Structure of the circuit-breakers
The sheet steel structure of the circuit-breaker is extremely com-

pact, considerably reducing overall dimensions.
Safety is improved by adopting double insulation for the live
parts and total segregation between phases.
The sizes have the same height and depth for all of the circuit-
breakers in each version.
The depth of the withdrawable version is suitable for installation
1 of switchboards 500 mm deep.
The width of 324 mm (up to 2000 A) in the withdrawable version
allows the equipment to be used in switchboard compartments
400 mm wide. The compact dimensions also allow them to re-
place air circuit breakers of any size from earlier series.
1SDC200017F0001

Operating mechanism
The operating mechanism is of the stored energy type, oper-

ated using pre-charged springs.
The springs are charged manually by operating the front lever
or using a gearmotor, supplied on request.
The opening springs are charged automatically during the clos-
ing operation.
With the operating mechanism fitted with shunt closing and
opening releases and the gearmotor for charging the springs, 1
the circuit-breaker can be operated by remote control and, if
required, co-ordinated by a supervision and control system.

The following operating cycles are possible without recharging
the springs:
starting with the circuit-breaker open (0) and the springs
charged :

The same operating mechanism is used for the entire series
and is fitted with a mechanical and electrical anti-pumping
device.

Utilization category
Selective and current-limiting circuit-breakers

Selective (non current-limiting) circuit-breakers are classified
in class B (according to IEC 60947-2 Standard). It is important
1
to know their Icw values in relation to any possible delayed op-
erations in the event of short-circuits.
The current-limiting circuit-breakers E2L and E3L belong to

class A. The short-term current Icw is not very important for
these circuit-breakers, and is necessarily low due to the operat-
ing principle on which they are based. The fact that they belong
to class A does not preclude the possibility of obtaining the
necessary selectivity (e.g. current-type or time-type selectivity)
within the Icw rated short-time withstand current thresholds.
The special advantages of current-limiting circuit-breakers are
also worthy of emphasis. Indeed, they make it possible to:
significantly reduce the peak current in relation to the pro-
spective value;
drastically limit specific let-through energy.
The resultant benefits include:

reduced electrodynamic stresses;
reduced thermal stresses;
savings on the sizing of cables and busbars;
the possibility of coordinating with other circuit-breakers in
the series for back-up or discrimination.

Versions and connections
All circuit-breakers are available in fixed and withdrawable, three-

pole or four-pole versions.
Each series of circuit-breakers offers terminals made of silver-
plated copper bars in the same sizes, regardless of the rated
currents of the circuit-breakers.
The fixed parts for withdrawable circuit-breakers are common
to each model, regardless of the rated current and breaking
capacity. 1
A version with gold-plated terminals is available for circuit break-
ers that must be used in corrosive environments.
The availability of various types of terminals makes it possible
to build wall-mounted switchboards, or switchboards to be
accessed from behind with rear connections.
For special installation needs, the circuit-breakers may be fit-
ted with various combinations of upper and lower terminals.

General specifications
The overcurrent protection for AC installations uses three types of microprocessor-based re-
leases in the SACE PR111, PR112 and PR113 series, which can be installed as alternatives to
one another on SACE Emax circuit-breakers:
SACE PR111 with protection functions only
SACE PR112 with protection, current measurement and dialogue functions
SACE PR113 with a complete set of functions for protection, measurement, signalling, control
and dialogue.
1 The protection systems can be three-phase or three-phase with neutral depending on the type of
circuit-breaker used (three-pole, three-pole with external neutral or four-pole).
The protection system is made up of:
3 or 4 current transformers (CT) depending on the number of circuit-breaker poles; the fourth
CT may be external
a protection unit selected from among SACE PR111/P, SACE PR112/P and SACE PR113/P, or
a protection and communication unit selected from among SACE PR112/PD with LON® or
Modbus® protocol and SACE PR113/PD with Modbus® protocol

Automatic circuit-breakers with full-size neutral
conductor
The Emax range of automatic circuit-breakers with full-size neutral conductor is used in special
applications where the presence of triple-N harmonics on individual phases may lead to a very
high current on the neutral conductor.
Typical applications include installations with loads having high harmonics distortion (comput-
1SDC200058F0001
ers and electronic devices in general), lighting systems with a large number of fluorescent
lamps, systems with inverters and rectifiers, UPS, systems for adjusting the speed of electric
motors.
This range includes standard circuit-breakers with full-size neutral conductor in sizes E1, E2,
E3. Models E4 and E6 are available in the Full size version up to rated currents of 6300A.
Models E4/f and E6/f are available in fixed and withdrawable four-pole versions. These models
may be fitted with all accessories available for the Emax range; the exception, on the E6/f model,
are the mechanical interlocks made using flexible wires and 15 external auxiliary contacts,
which are therefore incompatible.
2 All the models may be fitted with all available versions of electronic protection relays, in the
standard version.

Switch-disconnectors for applications
up to 1000V DC
ABB SACE has developed the SACE Emax/E MS range of switch-disconnectors for applications
in direct current up to 1000V in compliance with international standard IEC60947-3. These non-
automatic circuit-breakers are especially suitable for use as busbar links or main isolators in
direct current systems, such as for applications involving electric traction.
1SDC200061F0001
The range covers all installation needs up to 1000V DC / 3200A or up to 750V DC/ 4000A.
They are available in fixed and withdrawable versions, three-pole and four-pole.
By connecting three breaking poles in series, it is possible to achieve a rated insulation voltage
of 750V DC, while with four poles in series the limit rises to 1000V DC.
The switch-disconnectors of the SACE Emax/E MS range maintain the overall dimensions and
fastening points of the standard range circuit-breakers. They may be fitted with the various
terminal kits and all accessories common to the SACE Emax range. They may obviously not be
associated with the electronic releases, CT and with the current detection and protection acces-
sories for AC applications.

Modular design
The circuit-breakers in the SACE Emax series have been built

to modular design criteria for easier installation and integration
in Low Voltage electrical switchboards, giving them the same
depth and height for every model while simultaneously achiev-
ing a significant reduction in their overall installation dimen-
sions.
The front shield of the circuit-breaker is also identical for the
entire series. This simplifies the construction of the switchboard
doors since only one type of drilling is required and makes the
front of the switchboard the same for all sizes.
SACE Emax circuit-breakers are suitable for Power Center
switchboards and make it easy to comply with the segregation
requirements of the IEC 60439-1 standards.

Choosing the type of circuit breaker
Number of poles
The choice of the number of poles for circuit-breakers that si-
multaneously provide switching, protection and isolation func-
tions in three-phase installations depends on the type of elec-
trical system (TT, TN-S, TN-C, IT) and the type of user or, more
generally, whether it features a distributed or non-distributed
neutral.

Fixed or withdrawable version

The fixed version of the circuit-breaker is more compact in size
than the withdrawable version. It is recommended for installa-
tions that can tolerate service interruptions in the event of faults
or routine maintenance.
The withdrawable version of the circuit-breaker is recommended
for:
applications that can only tolerate brief interruptions due to
faults or routine maintenance:
dual lines, one of which is a standby for the other, with a
single circuit-breaker for each pair.

Choosing the type of circuit breaker
Connecting the main circuit-breaker

circuits
When designing switchboards, one must always bear in mind
the problem of making the most rational connections between
the circuit-breaker and main busbar system and the busbars to
the users. The SACE Emax series offers switchboard analysts
a range of options to satisfy different circuit-breaker connec-
tion requirements.
The figures alongside here show a number of indications for
terminal selection.

Protection degrees
A number of solutions have been adopted on SACE Emax cir-
cuit-breakers to achieve IP22 protection degree for fixed or with-
drawable circuit-breakers, not including their terminals, and IP30
for their front parts using a flange. Automatic shutters have been
designed for the fixed parts of withdrawable circuit-breakers
which can be locked using padlock devices to allow mainte-
nance of the load side or power-supply side of the fixed part.
A transparent protective cover is also available upon request,

Changing the rated uninterrupted current
in relation to temperature
Temperature derating
The circuit-breakers may operate at higher temperatures than

their reference temperature (40 °C) in certain installation condi-
tions. In these cases the current-carrying capacity of the
switchgear should be reduced.
The SACE Emax series of air circuit-breakers uses microproc-
essor-based electronic releases that offer the benefit of great
operating stability when subjected to temperature changes.
The tables below show the current-carrying capacities of the
circuit breakers (as absolute values and percentage values) in
relation to their rated values at T = 40 °C.

Derating in altitude
SACE Emax air circuit-breakers do not undergo any changes

in their rated performance up to an altitude of 2000 meters.
As the altitude increases the atmospheric properties alter in
terms of composition, dielectric capacity, cooling power and
pressure.
The performance of the circuit-breakers therefore undergoes
derating which can be measured through the variation in sig-
nificant parameters such as the maximum rated voltage of op-
eration and the rated uninterrupted current.
The table below shows the aforementioned values in relation to
altitude.

Current-limiting and specific let-through energy
curves for circuit-breakers E2L and E3L
The current-limiting capacity of an automatic current-limiting

circuit-breaker indicates its ability to let through or determine a
current lower than the prospective fault current in short-circuit
conditions. This characteristic is represented by two different
curves which indicate the following, respectively:
the value of the specific energy I2t (in A2s) let through by
the circuit-breaker in relation to the uninterrupted symmetri-
cal short-circuit current.
the peak value (in kA) of the limited current in relation to the
uninterrupted symmetrical short-circuit current.
The graph shown here sche-

matically indicates the pattern
of uninterrupted current, with
its established peak (curve B),
and the pattern of limited cur-
rent with a lower peak value
(curve A).

User interface
The user communicates with the release in the trip parameter preparation stage by means of the
dip switches.
Two LEDs are also available for alarm signalling (timing start) for the L and S functions respectively.
Setting the neutral

Protection of the neutral is available at 50% in the standard version or at 100% (version which
can be supplied on request for E1-E2-E3-E4/f and E6/f), of the phase currents.
Test Function
The Test function is carried out by means of the pocket-sized SACE TT1 Trip Test unit, fitted with
a two-pole polarized connector housed on the bottom of the box, which allows the device to be
connected to the test input sockets on the front of PR111/P releases.
A complete test of the PR111/P microprocessor-based electronic release can be carried out
using the special SACE PR010/T apparatus by applying it to the TEST connector.
All the release functions can be checked by means of this unit.

PR112/P
Characteristics
The SACE PR112 release is a sophisticated protection system
using microprocessor technology. It comprises the PR112/P pro-
tection unit and, on request, the PR112/PD protection and dia-
logue unit. In this case both versions are available: the PR112/PD
LON for the LON® communication protocol, and PR112/PD
Modbus for the Modbus® protocol.
The wide range of settings makes this protection unit ideal for
general use in any type of installation.
Consulting information and programming is extremely easy us-
ing a keyboard and alphanumeric liquid crystal display.
An ammeter function and many additional functions are pro-
vided over and above the protection functions. These additional
functions can be further increased with the addition of the dia-
logue and signalling unit.

Protection functions
The PR112 release offers the following protection functions:
overload (L)
selective short-circuit (S)
instantaneous short-circuit (I)
earth fault (G) (Residual or Source ground return: the latter via a toroid installed on the earth
connection of the main power supply)
self-protection against overtemperature (OT)
thermal memory for L and S functions
zone selectivity for functions S or G
Setting the neutral

The neutral protection is 50% of the value set for phase protection in the standard version. The
neutral protection may be set to 100% for E1, E2, E3, E4/f, E6/f.
Protection against overtemperature

The range of SACE PR112 releases allows the presence of abnormal temperatures, which could
cause temporary or continuous malfunctions of the microprocessor, to be signalled to the user.
The user has the following signals or commands available:
lighting up of the Warning LED when the temperature is higher than 70 °C (temperature at
which the microprocessor is still able to operate correctly)
lighting up of the Emergency LED when the temperature is higher than 85 °C (temperature
above which the microprocessor can no longer guarantee correct operation) and, when de-
cided during the unit configuration stage, simultaneous opening of the circuit-breaker with
4 change-over of the corresponding magnetic signal.
Zone selectivity for S or G

The zone selectivity function S or G may be activated or deactivated using the keyboard. Protec-
tion is provided by connecting together all of the zone selectivity outputs of the releases belong-
ing to the same zone, and bringing this signal to the zone selectivity input of the release just
upstream.
Phase umbalance U
Function U against phase umbalance simply emits a warning signal if an umbalance is detected
between two or more phases. This function may be disabled.
Microprocessor self-diagnosis
The PR112 range of releases contains an electronic circuit which checks operation of the micro-
processor of the protection unit in real time (an additional electronic circuit is provided for the
PR112/PD unit for checking the microprocessor of the dialogue unit).
In case of a temporary or continuous malfunction, the following two signals are activated:
lighting up of the LED mP Fault (if the 112/PD unit is present, the LED mP Communication
Fault also lights)
when there is auxiliary power supply, closure of the mP Fault contact.
4/10 ABB SACE

Test Functions
Once enabled from the control menu, the TEST pushbutton on the front of the release allows
correct operation of the chain consisting of the microprocessor, opening solenoid and circuit-
breaker to be checked.
The control menu also includes the option of testing correct operation of the display, indicator
LEDs, magnetic signals and electrical contacts supplied in all versions of the PR112 release.
By means of the front multi-pin connector it is possible to apply a SACE PR010/T Test unit, which
allows the functions of the PR111, PR112 and PR113 ranges of releases to be tested and checked.
User interface
The human-machine interface (HMI) of the device is made up of an alphanumeric display, LEDs,
pushbuttons and magnetic flags to signal the release trip causes.
A password system has been installed in this new version to manage Read or Edit modes.
The protection parameters (curves and trip thresholds) may be set directly via the devices HMI.
The parameters may be changed only when the release is operating in Edit mode, but the
information available and the parameter settings may be checked at any time in Read mode.
The language may be selected from among five available options: Italian, English, German,
French and Spanish.
Indicator LEDs
LEDs on the front panel of the release are used to indicate pre-alarms (WARNING) and alarms
(ALARM). A message on the display always explicitly indicates the type of event concerned.
Events indicated by the WARNING LED: 4
umbalance between phases;
pre-alarm for overload (L1>90%);
first temperature threshold exceeded (70 °C);
contact wear beyond 80%.
Events indicated by the EMERGENCY LED:
overload (may begin from 1.05xl1<I<1.3xl1 in accordance with the standard IEC 60947-2);
timing of function L;
timing of function S;
timing of function G;
second temperature threshold exceeded (85 °C);
contact wear 100%.
Other LEDs indicate, respectively:
µP Fault: indicates that the protection unit microprocessor has a temporary (briefly lit) or
permanent (steadily lit) fault
Vaux: indicates there is an auxiliary power supply
Electrical signalling contacts PR112
Three clean contacts provided on all versions of the PR112 release enable electrical signalling of
the following :

PR112/P
Resetting trip signals

The RESET pushbutton allows local resetting of the protection trip signals (relay tripped con-
tact and magnetic flags).
In the case of remote control, the resetting signal for the protection trip signals can be transmit-
ted by means of a dialogue unit (PR112/PD version) only for relay trip caused by excessive
temperature and by overload (L). Trip signals for the other functions (S, I and G) may only be
reset locally. When the signal is not reset, the dialogue unit is prevented from actuating the
circuit-breaker closing command.
Load control
The load control function takes place in combination with the PR020/K accessory unit. The func-
tion is active only when auxiliary power supply is present.
Alternatively, using two separate curves (with lower threshold currents and trip times than those
available for selection with protection L), the load-control function implements the following log-
ics:
disconnection of two separate loads,
connection and disconnection of a load.
These functions make it possible to engage/disengage individual downstream loads before the
overload protection L is tripped, thereby tripping the upstream circuit-breaker.
Measuring function
The current measuring function (ammeter) is present on all versions of the SACE PR112 unit.
The display shows the currents of the three phases, neutral and earth fault.
The latter current value takes on two different meanings depending on whether the external
4 toroidal transformer for the Source Ground Return function or the internal transformer (residual
type) is connected.
The ammeter can operate either with self-supply or with auxiliary power supply voltage.
Accuracy of the ammeter measurement chain (current transformer plus ammeter) is no more
than 5% in the current interval 30% - 120% of In.

PR113/P
Characteristics
The PR113 protection release completes the range of available
releases for the Emax family of circuit-breakers. It is available in
versions PR113/P, for the protection unit, and PR113/PD, fitted
with a dialogue unit.
It is a high-performance and extraordinarily versatile release
that can offer a complete set of functions for protection, meas-
urement, self-monitoring, signalling, data storage and control
of the circuit-breaker.
The front interface of the unit is extremely simple thanks to the
aid of the graphical liquid crystal display (LCD), which shows
diagrams, bar graphs, measurements and sine curves for the
various electrical values.
The PR113 release also offers other functions in addition to stand-
ard protections, such as protection against under- and
overvoltage, residual voltage protection, phase umbalance pro-
tection and protection from directional short-circuit (i.e., those
used for ring distribution networks).

Overload protection L
With the PR113 unit, the overload protection L includes the option to adjust the slope of the
protection curve. This adjustment allows perfect coordination with fuses or with medium-voltage
protection systems.
Directional short-circuit protection with adjustable delay D
The protection works in a similar way to the fixed-time protection S, with the added ability to
recognize the direction of the phases current during the fault period.
The current direction makes it possible to determine whether the fault is upstream or down-
stream of the circuit-breaker; particularly in ring distribution systems, this makes it possible to

Phase umbalance protection U
Protection function U, against phase umbalance, is used in those situations requiring especially
accurate control over missing and/or umbalanced phase currents. This function can be excluded.
Load control function K
There are two separate curves with threshold currents and trip times lower than those available
for selection with the protection L, which may be used for the two applications:
disconnection of two separate loads;
connection and disconnection of a load. 4
These functions make it possible to engage/disengage individual loads before the overload
protection L is tripped and definitively opens the circuit-breaker.
The load control may be activated directly through the programmable contacts, or using the load
control and signalling device PR020/K.
Voltage protections UV, OV, RV
The PR113 unit offers three types of voltage protection, which may be excluded:
undervoltage (UV),
overvoltage (OV),
residual voltage (RV).
The residual voltage protection RV identifies interruptions of the neutral (or of the earthing con-
ductor in systems with earthed neutral) and faults that shift the star center in systems with insu-
lated neutral (e.g., large earth faults). The star center shift is calculated as a vector sum of the
phase voltages.
With the circuit-breaker closed, these protections also operate when the release is self-powered.
With the circuit-breaker open they operate only when the auxiliary power supply is present: in
this case the release will indicate the ALARM status.

PR113/P
Reverse power protection RP

Reverse power protection is especially suited for protecting large machines such as engines
and generators. The PR113 unit can analyze the direction of the active power and open the
circuit-breaker if the direction is opposite to normal operation. The reverse power threshold and
the trip time are adjustable.
Setting the neutral

The neutral protection is normally set to a current value equivalent to 50% of the phase setting.
In installations where very high harmonics occur, the resulting current at the neutral may be
higher than that of the phases.
This protection may be set for the following values on the PR113 release:
I1N = 50% - 100% - 150% - 200% x I1
The table below lists the neutral settings for the various possible combinations between type of
circuit-breaker and the setting of threshold I1.

(*) The setting I1=1 indicates the maximum overload protection setting. The actual maximum allowable setting must take into account any
derating based on temperature, the terminals used and the altitude (see chapter Installations)
Start-up function
The start-up function allows the protections S, D, I and G to operate with higher trip thresholds
during the start-up phase. This avoids untimely tripping caused by the high inrush currents of
certain loads (motors, transformers, lamps).
The start-up phase lasts from 100 ms to 1.5 s, in steps of 0.05 s. It is automatically
recognized by the PR113 release as follows:
when the circuit-breaker closes with self-powered release;
when the peak value of the maximum current exceeds 0.1 x In; a new start-up becomes pos-
sible after the current has fallen below the threshold of 0.1 x In, if the release is powered by an
external source.
4/20 ABB SACE

Zone selectivity function
The zone selectivity function permits the fault area to be insulated by very rapidly segregating
the system only at the level closest to the fault, while leaving the rest of the installation running.
This is done by connecting the releases: the release nearest the fault is instantly tripped, sending
a block signal to the other releases affected by the same fault
The zone selectivity function may be enabled if the fixed-time curve has been selected and the
auxiliary power supply is present.
Zone selectivity may be applied with protections S and G or, alternatively, with protection D.
Contact programming functions

The PR113 release is equipped with two relays, with contacts known as K51/p1 and K51/p2 (the
latter is not available on PR113/PD).
They may signal a variety of situations selected by the user, including: protection timing, alarms,
cause of opening, temperature thresholds exceeded, zone selectivity, load control, disconnected
opening solenoid or CT, harmonic distortion, etc.
Measuring functions
The PR113 release provides a complete set of measurements:

Signalling functions
The PR113 unit provides optic signals (via indicator LEDs, magnetic flags and display mes-
sages) and electrical signals.
Optic signals on the front of the release:

Vaux LED (green): indicates there is an auxiliary power supply
µP Fault LED (red): indicates a temporary or permanent fault in the microprocessor
Temp LED (orange): the signals is flashing for internal relay temperatures <-20°C or >+70°C,
steadily lit for temperatures <-25°C or >+85°C
Trip LED (red): with auxiliary voltage only, this lights after the circuit-breaker opens due to
tripped protections
Warning LED (yellow): is a generic pre-alarm signal following the occurrence of any of the
conditions listed below:
one or more phases with current values in the range of 0.9 x I1<I<1.05 xI1 (IEC)
two or three phases with umbalance greater than the programmed level for the protection U
(phase umbalance), with protection trip disabled
distorted waveform with form factor >2.1 (harmonic distortion)
contact wear beyond 80%.
frequency out of range
Warning Threshold exceeded (current pre-alarm threshold settable via the configuration
menu)
circuit-breaker status error
Emergency LED (red): its a generic alarm signal when one of the conditions listed below
occurs:
4 one or more phases overloaded with current values I>1.3xI1
timing in progress for protection functions: S, I, G, D, UV, OV, RV, RP
timing in the event of a phase umbalance greater than the value set, with protection trip set
to on
contact wear at 100%
CTs disconnected
opening solenoid disconnected
Yellow magnetic flag indicates one of the following protections is tripped: undervoltage
(UV), overvoltage (OV), * residual voltage (RV), reverse power (RP), phase umbalance (U),
overtemperature (OT). The release display indicates which protection has been tripped
Yellow magnetic flag L: indicates protection L tripped
Yellow magnetic flag S: signals protection S or D tripped
Yellow magnetic flag I: instantaneous short-circuit protection I is tripped
Yellow magnetic flag G: earth fault protection G is tripped.
The electrical signals refer instead to the contacts:

K51/p1 and K51/p2, which may be set by the user (with auxiliary power supply only)
K51/YO1, which signals that one of the following protections is tripped: L, S, D, I, G, U, OT, UV,
OV, RV, RP
K51/µP, to signal temporary or permanent fault of the microprocessor.
In addition to the optic and electrical signals, the PR113 release display also shows messages
about incorrect configurations, general alarms, tripped protection functions, load control (with
the aid of SACE PR020/K) and password management.

Protection® and dialogue®releases for
LONWORKS and Modbus networks
PR112/PD and PR113/PD
Functional integration among various kinds of technological installations in industry and services
is gradually increasing the need for communication, control and automation in low-voltage elec-
trical installations. Modern microprocessor-based systems that operate using a logic of distrib-
uted intelligence (through components able to process data, exchange information, signals and
commands) offer the most effective and flexible solution and cover a variety of different applica-
tions and specific needs. For a prompt and effective response to the demand for interconnec-
tion, intelligence, function, flexibility, interoperability and ease of installation, ABB SACE has
developed new communication and control devices for low-voltage circuit-breakers based on
the LonTalk® and Modbus® RTU protocols.
The new devices developed for the Emax range of air circuit-breakers, in particular, include:
PR112/PD LON® releases, based on LONWORKS® technology with LonTalk® protocol;
PR112/PD Modbus® releases, based on the Modbus® RTU protocol;
PR113/PD Modbus® releases, based on the Modbus® RTU protocol.
LONWORKS®
LON® (Local Operate Network) is a data transmission technology with applications in a variety of
settings, from the service industry to process control. The PR112/PD LON releases (available in
LSI and LSIG versions) and the device PR212/D-L (the latter available on the Isomax range of
moulded-case circuit-breakers), make it possible to integrate ABB SACE Emax air circuit-break-
ers and SACE Isomax S moulded-case circuit-breakers in a communication network based on
LONWORKS® technology, according to the LonTalk® protocol (Ansi/EIA 709.1-A-199). The devices
are developed in accordance with LONMARK® directives to ensure HW and SW development in
line with the interoperability standard defined by the LONMARK® Association. These devices also
make it possible to integrate the circuit-breakers with ABB INSUM, the integrated supervision
and measurement control system instrument gauge for motor control centers (MCC). LONWORKS®
4
technology allows high performance while ensuring event-driven peer-to-peer communication.
The devices use the TP/XF 78 transceiver (physical data transmission means: braided pair;
transmission rate: 78000 bit/sec).
Modbus® RTU
The Modbus® RTU protocol has been well known and used worldwide for several years. It is
essentially the market standard thanks to its ease of installation, configuration and integration
into different supervision, control and automation systems, in addition to good performance.
PR112/PD Modbus (available in LSI and LSIG versions) and PR112/PD Modbus releases and
the PR212/D-M device (the latter available on the Isomax range of moulded-case circuit-break-
ers), allow ABB SACE Emax air circuit-breakers and Isomax S moulded-case circuit-breakers to

PR112/PD and PR113/PD dialogue units

The human-machine interface (HMI) of the PR112/PD LON, PR112/PD Modbus and PR112/PD
Modbus devices is made up of a graphic display (LCD), LEDs, magnetic flags and touchpad
pushbuttons.
The user may choose from among five available languages: Italian, English, German, French
and Spanish. The HMI is active when the auxiliary power supply is used, if the PR120/B battery
unit is connected, or, finally, if the single-phase current is more than 35% of the rated current of
the current transformers.
PR112/PD LON, PR112/PD Modbus and PR112/PD Modbus releases are always supplied with
the PR120/B battery unit. This accessory is connected to the front connector of the release, and
allows the protection parameters to be set regardless of the circuit-breaker status.
The dialogue functions and parameter settings are available only when the auxiliary power sup-
ply is present.
Sending and receiving data

Releases with built-in dialogue and control functionsPR112/PD LON, PR112/PD Modbus and
PR113/PD Modbusallow the remote acquisition and transmission of a wide range of informa-
tion; opening and closing, thanks to opening and closing releases installed on the circuit-breaker;
storing configuration and programming parameters for the unit; the current thresholds of the
protection functions ad protection curves.
All information may be consulted either locally, directly on the front of the circuit-breaker, or
remotely via supervision and control systems.
4 All releases with dialogue functions perform the same protection functions as the corresponding
protection releases. See the corresponding sections for the protection releases.

Event time-stamping and saving function (only with LON®

protocol)
The PR112/PD LON release keeps its base synchronized with the absolute system time. The
availability of absolute time makes it possible to time-stamp the events that occur in the circuit-
breaker and in the PR112 release itself.
By gathering these events from the various devices installed, the supervision and control system
can compile a list of significant events for managing and analyzing the installation. Such an
analysis may be especially useful, for example, in tracing the causes that led to a fault.
Detected and time-stamped events:
all protection events,
all Warning and Emergency signals,
all Read/Edit change-overs
all opening and closing operations.
The above information is stored locally and made available to the supervision and control sys-
tem.

SACE PR120/B power supply unit

This accessory, always supplied with the PR112 and PR113 range of releases, makes it possible
to read and configure the parameters of the unit whatever the status of the circuit-breaker (open-
closed, in test isolated or racked-in position, with/without auxiliary power supply).
An internal electronic circuit powers the unit for approximately 3 consecutive hours for the sole
purpose of reading and configuring data.
In relation to the amount of use, battery life decreases if the SACE PR120/B accessory is also
used to perform the COMMAND menu functions (Trip test, Auto test).

The SACE PR010/T unit is an instrument capable of performing the functions of testing, program-
ming and reading parameters for the protection units equipping SACE Emax low-voltage air
circuit-breakers.
The test function in particular involves the units:
PR111 (all versions)
while the parameter programming and reading functions concern the range of PR112 and PR113
releases.
All of the functions mentioned may be carried out on board by connecting the SACE PR010/T
unit to the front multi-pin connector on the various protection units. Special interface cables
supplied with the unit should be used for this connection.
The human-machine interface takes the form of a touchpad and multi-line alphanumeric display.
1SDC200129F0001
The unit also has two LEDs to indicate, respectively:

ABB SACE 4/35

The unit also has two LEDs to indicate, respectively:

POWER-ON and STAND BY
battery charge status.
Two different types of test are available: automatic (for PR111, PR112 and PR113) and manual.
By connecting to a PC (using the disc supplied by ABB SACE) it is also possible to upgrade the
software of the SACE PR010/T unit and thus adapt the test unit to the development of new
products.
It is also possible to store the most interesting test results in the unit itself, and send a report to
the personal computer with the following information:
type of protection tested
threshold selected
curve selected
phase tested
test current
estimated trip time
measured trip time
test results.
At least 5 complete tests may be stored in memory. The report downloaded onto PC allow the
creation of an archive of tests carried out on the installation.
In automatic mode, the SACE PR010/T unit is capable of testing the following with the PR112
range:
protection functions L, S, I,
G protection function with internal transformer,
G protection function with toroid on the transformer star center,
4 monitoring of smooth microprocessor operation.
The PR113 release also tests:

overvoltage protection function OV,
undervoltage protection function UV,
residual voltage protection function RV,
phase umbalance protection function U.
The same tests may be repeated manually for PR111 and PR112.
The SACE PR010/T unit is portable and runs on rechargeable batteries and/or with an external
power supply (always supplied) with a rated voltage of 100-240V AC/12V DC.
The standard version of the SACE PR010/T unit includes:

4/36 ABB SACE

SACE PR020/K signalling unit
The SACE PR020/K signalling unit can convert the digital signals supplied by the PR112 and
PR113 protection unit (in version P or PD) into electrical signals, via normally open electrical
contacts.
The unit is connected to the protection release by means of a dedicated serial line through which
flows all of the information about the activation status of the protection functions. The corre-
sponding power contacts are closed based on this information.
The following signals/contacts are available for the PR112 release:
overload pre-alarm L
timing and tripping of the protections L, S and G
protection I tripped
timing and exceeded overtemperature threshold (T>85 °C)
two load control contacts (connection and disconnection of a load, or disconnection of two
loads)
release tripped
dialogue fault on a serial line (connecting the protection and signalling units).
With the release PR113 in standard configuration, tripping of the phase umbalance protection is
also indicated in addition to the signals listed above.
Setting a dip-switch allows up to seven signal contacts to be freely configured, including: direc-
tional protection D tripped, under- and overvoltage UV and OV tripped, reverse power RP tripped,
and others.
Two contacts available on the SACE PR020/K unit (load control) can pilot a circuit-breaker open-
4
ing or closing release. These contacts allow various applications, including load control, alarms,
signals, electrical locks.
The alarm signal remains active throughout the overload, until the release is tripped.
The trip signals of the protections remain active during the timing phase, and even after the
release is tripped.
Pressing the Reset pushbutton resets the status of all signals.
The unit also contains ten LEDs to visually signal the following information:
Power ON: auxiliary power supply present
TX (Int Bus): flashing synchronized with dialogue with the Internal Bus
