the arc chutes

2. Check the condition of the arc-breaking chutes: the base of the chute must be undamaged and the
plates must be neither corroded nor indented.
3. Remove the dust with compressed air, then clean off all traces of fumes and slag with a brush.
4. Make sure that the contacts are in good condition.
5. Visually check to make sure that the main and arc-breaking plates are in place.
6. Check for tarnishing or beading. If such defects are discovered, ask for assistance from a qualified
ABB Technician (*).
7. Check the arc-breaking gaps (distance A).
