Product overview
ABB ReliaGear LV Switchgear is manufactured with rugged
heavy duty steel and is compartmentally designed to enclose
all electrical parts.
The switchgear assembly consists of one or more metal-enclosed

vertical sections joined side-by-side with a continuous
horizontal bus. Each vertical section, is an enclosed, vertical
metal cabinet that contains devices, wireways and other
internal components.
Vertical sections are arranged and joined side-by-side at the

factory up to a maximum of 76" wide or three sections. This
facilitates shipping, handling and installation. A lineup may include
more than one shipping split depending on the configuration.
Each vertical section is divided into several areas: The breaker

compartment in the front of the section, the bus compartment
in the middle and the cable compartment for the end terminal
connections at the back.
The breaker compartment within a section can be divided into

smaller modules to accommodate devices of different heights.
One section may be divided into as many as four of these
modules.

If the iTest key is pressed, the trip unit displays all these data directly on the display.
No auxiliary supply is required. The information is also available to the user with the circuit breaker open or without current flow,
thanks to the battery installed inside the unit.
Maintenance indicators
A complete set of information about the circuit breaker and its operation is available for effective fault analysis and preventive
maintenance scheduling. All information can be seen from the display or from a PC using a communication unit; specifically:
• Date, time, fault current by phase and type of protection tripped over the last 30 trips
• Date, time and type of operation of the last 200 events (example: opening/closing of the circuit breaker, pre-alarms, editing of
settings, etc.)
• Number of operations of the circuit breaker: divided into mechanical operations (no current), electrical operations (with current)
and protection function (trip)
• Contact wear (endurance) estimated in function of the number and type of openings
• Total operating time of the circuit breaker with circulating current
• Date and time of the last maintenance session, scheduling of the next maintenance session
• Circuit-breaker identifying data: type, serial number, firmware version, device name assigned by the user
All the information can be viewed directly from the display and from a smartphone, tablet (with Ekip Bluetooth) or PC using the
front port of the trip unit or the system communication.
Communication
Communication modules that can be installed inside the circuit breaker enable Ekip Touch to be integrated into the most modern
monitoring systems with protocols:
• IEC 61850 • Modbus RS-485 • Profinet • EtherNet/IP
• Modbus TCP • Profibus • DeviceNet
By integrating into communication systems, measurements, statuses and alarms can be programmed and viewed by remote
functions. If the circuit breaker has to be opened and closed remotely, the Ekip Com Actuator module can be installed in the
circuit breaker front, in the right-hand accessories chamber.
For each circuit breaker, several communication modules with different protocols can be used simultaneously. This allows the
circuit breaker to be connected to the Ekip link system to obtain local monitoring from the front of the switchgear and to
simultaneously integrate it into a communication network. For applications requiring very high reliability, up to two modules of the
same protocol can be inserted by using the redundant version that enables two different addresses to communicate on the same bus.

• Directly from the Ekip Hi-Touch display
• By a settable internal time, after the circuit breaker has closed
Ekip Hi-Touch integrates the exclusive Network Analyzer function, which analyzes the quality of energy consumed by the
installation, in accordance with the provisions of international standards EN50160, IEC 61000-4-30, IEEE 1159 and IEEE 1250, in
terms of harmonic content, average value and long or short term changes in voltage. Changes in the quality of energy can cause
malfunctions in the switchgear and a reduction in their lifespan, as well as increasing losses and reducing the energy efficiency
of the installation.
It is, therefore, increasingly important to assess the energy’s quality and its economic impact on the production process, so
appropriate preventive and corrective actions can be taken. With Ekip Hi-Touch, the causes of increased power loss in transformers
or motors or reduced lifespan of cables and capacitors can be identified without needing to install any external instrumentation.
The Network Analyzer function continuously monitors energy quality and shows all results through a display or communication
module; specifically:
• Hourly average voltage value: in accordance with international standards, this must remain within 10% of the rated value, but
different limits can be defined according to the needs of the installation. The positive sequence voltage is obtained from the
three line voltages and compared with the limits. If the limits are exceeded, Ekip Hi-Touch generates a signaling event. The
quantity of these events is stored in a counter. The counter values are available for each of the last 7 days, as well as the total.
The measures available are the positive and negative sequence voltages and positive and negative sequence currents of the last
interval monitored. The interval calculation time of the average values can be set between 5 minutes and 2 hours.
• Interruptions/short dips in voltage (voltage interruptions/voltage dip): if the voltage remains below the threshold for more
than 40ms, Ekip Hi-Touch generates an event that is counted in a dedicated log. The voltage is monitored on all lines.
• Short voltage spikes (voltage transients, spikes): if the voltage exceeds the threshold for 40ms, set for a pre-determined
time, Ekip Hi-Touch generates an event that is counted.
• Slow voltage sags and swells (voltage sag/voltage swell): when the voltage goes outside the range of acceptable limit values
for a time greater than the one set, Ekip Hi-Touch generates an event that is counted. Three values can be configured for voltage
sags and two for voltage swells, each of which is associated to a time limit: this enables verification of whether the voltage
remains within a curve of values that are acceptable by equipment such as computers. The voltage is monitored on all lines.
• Voltage imbalances: if the voltages are not equal or the phase displacements between them are not exactly 120°, an imbalance
occurs, which is manifested with a negative sequence voltage value. If this limit exceeds the threshold value set, an event is
stored which is counted.
• Harmonic analysis: the harmonic content of voltages and currents, measured to the 50th harmonic, as well as the value of total
harmonic distortion (THD), is available in real time on the display or through the communication modules. Ekip Hi-Touch also
generates an alarm if the THD value or the magnitude of at least one of the harmonics exceeds the values set.
The voltage is monitored on all lines and currents on all phases. All information can be displayed directly on the screen or on a
smartphone, tablet or PC using the front port of the trip unit (with Ekip Bluetooth) or installation communication.

Voltage controlled overcurrent protection (S(V)—ANSI 51V): protection from maximum current with constant trip time (t=k)
that is sensitive to the voltage value. The set current threshold, following a voltage drop, decreases by steps or linearly.
In step mode (controlled mode) the protection is tripped at the set threshold (I20) if the voltage is above U, whereas it is tripped
at the lower threshold of the factor Ks (I20 * Ks) if the voltage is below U.
In linear (restrained) mode, two voltage limits are selected within which the protection is tripped at the set threshold (I20)
reduced by the factor K corresponding to the measured voltage. The variation of the factor K is proportional to the voltage, and
for voltages greater than the upper threshold (Uh), the threshold I20 works; for voltages below the lower threshold (UI), the
minimum threshold (I20 * Ks) applies.
Residual overvoltage (RV—ANSI 59N): with constant trip time (t = k), protects against insulation loss in systems with insulated
neutral or with neutral grounded with impedance.
Loss of field or reverse reactive power (RQ—ANSI 40 or 32RQ): with constant trip time (t = k), is tripped when the total reactive
power absorbed by the generator exceeds the set threshold. It is possible to select the constant threshold (k=0) or a function of
the delivered active power of the generator (k≠0).
Reactive overpower (OQ—ANSI 32OF): with constant trip time (t = k), the function is tripped when reactive power exceeds the
set threshold in the generator to network direction.
Active overpower (OP—ANSI 32OF): with constant trip time (t = k), the function is tripped when the active power exceeds the
threshold set in the delivering direction of the generator.
Active underpower (UP—ANSI 32LF): with constant trip time (t = k), the function is tripped when the active power delivered by the
generator is lower than the set threshold. It is possible to disable the protection temporarily, to manage the start-up phase, by
setting a time window from the closing of the circuit breaker, by using an electric signal or via incoming communication to a relay.

Mechanical interlocks (consult factory)

These interlock systems enable various opening and closing configurations to be obtained between two or three circuit breakers.
Four types of interlock configuration are available (see below). Mechanical interlocks offer multiple installation solutions that
simplify their integration into the switchgear. They can be mounted:
• Vertically VR
• Horizontally HR
• Mixed L
Different types of interlocks can be supplied according to the maximum distance between two interlocked breakers For B, C and
D types, the maximum distance between the two farthest breakers is 10.5 ft./3200 mm for horizontal configurations and 6.5
ft./2000 mm for vertical configurations. It is possible to make the mechanical interlock among three circuit-breakers disposed in
L position by using the cables of three horizontal circuit-breakers interlock. Make sure the distance between the horizontal and
vertical circuit breakers respects the minimum and maximum distance. All cables can be cut to guarantee easy installation in
switchboards. Mechanical interlocks are not compatible with AUX 15Q (15 Form C), the locks for preventing door opening when
the circuit breaker is in the closed position (DLC) or when the circuit breaker is in the racked in or test position (DLP) if mounted
on the right side.

This device can be supplied with locks with different keys—KLP-D or with the same keys—
KLP-S. A second key lock option can be added for a maximum of two key locks per breaker.
Locking in the racked in, test and racked out positions can be achieved by using other key
locks—KLP-A. Adapters are offered to accept Ronis, Profalux, Kirk and Castell locks (consult
factory). With the exception of the Castell version, every circuit breaker can accept up to two
key locks. Moreover, it is possible to allow locking only when in the racked out position with a
supplementary lock in racked out position accessory.
Breaker control switches

ABB cam switches can be provided for electrically operated breakers. A variety of options and
accessories are available to meet specific requirements for different applications.
Pilot devices
When selector switches are required such as for auto/manual transfer schemes or local/remote
selection an ABB type cam switch is used as a standard. Optional switches can be provided
upon request.
Space heaters, thermostats, humidistat

As standard, one space heater per section is provided and mounted in the main bus compartment.
Optional space heaters are available for mounting in the cable compartment. Heaters are rated
for a maximum of 250W at 240VAC and operated at 120VAC. The heaters are mounted in a metal
protective housing. The thermostat used with space heaters has an operating range of -10° to
100°F. Humidistat controllers are also available.
Wiring
As standard, all switchgear wiring is gray #14 AWG SIS with insulated locking fork terminals. As
an option, ABB can provide ring tongue terminals instead of locking fork terminals. Standard
control wire for current transformers is gray #10 AWG SIS wire (#12 AWG optional). Control wire
for control power transformers up to 5kVA is #12 AWG SIS. For larger control power transformers,
appropriately sized wire is used.
Spare customer terminal points can be located in the front of the gear in an instrument
compartment or in the breaker compartment. The number of spare terminal points may impact
overall equipment layout dimensions.
Control power transformers

In the absence of externally supplied 125VDC for the required instruments and breakers, a
120VAC control power transformer can be supplied. These transformers are sized according to
the load requirement of the breakers and other installed equipment. The control power
transformers are mounted in either an available instrument compartment or on a mounting
base in the rear of the section. Standard transformer values are 1kVA, 3kVA and 5kVA.
The control power transformers are rated for a 600V dielectric insulation class. Primary and
secondary fuses are either mounted separately in an instrument compartment or have
on-board fuse clips.
Current transformers
Emax 2 circuit breakers do not require current transformers. Integrated new generation Rogowski
sensors, which are sensitive to the true r.m.s. value of the current, guarantee high accuracy of both
measurements and protection. Nevertheless, for applications requiring external CT’s, numerous
options are available for mains, ties, and feeders. Standard current transformers are metering
class, rated for 600V, 10kV BIL full wave, frequency response 50-400Hz. Available current
transformer ratios are: 800:5, 1200:5, 1600:5, 2000:5, 2500:5, 3200:5, 4000:5, and 5000:5.
Voltage transformers
Voltage transformers used in the ReliaGear LV Switchgear are mounted in either an instrument
compartment or in the rear section on a mounting pan. Primary and secondary fuses are
mounted separately in an instrument compartment.
Electrical characteristics for standard potential transformer:

• Insulation Class: 600V dielectric; 10kV full wave BIL.
• Accuracy Class: 0.6W, 1.2X at 60 Hz.
• Thermal ratings: 150 VA at 30°C ambient and 100 VA at 55°C ambient.
—
Test switches and plugs

As an option, the ABB ReliaGear LV Switchgear allows the installation of ABB Flexitest FT-1 or
FT-14 test switches or test plugs. The test switch may be utilized for current transformer and
potential transformer testing. ABB provides shorting blocks for current transformers as standard.
All Flexitest switches meet or exceed all requirements of ANSI/IEEE Standard C37.90 and are
UL, cUL and CSA listed.
The standard test switch cover is black, and a clear cover is also available. Standard switch colors
are black for potential transformer connections and red for current transformer connections.
Custom color schemes are available by request.
Relays
Industrial control relays, ANSI protective relays and programmable relays specific to the
switchgear application may be installed in ReliaGear LV Switchgear breaker and instrumentation
compartments. Commonly installed devices include undervoltage, synch-check, or lockout relays.
Other relays may be installed to implement customized control, protection or transfer schemes.
Spacing limitations apply; consult local ABB sales personnel for pricing and availability.
Ekip Synchrocheck
This optional module can be used with distribution and generator protection versions of the
Ekip Touch and Hi-Touch trip units equipped with the Ekip Measuring Pro module. Ekip
Synchrochek measures the voltages from two phases of one line through an external transformer
and compares them to the measured voltages at the breaker utilizing the Ekip Measuring Pro
Module. An output contact is available, which is activated upon reaching synchronism, and
enables the circuit breaker to be closed by means of wiring with the closing coil.
The synchronism control function compares the voltages in the module, the frequency and
phase of the two circuits to which the circuit breaker is connected. Ekip Touch indicates that
conditions have been reached that enable the two lines to be made parallel. The function is
available with two work modes:
(Phase) • In systems with both busbars supplied, where synchronism is determined by:
220Vac
Vbar1 (Neutral) 1. Voltage of the two half-busbars above the Ulive threshold for the set time

2. Difference of the module of the two voltages below the threshold

Ekip Ekip
G Touch Measuring 3. Difference of the frequency of the two voltages below the threshold
External operating 4. Difference of the phase of the two voltages below the threshold
YC
mechanism (synchronizing
unit or manual operating
mechanism)
5. Desirable time for synchronism condition tsyn
Vbar2 6. Circuit breaker open
• In systems with an out-of-service line (dead busbar), where the synchronism condition is
determined by the concurrence of the following conditions for the tref set time:
7. Voltage of the active half-busbar above threshold Ulive
8. Voltage of the dead half-busbar below threshold Udead
9. Circuit breaker open
In both cases, synchronism consent is withdrawn when one of the above conditions is missing
and it has not been less than 200ms from the change of the circuit breaker condition (when the
relationship has been set).
The indication of reached synchronism is available directly as an electrical indication via a contact
that is always supplied with the module. The function can be activated simply by connecting the
Ekip Synchrocheck module to any Ekip Touch provided with an Ekip Measuring Pro module.
Manual and automatic transfer schemes

Transfer schemes can be achieved either manually with breaker interlocks or automatically
using programmable relays, PLC controllers or the integrated trip unit function.
Manual transfer schemes use key interlocks installed in breaker compartments and are operable
without opening a breaker door. Key lock transfer schemes are typically used to prevent
switchgear lineups from paralleling sources. Keys are held captive in the key interlock until the
breaker is opened, thereby preventing the key from being withdrawn and used to enable
another source’s breaker.
Automatic transfer systems are often used to minimize the duration of power interruptions
by transferring the load from the normal source to an alternate source when the normal
source fails or is temporarily unavailable. In automatic transfer schemes, electrically operated
breakers are required on the incoming sources. Specifics of a plant process or load grouping
strategy may dictate the scheme’s operating sequence. Automatic transfer schemes may use
the Ekip trip unit functionality, a factory programmed PLC with touchscreen control and
monitoring display, or use interconnected programmable breaker protection relays such as ABB
REF615 or third party relays.
Power monitoring
The ReliaGear LV Switchgear allows for installation of a variety of metering options. A wide
selection of factory-installed multifunction meters may be provided in ReliaGear LV Switchgear.
Analog switchboard meters such as ammeters, voltmeters, watthour meters, power factor
indicators, etc. are also available.
Ekip Multimeter
The Ekip Multimeter is a display unit to be installed on the front of the switchgear for Emax 2
circuit breakers equipped with Ekip electronic trip units. The device, measuring 3.78"x3.78"/
96mmx96mm in size, is equipped with a large touch screen display and allows measurements
to be displayed with the same levels of precision as the trip unit itself. If connected to trip units
with a display, Ekip Multimeter allows parameters and protection thresholds to be adjusted. Up
to 4 Ekip Multimeter devices can be connected at the same time to the same Ekip protection
trip unit to display currents, voltage, powers and energy. Ekip Multimeter can be powered either
in direct current (24-48V DC or 110-240V DC) or in alternating current (110-240V AC). It is
equipped with a 24V DC output that supplies the trip unit it’s connected to.
Surge protective devices

Surge protective devices (SPD) are available in ReliaGear LV Switchgear and are installed in
instrument compartments. Available ratings range from 80kA-300kA/mode or 160kA-600kA/
phase. These may be installed for all power system type at all standard nominal voltages.
Standard SPD installaed in ReliaGear LV Switchgear are UL 1449-listed and may come equipped
with a door mounted display with options for auxiliary alarm contacts and a surge counter.
Selection of compression and mechanical lugs

Optional mechanical or Color-Keyed NEMA 2-hole compression lugs are available in a range of
3/0 AWG to 750 kcmil for power cable terminations. Lugs meet or exceed all UL and CSA
requirements. When lugs are selected, straight barrel type is provided, consult factory for
special applications.

Integrated communications network

Thanks to the wide range of communication protocols supported, Emax 2 circuit breakers
equipped with Ekip Touch electronic trip units can be directly integrated into communication
networks without the need for external interface devices. Since they are mounted in the terminal
box, communication can be maintained with withdrawable circuit breakers, even while in the
racked out position.
The distinctive characteristics of the Emax 2 circuit breaker offering for industrial communication are:
• Wide range of protocols supported: the Ekip Com communication modules enable integration
with the most common communication protocols based on RS485 serial lines and the most
modern communication systems based on Ethernet infrastructures, guaranteeing a data
exchange in the order of 100 Mbit/s.
• Reduced installation times: the plug & play technology of the communication modules enables
them to be snapped directly into the terminal box, without needing to remove the electronic
trip unit.
• Repetition of communication for greater reliability of the system: the circuit breaker can be
equipped with two communication modules at the same time, allowing the information on
two buses to be exchanged simultaneously.
• Ready for smart grid: the Ekip Com 61850 module is the solution for integrating SACE Emax 2 into
the automated systems of electrical substations without the need for complex external devices.
• Complete monitoring of Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP/IP networks via the Ekip View software

High-resistance grounding systems

High-resistance grounding provides the same fault protection advantages as ungrounded
systems, but unlike ungrounded systems, it limits the steady state and severe transient over
voltages associated with ungrounded systems.
The protective scheme associated with high-resistance grounding is usually detection and
alarming rather than immediate trip out. High-resistance grounding usually does not require
immediate clearing of a ground fault since the fault current is limited to a very low level.
High-resistance grounding systems are available in ReliaGear LV Switchgear. Space

requirements include an available instrument compartment and mounting space for the
grounding resistor banks. Mounting and layout restrictions are dependent on the system
ampacity and incoming mains arrangement.

Communications and software
Ekip Connect
Ekip Connect enables data to be exchanged with one or more protection trip units, which:
• Assists with system commissioning: all system parameters and protection thresholds can be set rapidly in the Ekip trip units
thanks to the software’s easy and intuitive navigation pages.
• Permits rapid access to diagnostics: it is possible to consult and download the records of events, alarms and trip history,
facilitating the identification and understanding of anomalies.
• Enables testing of the communication network: Ekip Connect performs an automatic scan of the Modbus RS-485 or Modbus
TCP network and determines whether the circuit breakers have been correctly connected. When necessary, it signals incorrect
configurations of the communication parameters (addresses, baud rate, parity).
The distinctive characteristics of the software are:

• Ease of connection: Ekip trip units equipped with Modbus TCP Ekip Com modules can be controlled directly by the EtherNet
network.
• Multi-media: Ekip Connect is designed to operate on a desktop PC, tablet or smartphone.
• Automatic updating from the Internet: if connected to the Internet, the software is able to constantly control the availability
of any updates.
The software is available free of charge on the ABB website www.abb.com/lowvoltage.
Ekip View
Ekip View software monitors devices connected to a communication network that uses a Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP protocol.
It is the ideal tool for all applications that require:
• Remote control of the system
• Power consumption monitoring
• Fault detection of the system
• Energy consumption allocation to different processes and departments
• Preventive maintenance planning
The main characteristics of Ekip View are:

• Engineering-free, ready-to-use software: guides the user in recognizing and configuring the protection units without the
need for system engineering.
• Dynamic mimic panel: after automatically scanning the network, for each of the devices found, Ekip View proposes a dynamic
symbol that summarizes the most important information (status, electrical measurements, alarms). The extensive library of
electrical symbols depicts the entire electrical system in detail.
• Analysis of trends: the instantaneous and past trends of current, power and power factors are represented graphically and can
be exported into Microsoft Excel for detailed analysis.
• Reports: advanced reports can be created regarding system and communication network diagnostics. Using the Alarm
Dispatcher option, the user can receive the most important indications via SMS or email.
• Access via web to the installation, via the Web Server function of Ekip View.
Ekip T&P Interface

Ekip T&P Interface software, used together with the Ekip T&P device, enables electronic protection trip units to be tested for
correct operation during the stages of commissioning and system maintenance.
Thanks to advanced graphical interfaces, the user can simply select the test to perform: from simple current and voltage signals
to more complex wave forms with the presence of harmonic distortion.
The software creates and stores all reports, keeping a record of the tests carried out and essential information such as the
operator name, date, serial number of the circuit breaker, type of test and the result.
Testing and programming

Ekip TT testing and power supply unit (battery pack)
The Ekip TT device allows the proper functioning of the circuit breaker trip
mechanism to be verified. It also allows a trip unit not provided with auxiliary power
supply to be supplied with power so that the last protection device tripped can be
displayed directly on the screen or by illuminating of corresponding LEDs. The device
can be connected to the front test port of any SACE Emax 2 Ekip trip unit. It is supplied
as standard to set protection functions on Ekip Touch and Hi-Touch trip unit versions
for distribution and generator protection.
Ekip T&P testing kit

The Ekip T&P testing kit includes different components for programming and testing
electronic protection trip units; namely:
• Ekip T&P unit
• Ekip TT unit
• Adapters for Emax and Tmax trip units
• USB cable to connect the T&P unit to the Ekip trip units
• Installation CD for Ekip Connect and Ekip T&P interface software
The Ekip T&P unit easily connects from your PC (via USB) to the trip unit (via mini
USB) with the cable provided. The Ekip T&P unit can perform simple manual or
automatic tests on the trip unit functions. Ekip T&P allows for more advanced function
testing to be conducted through the addition of harmonics and shifting phases to
more accurately replicate the real conditions of an application. This permits more
concise protection function parameters to be set, which may be required in critical
applications. It can also generate a test report to help monitor maintenance schedules.
Ekip Programming Module

The Ekip Programming module is used for programming Ekip trip units via USB to
a PC using the Ekip Connect software that can be downloaded online. This can be
useful for uploading/ downloading entire sets of parameters for multiple breakers
both for set-up as well as for maintenance (for periodic cataloguing of breaker
parameters in case of a catastrophic situation).

Arc flash mitigation
During an arc fault, the voltage at the fault site is equivalent to the system voltage. The
energy is focused within the switchgear cabinet, generating temperatures as high as
35,000 °F (19,500 °C), hot enough to damage or destroy equipment and cause serious
injury, even at a distance.
NFPA 70E defines an arc flash as a dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc. Electrical
equipment has traditionally been designed to withstand bolted faults; incidents when the current spikes to a potentially dangerous
level but is quickly and safely interrupted by the protective devices in place, including relays, breakers and fuses.
Unfortunately, these protective devices do not detect and, therefore, cannot interrupt internal arc faults that have lower current
levels but can still create a dangerous and potentially deadly event. These internal faults may be the result of insulation
degradation, animals or debris contacting the energized bus, or a multitude of other conditions that provide the path for an
electrical discharge through the air.
Internal arc faults occur within milliseconds but have tremendous destructive potential. The ionized gases generated by the arc
create a conductive path between the opposite polarities and/or ground. The arc typically continues until interrupted by the
circuit breaker or other protective device. The severity of the blast pressure is dependent on the magnitude and duration of the
fault current.
ReliaGear LV Switchgear offers numerous options to increase personnel protection during maintenance and operation of the
equipment. Hazard analyses are essential to determine the appropriate PPE level for technicians working in or near energized
equipment.
Maintenance mode switch

An energy-reducing maintenance switch allows a worker to set a circuit breaker trip
unit to no intentional delay to reduce the clearing time while the worker is working
within an arc-flash boundary as defined in NFPA 70E, 2012, Standard for Electrical
Safety in the Workplace, and then to set the trip unit back to its normal setting after
the potentially hazardous work is completed.
The ABB Emax2 circuit breakers have the capability of offering maintenance mode
protective settings when equipped with the Ekip Touch or Ekip Hi-Touch trip units. A
second protection against instantaneous overcurrent (2I) is available for instantaneous
protection, separate from the standard ANSI 50. This 2I protective setting can be set
lower than the standard I protection setting for a temporary amount of time and can
be activated via an external command. Circuit breakers must be equipped with
either an Ekip Touch or Ekip Hi-Touch trip unit, and the accessories listed below.
Required parts components:

• Ekip Signaling 2K module
• Ekip Supply module
• 24VDC timer
• 110-130VAD/DC Blue pilot light with nameplate
• 2-pos selector switch with NO+NC contacts and nameplate
—
Zone selective interlocking

Can be used to minimize circuit breaker trip times closest to the fault. The protection
is provided by connecting all the zone selectivity outputs of the trip units belonging
to the same zone and feeding this signal to the trip unit input that is immediately
upstream. Each circuit breaker that detects a fault reports it to the circuit breaker
upstream; the circuit breaker that detects the fault but does not receive any
communication from those downstream opens without waiting for the set delay to
elapse. It is possible to enable zone selectivity if the fixed-time curve has been
selected and the auxiliary supply is present.
Arc flash detection relays

Arc flash relays are used for protection against arc flash events and are an effective
way of minimizing damage to switchgear. These relays detect an arc flash event
using fiber optic sensors that can be installed using a single sensor loop passing
through the switchgear bus and cable compartments, or with an array of point sensors
installed in multiple locations throughout the switchgear. Detection of an arc flash
event by the protective relay triggers the main circuit breaker of the switchgear to
open. For multiple-ended systems, coordination of arc flash relays may be
implemented into the design.
Installations for arc flash detection relays by standard employ an array of point-lens
light sensors placed in locations throughout the bus, breaker and cable compartments.
Along with current monitoring at the main breakers, this network of sensors serves
as the detection mechanism for a high current electrical arc.
Available arc flash detection relays in ReliaGear LV Switchgear are the ABB REA 101
and the ABB Arc Guard System TVOC-2.
REA
The REA 101 module can utilize a loop or radial type fiber-optic sensor, or a lens-type
sensor for light detection. The REA 101 module features two high-speed, galvanically
isolated, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) outputs (HSO1 and HSO2) for CB
tripping purposes. In addition, REA 101 offers one heavy-duty relay output (TRIP3) to
be used, for example, as a circuit-breaker failure protection (CBFP) output for an
up-stream circuit-breaker, or as an alarm output.
The REA 101 module features an adjustable three-phase overcurrent or two-phase

and neutral overcurrent condition monitoring function, which enhances the reliability
of the arc fault detection by eliminating unwanted CB tripping caused by light not
related to any arc fault, e.g. flash light used in photography.
The build-in self-supervision system of the REA 101 module continuously monitors
the
operating voltages, the integrity of the cabling between the main module and the
extension modules, and the fiber-optic link connections between the main modules.
Any fault or malfunction detected by the self-supervision system will be used for
alerting the operator. A detected fault will block the module to prevent incorrect
operation.
—
TVOC
The Arc Guard TVOC-2 builds on the well-appreciated TVOC design and offers
unmatched arc monitoring. With over 35 years of experience, Arc Guard System™ has
become an industry standard in several key markets, helping to protect personnel
and businesses around the world. The TVOC-2 is an optical detection system that
together with an external breaker can limit the damage done to personnel and
equipment in case of an arc accident happening.
• DIN rail or wall-mounted possibilities
• HMI/COM Module can be mounted on the cabinet door and / or on the main unit
for easy access
• All connections accessible from front
• Pre calibrated optical sensors
The TVOC-2 system can be equipped with up to 30 optical sensors, enabling a single
unit to cover multiple switchboard cabinets. Once installed, the system is able to
detect arc initiation and, in less than one millisecond, send a signal to an Emax 2
circuit breaker to open.
Electrical operation for remote control

Electrically operated circuit breakers are provided with shunt trip, closing coil, and
motor operator. Voltage shall be specified; some of the most common selections
(other options available):
• 24 Vac/dc
• 48 Vac/dc
• 120 Vac/dc
Shunt trip/closing coil—YO/YC

The shunt trip and closing coil allow the circuit breaker to be controlled remotely.
Opening is always possible, while closing is available only when the closing springs
of the operating mechanism are loaded and the circuit breaker is ready to close.
The releases operate by means of a minimum impulse current duration time of 100
ms. They can also operate in permanent service. In such case, if an opening command
is given by means of the shunt trip, the circuit breaker can be closed by de-energizing
the shunt trip and (after a time of at least 30ms) by supplying a closing command.
Motor—M
The spring charge motor automatically loads the circuit breaker’s closing springs.
The device, which can be installed from the front, automatically reloads the operating
device’s springs when they are unloaded and power is present. In the event no power
is present, the springs can be manually loaded by a dedicated lever on the operating
device. The motor is always supplied with the limit switch contact S33 M/2 which
signals the status of the springs.
When requested, in order to control electrically operated circuit breakers by

ommunications, the Ekip Com Actuator module is provided. Ekip Com or Ekip Link
modules; are also required and installed on the front of the circuit breaker in the
right-hand accessories area.
The optional Ekip Supply module supplies all Ekip trip units and modules present on
the terminal box and of the circuit breaker with auxiliary power (in AC or DC) available
in the switchgear. The module is mounted in the terminal box and permits the
installation of other advanced modules. It can be field installed at any time.
Two versions are available according to the control voltage available:

• Ekip Supply 110-240V AC/DC
• Ekip Supply 24-48V DC
All accessories are automatically recognized by the Ekip units without the need for
any specific configuration.
Ekip Panel (HMI)

The Ekip Control Panel allows Emax 2 circuit breakers connected to the Ekip Link
system to be controlled and monitored remotely. It offers a 15" color LCD touchscreen
display in a package that is 15.08"/383mm wide, 12.09"/307mm high and 3.09"/78.5mm
deep. The panel is supplied already equipped with monitoring software and requires
no programming. Ekip Control Panel requires a 24V DC power supply and is
equipped with:
• 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports for connection to the Ekip Link system and to the local
network for remote control via web server option
• 1 RS485 serial port for integration of the Modbus network if it is to be used with
circuit breakers of the Tmax series
• 4 USB ports for downloading data
—
Remote racking device—RRD

The remote racking device allows racking-in and racking-out the Emax 2 circuit
breakers without being in front of the gear, thereby increasing the safety of the
personnel and reducing the risk of injuries due to any possible electric arc.
This device works with the circuit breaker open and with the spring discharged. The
cable length guarantees a far distance from the arc flash boundary for traditional LV
switchgear.
Advantages
• Increased personnel safety, thanks to the long distance between the circuit
breaker and the operator
• One single device for all the range of Emax 2 circuit breakers
• Ergonomic design allows easy mounting and removal of the device from the circuit
breaker
• All the positions can be reached: Connected/ Disconnected/Test position
Infrared viewing windows

Infrared windows are available for installation in the switchgear rear covers to
facilitate the use of IR cameras for thermally scanning cable terminations. The use of
the IR windows minimizes the exposure to live conductors while performing this type
of preventative maintenance inspection. Quantity and location of the IR windows are
dependent on the breaker stacking arrangement. Standard infrared window viewing
diameter is 75mm, with an option for a 100mm viewing window. Square infrared
viewing windows are also available in four-inch square dimensions. When possible,
one window may be used to measure connections for two breakers. One window per
breaker may also be installed, if required.
