2 - Selectivity between ABB SACE circuit-breakers
Foreword It is possible to obtain selectivity between ABB SACE circuit-breakers (including Emax 2).
There is selectivity in an installation when, in the event of an overload or short-circuit, it is possible to identify
and isolate the point of overload or fault by opening only some circuit-breakers to guarantee service continuity
to the installation.
NOTE: selectivity is recommended in all installations with multiple switchgears or circuit-
breakers connected, for example cascading or in a tree (with a main circuit-breaker on the
supply side, and other circuit-breakers downstream to protect areas on the other side). Thus,
only the circuit-breaker immediately upstream the overload or fault trips, and avoids opening
of the circuit-breakers further upstream.
Types of selectivity With ABB SACE electronic trip units selectivity can be:
• Current-based selectivity, activated in the event of over-current, and in which the protections of the
trip units are set with different current thresholds, based on the principle the closer the fault point is to the
power supply the greater the current will be.
• Time selectivity, activated in the event of a short-circuit in which the S protection normally trips, and in
which the protections of the trip units are set with different tripping times, so that with cascading circuit-
breakers the circuit-breakers further downstream open before those further upstream.
• Time-current selectivity, which is a combination of the previously mentioned types, and in which the
protections of the trip units are set so that the tripping times and current thresholds increase with proximity
to the power supply.
• Energy selectivity, which uses current-limiting circuit-breakers, characterized by extremely short tripping
times in the event of a short-circuit to avoid the current reaching the peak value (in the case of ABB SACE
circuit-breakers, for example, all the moulded-case circuit-breakers of the Tmax series and certain air
circuit-breakers of the Emax series are limiters).
• Zone Selectivity, which is an evolution of time selectivity, and in which is a dialog created between the
trip units by means of output and input blocking signals. For more information on Zone Selectivity with
ABB SACE circuit-breakers and in particular Emax 2, see the chapter “Specific applications" starting on
page 156.
Further documents For each type of selectivity, the protections must be set so that only those circuit-breakers capable of isolating
the overload or fault open, without the rest of the installation being de-energized. Relevant definitions, operating
principles, areas of application, advantages and disadvantages, requirements, indications for setting the
protections and examples are provided in the Technical Application Paper QT1 1SDC007100G0205 "Low
voltage selectivity with ABB circuit-breakers".

Introduction The operator interface of the Ekip Dip protection trip unit allows you to:
• Set the parameters relating to the available protections.
• View the status of the trip unit and alarms.
• Connect to the frontal connector to communicate and perform the opening test.
Components of the interface The Ekip Dip operator interface appears as follows:
Figure 2
The following table provides a description of the components of the interface:

R Test connector
IMPORTANT: the figure above refers to 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.
LEDs The LEDs are useful on Ekip Dip in order to distinguish and identify various types of information on the
protection trip unit, 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 trip unit:
• With the trip unit 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 trip unit 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 trip unit off, the operation of the LEDs is guaranteed if the internal battery of
the trip unit is working properly.

Continued from the previous page ABB | SACE Emax 2
About
The LEDs combined with the protections provide various information, through different combinations of
lighting and blinking.
NOTE: all the combinations related to protection LED signals are described in chapter Self-
diagnosis and signalling , on page 29.
The power-on LED provides information about the power status of the protection trip unit:
• LED on (default configuration) fixed or blinking, signals trip unit energized.
• LED off signals trip unit 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 trip unit 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 trip unit 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 trip unit 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.
iTest pushbutton The iTest pushbutton is useful for three operations:

• Perform tests (circuit-breaker opening test and LED test). Consult chapter 4 - Test18 - Test on page 28118.
• Reset the signal of the tripped protection. This operation can be performed when the circuit-breaker is
both open and closed and with currents present, by pressing the push-button for about 1 second (the
signal disappears when the push-button is released).
• With the trip unit off, check the information relating to the switch-off or tripping event.
NOTE: with the trip unit off, pressing of the iTest button switches on (for approximately 4
seconds):
• the power-on LED, if the trip unit is off due to an energy drop (primary current less than the
minimum level of operation, removal of auxiliary power supply with circuit-breaker open, etc…).
• the protection tripped LED if the trip unit is off due to a protection trip.
Test connector The test connector allows the connection of Ekip TT, Ekip T&P and Ekip Bluetooth modules, in order to
perform the following operations:
• Temporary energizing of the trip unit to check the status, and perform the trip test (option possible with
all the front interface modules).
• Analysis, supervision and setting of additional parameters through external communication test units (Ekip
T&P, Ekip Bluetooth).

t1 All the parameters that can be modified by the user affect the response curve, and related tripping times.
I Parameter Description
The value I1 contributes in calculating the tripping time, and also defines the current
value that, if exceeded, activates the protection (with reference to the curve, it is the
part parallel to the y-axis).
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 (with reference to the curve,
T1 affects the entire curve by shifting it as a whole along the y-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 between 420 A and
(1)
480 A.
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 Pre-alarm. See page 25.

S Protection S protection protects against selective short circuit.
NOTE: the protection is available for LSI and LSIG versions of the trip unit.
When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips within a fixed or dynamic time (the time
t I2 S decreases as the current reading increases).
Parameters
Parameter Description
I Enable By setting the threshold dip-switches to the Off position, the protection is disabled.
It 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 26.
It defines the current value that activates the protection when exceeded (with
reference to the curve, it is the part parallel to the y-axis).
IMPORTANT:
Threshold I2
• 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 (with reference to the
curve, t2 affects the entire curve, shifting it as a whole along the vertical axis).
Time t2
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 trip unit
is 0.4 s. If a higher value is set, the trip unit 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 25.

I Protection I protection protects against instantaneous short circuit.

When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips within a fixed non-adjustable time.
Parameters
t I3 I The user can set the intervention threshold.
t3 Enable By setting the threshold dip-switches to the Off position, the protection is disabled.
I Threshold I3
IMPORTANT: The I3 threshold set must be higher than the I2
threshold. An incorrect configuration returns an alarm signal.

G Protection G protection protects against a ground fault.
NOTE: the protection is available for the LSIG version of the trip unit.
t I4 G decreases as the current reading increases).
Parameters
I 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 trip unit under two
conditions:
• Disconnection of one or more current sensors.
• Current measured on one of the phases higher than a maximum value.
Enable
IMPORTANT: the maximum current value that deactivates G protection
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)
Type of curve
NOTE: calculation of the tripping time of the inverse time curve is based on a
IMPORTANT:
Threshold I4 • The delay is interrupted if the current drops below the tripping
threshold.
• For all the UL versions the maximum threshold allowed by the trip
unit is 1200 A. If a higher value is set, the trip unit signals the error and
forces the parameter to 1200 A.
• 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 (with reference to the
curve, t4 affects the entire curve, shifting it as a whole along the y-axis).
Time t4
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 trip unit is
0.4s. If a higher value is set, the trip unit signals the error and forces the
parameter to 0.4 s.
With the Ekip T&P or Ekip Bluetooth modules and with the Ekip Connect software, it is possible to adjust the
threshold of Pre-alarm. See page 25.
ABB | SACE Emax 2
Neutral and frequency Adjusting of the neutral setting is used to customize the L, S and I protections on the Neutral pole with a
control factor different from the other phases.
NOTE: use the adjustment of the neutral setting only with four-pole or three-pole circuit-
breakers with external neutral: with three-pole circuit-breakers and neutral protection active,
the trip unit 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.
By setting the threshold dip-switches to the Off position, the protection on the
Enable
Neutral is disabled.
Represented as a percentage; it defines the multiplication factor applied to the
tripping thresholds of the protections:
Threshold InN • 50%: trip threshold of the neutral current lower than other phases.
• 100%: same trip thresholds for all poles.
• 200%: trip threshold of the neutral current higher than other phases.
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 L protection in Amperes (example: In = 1000 A; I1 = 0.45 In = 450 A), InN is the
neutral threshold expressed as a multiplication factor (example: 2), Iu indicates the size of the circuit-breaker
(example: 1000 A).
ABB | SACE Emax 2
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
• T Protection
• 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.
NOTE: for correct calculation of the time between the various trips, the trip unit must have
been powered for at least one 1 second.
IMPORTANT: for the S protection the function can be activated if the selected curve
is time-dependent.
T Protection
T protection protects the circuit-breaker against abnormal temperatures recorded by the protection trip unit.
T protection is always active; via Ekip Connect it is possible to enable tripping, which takes place for
temperatures t < -25 °C or t > 85 °C.
Pre-alarm
The purpose of the pre-alarm, available for L and G protections, is to signal that the measured current is near
the activation threshold of the protection itself.
It is possible to set the pre-alarm threshold in order to establish the pre-alarm activation values; the pre-alarm
threshold is expressed as a percentage in relation to the protection thresholds (I1 and I4) and is adjustable
between 50% and 90% (default value).
Example: with I1 = 0.6 In and pre-alarm threshold L=50 %, the pre-alarm is activated for currents greater
than 0.3 In

The pre-alarm condition is activated for currents higher than the threshold set, and is deactivated for:
• Current less than the pre-alarm threshold.
• Current greater than the activation threshold of protection.
Hardware Trip
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 trip unit.
IMPORTANT: the protection trips if the error conditions persist for more than 1 second.

3 - Measurements
Introduction Measurements The Ekip Dip trip unit records various items of information, useful for analysis and consultation:
• Instantaneous measurements of phase currents
• Measurement of the maximum and minimum currents recorded with an adjustable interval
• Trip Log
• List of events, changes of state and alarms recorded by the trip unit
• Contact Wear value
• Number of mechanical and electrical operations.
NOTE: all the information is available with Ekip T&P and Ekip Bluetooth modules and with
the Ekip Connect software. The instantaneous measurements are also available with the Ekip
Multimeter switchgear unit.
Instantaneous currents The following table summarises the measurements of the instantaneous currents:
Type of Measurement Range Standard operation range Accuracy

Phase currents (I1, I2, I3, INe) 0.03…16 In 0.2…1.2 In 1%
NOTE: the precisions specified in the table refer to the range of normal operation
Maximum and minimum The trip unit 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 trip unit is able to record the last 30 openings of the circuit-breaker caused by protection functions (trips).
The trips include useful information:
• 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.
The contact wear is calculated automatically by the trip unit 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 trip unit records a series information relating to the openings of the
circuit-breaker:
• Number of manual operations
• Total number of operations (manual + trips)

6 - Ekip Dip: additional functions
Presentation Ekip T&P, Ekip Programming and Ekip Bluetooth allow the protection trip unit to be connected to Ekip
Connect software and to access parameters and commands that cannot be accessed directly from the front
interface: a description of the various functions is given below.
The additional protections available via Ekip Connect are described on page 25.
Maintenance The Maintenance function allows signalling to the user, via LED, that:
• One year has passed since the last maintenance.
• Contact wear has increased by more than 10% compared with the value at the last maintenance.
Via Ekip Connect there are two selections available:
• Activation: it allows to the maintenance function to be activated.
• Reset: it allows confirmation of maintenance on the trip unit; the present date and contact wear values
are recorded, and the signal is reset.
The reference date is that of the internal clock, and the elapsed time is calculated both with the trip unit on
and off (provided that the internal battery is working).
NOTE: manual modification of the date can cause variations in the calculation of the time
elapsed, and therefore in the date of the next maintenance.
NOTE: the maintenance signal due to increased contact wear is active for values higher than
20 %.
Local Bus In order to activate communication on the Local Bus with the Ekip Link, Ekip Multimeter or Ekip Signalling
10K modules, the Local Bus parameter must be enabled.
NOTE: communication with the modules is active if the auxiliary power supply is present.
Date and time The Ekip Dip trip unit has a user-adjustable internal clock.
Setting the date can be useful for some functions such as the recording of trips and minimum and maximum
currents, and maintenance.
The clock is active if the internal battery of the trip unit is working.

ABB | SACE Emax 2
Programmable States There are sixteen independent programmable states identified by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N,
O, P, Q, R, offering different solutions for event control.
The value of each programmable state can be either "True" or "False". Different configuration parameters are
available:
• Trigger: event or combination of more events of state activation (up to 24, in AND or OR logic configuration).
• On Delay: state activation delay calculated from trigger presence onwards.
• Off Delay: state de-activation delay calculated from trigger absence onwards.
NOTE: the state become activate if the trigger is present for longer than the On delay setting
and become inactive if the trigger is absent for longer than the Off delay setting.
Trigger State
Delay ON
Delay OFF
Delay ON Delay OFF
Programmable State
TRUE
FALSE
The states can be used with the external Ekip Signalling 10K module, on Link Bus or with the programmable
functions, to transfer the desired signalling combination on contacts.
Programmable Functions Ekip Dip allows you to program five commands so that they are automatically activated according to the
signalling state or the events selected by the user. The commands are:
• Trip
• Reset of the trip signal.
• Reset signalling contacts of the Ekip Signalling 10K module.
• Opening coil command (YO).
• Closing coil command (YC).
Each command provides two programming parameters:
• Activation function: event or events (up to eight, in logical AND or OR configuration) that activate the
command.
• Delay: command sending delay, calculated starting from the occurrence of the activation event.
NOTE: the command is sent if the event is present for a time greater than the delay that has
been set.
NOTE: the YO and YC commands are possible only if the coils and Ekip Actuator are present,
and if all the operating conditions exist (see page 118).

Circuit-breaker label and user Labels that can be configured by the user so as to facilitate remote identification of the trip unit; in detail the
Data CB label, the trip unit model and the communication address form the identifier used by Ekip Connect for
the devices connected.
Info Page Additional information page that can be activated and customized by the user. If activated, it can be accessed
on the display by pressing the iTest button twice from the main page.
NOTE: the pages can be configured with all the trip units for SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers,
but they can only be displayed via Ekip Touch.
Date of installation Installation date of the circuit-breaker.
Load Profile Timers SACE Emax 2 has 4 counters which display how long the maximum current measured has remained in each
percentage band.
The counters are expressed in seconds and the bands are: 0-49%In, 50-79%In, 80-89%In, >90%In.
Energy Store Time The counter indicates the time that has elapsed since the last energy metering reset.
It is active and updated in the presence of at least one of the following: auxiliary supply, supply by Ekip T&P
or supply by Ekip Measuring.
Led Alive The parameter allows the behaviour of the power-on LED indicator of the trip unit and of all modules that can
be connected to Ekip Supply to be changed. If activated:
• Trip unit: it comes on at a frequency of 0.5 Hz.
• Modules connected to Ekip Supply: if there are no communication errors, they synchronize with the flashes
of the trip unit LED.
If deactivated, the power-on leds on the respective devices come on with a steady light.
Open/Close Remote Direct The parameter controls two different command packages for remote circuit-breaker opening and closing:
Command • Enabled: commands 7 and 8 are valid (direct commands for CB Open and CB Close).
• Disabled: commands 7 and 8 are not valid.
IMPORTANT: in this case, remote circuit-breaker opening and closing can still be
obtained using the programmable YC COMMAND and YO COMMAND functions and
the Request circuit-breaker opening (28) and Request circuit-breaker closing (29)
commands.
Modules network settings It allows the communication parameters of the circuit-breaker to be controlled if the trip unit is replaced:
retention • Overwrite: the parameters of the new trip unit are valid, so it is advisable to make sure that the communication
parameter settings suit the communication network.
• Keep module data: the new trip unit updates its communication parameters with the ones in the Ekip
Com modules of the circuit-breaker, used up to that moment in the various communication networks.
The trip units are supplied with the parameter set as Overwrite.
Wink The command allows the power-on LED on the protection trip unit to flash at 3 Hz so as to physically identify
a trip unit that would not be identifiable in other ways.
3 Hz flashing is disabled by sending another Wink command or by switching off the trip unit.
Glitch The commands of Glitch 16 to 23 activate the respective glitch registers, which can be used for customizing
programmable functions or output contacts.

9 - Touch protections
Presentation Touch protections are available in all models of trip units of the Ekip Touch range.
The presence of each single protection depends on the version of the trip unit, as specified in the following
paragraphs.
List of protections
Touch protections:
Symbol Protection against
L Overload with inverse long-time delay
S Selective short-circuit
I Instantaneous short-circuit
G Earth fault with adjustable delay
2I Programmable instantaneous short-circuit
MCR Instantaneous short-circuit on closing of the circuit-breaker
IU Current unbalance
Hardware Trip Circuit-breaker internal connection error
Harmonic Distortion Distorted waveforms
Current thresholds Programmable signal thresholds
T Temperature outside range
Neutral Neutral protection
The trip units of SACE Emax 2 series also guarantee a non-adjustable fixed protection against instantaneous
short-circuit at high currents, called Iinst.
Operating principle
The protections have a series of parameters available allowing the user to adjust the activation thresholds and
the opening times of the circuit-breaker.
The operating principle of all the protections is similar: if the current exceeds the set protection threshold, the
specific protection will enter the alarm condition and will begin to delay.
The duration of the delay depends on the threshold and time parameters set, and depending on the dynamic
of the current two behavoiurs are possible:
• If the alarm condition persists, the trip unit opens the circuit-breaker.
• If the current drops below the protection threshold, the trip unit exits from the alarm condition, interrupts
the delay and does not make the circuit-breaker open.
The protection thresholds refer to the rated current of the Rating Plug (In).
IMPORTANT:
• To manage the circuit-breaker tripping with a specific protection, the protection itself
must be enabled and, if supported, must have the Trip Enable parameter activated.
• All the protections have a default configuration: if enabled, check the parameters and
make the necessary changes according to the requirements of your installation.

When the activation threshold is exceeded, the protection trips in a time that decreases as the current read
increases.

Parameters
Here is a list of the available parameters:
It determines the dynamic of the curve and the calculation of the tripping time,
conforming to various reference standards:
• t = k / I 2 according to IEC 60947-2.
• IEC 60255-151 SI
• IEC 60255-151 VI
• IEC 60255-151 EI
Curve • t = k / I 4 according to IEC 60255-151
Each function corresponds to a mathematical expression that allows the tripping
time to be calculated. The details of the expressions are provided in the table on
page 73.
IMPORTANT: if from the calculation the tripping time turns out to be

less than 1 second, it is automatically limited to 1 second.
value that, if exceeded, activates the protection (with reference to the curve, it is the
part parallel to the y-axis).
It is represented both as an absolute value (Ampere) and as a relative value (In,
nominal value defined by the Rating Plug).
Threshold I1
IMPORTANT: the protection is activated and starts timing for currents
between 1.05 and 1.2 of the I1 threshold set. Example (with I1 set = 400
A): the protection is activated for currents read between 420 A and 480
A.
The value T1 contributes to calculate the tripping time (with reference to the curve,
T1 affects the entire curve shifting it 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.
The prealarm of L allows notification that the measured current is near the activation
threshold of the protection.
The prealarm state is activated for currents higher than a threshold that can be set
I1 Prealarm by the user, and is deactivated in two cases:
• Current lower than the prealarm threshold.
• Current higher than the protection activation threshold.
A value within the 50 % ... 90 % range can be entered, with 1 % steps.

Path
Function
The purpose of the neutral protection is to characterize the protections L, S and I on the Neutral pole with a
control factor different from the other phases.
IMPORTANT: the protection is available with four-pole circuit-breakers or three-pole
circuit-breakers with external neutral.
Parameters
This parameter is available with three-pole circuit-breakers and makes it possible
Configuration to activate (3 P + N setting) or deactivate (3 P setting) the presence of the external
neutral.

configured with external neutral), the neutral current measurement is available
even when the protection is deactivated.
Represented as a percentage; it defines the multiplication factor applied to the
tripping thresholds of the protections:
• 50%: trip threshold of the neutral current lower than other phases.
Neutral threshold
• 100%: same trip thresholds for all poles.
Limitations
The adjustment of the neutral threshold to values of 200% and 150% must be performed considering the
following formula: (I1 x InN) ≤ Iu
I1 indicates the threshold of L protection in Amperes (example: In = 1000 A; I1 = 0.45 In = 450 A), InN is the
neutral threshold expressed as a multiplication factor (example: 2), Iu indicates the size of the circuit-breaker
(example: 1000 A).
ABB | SACE Emax 2
Iinst The purpose of this protection is to maintain the integrity of the circuit-breaker and installation in the case
of particularly high current values requiring shorter reaction times than those provided by the instantaneous
short-circuit-protection.
The protection cannot be disabled, and the tripping threshold and time are defined by ABB.
Additional functions
Functions
For some protections there are functions available that extend the functionality:
Protection L S I G MCR IU T
Thermal memory x x
Trip Enable x x x x
Zone Selectivity x x
StartUp enable x x x
Blocks x x x x
Thermal Memory
This function reduces the tripping time of the protection based on the time elapsed between multiple trips
caused by heating of the cables.
IMPORTANT: the parameter can be activated if the function of the selected protection
is t = k / I 2.
Trip enable
It disables the opening command in order to use the protection as an alarm signal, without opening commands.
Zone Selectivity
The function allows multiple circuit-breakers in the same installation to be connected together, in order to
coordinate the trip units and to reduce the tripping times in the case of S and G protections.
The function allows circuit-breakers to be coordinated so that, in the event of a failure:
• The circuit-breaker closest to the fault trips.
• The other circuit-breakers are locked for a programmable time.
For further information see the chapter "1 - Zone Selectivity" on page 156.
StartUp enable
The function allows you to modify the threshold of the protection for a period that can be set by the user. The
period is activated when a threshold is exceeded (startup threshold), which can be programmed by the user
via Ekip Connect software.
IMPORTANT:
• Startup can be activated with a fixed time protection function (t = k).

• The I3 startup threshold must be higher than the I2 startup threshold.
Protection blocks
With Ekip Connect software six blocks are available for some protections, useful for deactivating the protection
based on programmable events.
In particular, four blocks are associated with the programmable states A, B, C and D:
• BlockOnProgStatusA
• BlockOnProgStatusB
• BlockOnProgStatusC
• BlockOnProgStatusD
One block is associated to the startup (present for protections that have a StartUp function):
• BlockOnStartUp
and one block, not present for frequency protections, is associated with the checking of the measured
frequency:
• BlockOnOutOfFrequency
Each block is independent and has its own activation command (Block On).
The protection is deactivated for a time equal to the duration of the event itself:
• If the programmed event occurs (true), in the case of state-based blocks.
• If the StartUp function is active and the startup threshold is exceeded (block active for the startup time
that has been set), in the case of blocking from StartUp.
• If at least one frequency measured is outside the range 30…80 Hz, in the case of a frequency-based block.
IMPORTANT: the blocks can cause:
• Increase of the tripping times of the protections (max: + 30 ms), due to the occurrence
of the event in question (example: frequency check).
• undesired deactivation of the protection, if the block is associated to states or signals
from modules on the local bus and the auxiliary power supply is absent. In this case,
it can be useful to program the event also taking account of the state of the auxiliary
power supply (Supply from Vaux).
• undesired deactivation of the protection, if the block is associated to frequency
measurements, and the voltage is less than the minimum calculation threshold (30 or
60 V, see page 288).
IMPORTANT: during startup, if the function is activated, the blocks are deactivated.

of the signal we can have two behaviours:
• If the signal drops below the protection threshold, the trip unit exits from the alarm condition, interrupts
the delay and doesn't open the circuit-breaker.
The protection thresholds are distinguished by type:
• The voltage protections are related to the rated size of the voltage line-to-line set on the trip unit (Un).
• The frequency protections are related to the frequency set on the trip unit (fn).
• The power protections refer to the product of current and rated voltage (Sn = √3 * In * Un).

t7fw NOTE: the protection does not detect the direction of fault current for < 5 V voltages.
I Operating principle
The direction of the fault current detected is compared with the reference direction for the fault
current (forward direction).
This reference direction matches the set power flow value in nominal conditions, provided that the phase

This is the delay time between the exceeding of the I7 threshold and the sending of

The direction of the fault is calculated by the trip unit according to the phase
difference angle between the reactive and apparent powers measured: when the
phase-difference becomes greater than the parameter Min Angle Direction set, the
Direction Min
trip unit considers the direction of the fault to have been identified.
Angle
NOTE: There are 15 preset values available, in a range from 3.6° to 69.6°.

D protection has Trip Enable, Directional Zone Selectivity, Startup Enable, see page 88.
Via Ekip Connect it is possible to access further parameters:
• Blocking functions, see page 72 for operation details.
• Trip only Forward: if it is activated, protection D manages opening commands only if forward direction
is detected
• Trip only Backward: if it is activated, protection D manages opening commands only if backward
direction is detected
Notes
By activating the directional D protection, the alarm that checks the phase sequence is automatically set
(it can however also be bypassed and activated manually): note that in the event of a cyclical sequence of
phases different from the set value, the directional protection inverts the reference direction in the case of a
fault whenever different from the expected one.
NOTE: the details of the phase sequence protection are available on page 79.
The behavior of the directional protection is influenced in the case of small overloads by the load type: in the
case of a capacitive load, to avoid the possibility of incorrect identification of the fault current direction, this
protection should be adjusted in relation to real fault conditions and not to overloads.
WARNING! Parameters and application notes are valid with protection trip units
updated to SW version 2.00 (or later versions).

Trip Enable x x x x x
Zone Selectivity x
StartUp enable x x
Directional Zone Selectivity x
Blocks x x x x x
Trip enable
It disables the opening command in order to use the protection as an alarm signal, without opening commands.
Zone Selectivity
The function allows multiple circuit-breakers in the same installation to be connected together, in order to
coordinate the trip units and to reduce the tripping times in the case of S2 protection.
The function allows circuit-breakers to be coordinated so that, in the event of a failure:
• The circuit-breaker closest to the fault trips.
• The other circuit-breakers are locked for a programmable time.
For further details see the chapter "Specific applications" on page 156.
Startup enable
The function allows you to modify the threshold of the protection for a period that can be set by the user. The
period is activated when a threshold is exceeded (startup threshold), which can be programmed by the user
via Ekip Connect software.
NOTE: for protection D the startup thresholds are available for both forward and backward
direction.
Directional Zone Selectivity

The function allows, as with Zone Selectivity, multiple circuit-breakers in the same installation to be connected
together, in order to coordinate the trip units and reduce tripping times, but with some important differences:
• It is to be used in installations with loop circuit.
• It allows tripping to be managed and coordinated according to the power flows (determined by the direction
of the current), in order to minimize dispersion of energy.
NOTE: Directional Zone Selectivity works as an alternative to S and G Zone Selectivity.

I21 S2(V) Function
S2(V) protection:
• It protects against short circuits, with a threshold sensitive to the value of the voltage.
• It is independent from S(V) protection: it is therefore possible to program thresholds and functions of the
two protections in order to have different installation solutions (for example: signalling with S(V) and trip
t21 with S(V)2, or vice versa, or S(V) and S(V)2 both for signalling or trip).
When the activation threshold I21 is exceeded, the protection trips within a fixed time t21.
Following a voltage drop, the I21 threshold varies according to two different modes:
I • Step Mode provides for variation in steps according to the Ul2 parameter.
• Linear Mode provides for dynamic variation base on the parameters Ul2 and Uh2.

14 - External toroid protections
Presentation The presence of SGR external toroids and Rc allows the use of Gext and Rc protections respectively.
External toroids can be connected to all versions of the protection trip units of the Touch range.
NOTE: the Rc protection RC requires the presence of an Rc Rating Plug and an Ekip Measuring
Pro module.
List of protections

Gext Earth fault on external toroid with adjustable delay
Rc Residual current
Operating principle
The operating principle of all the protections is similar: if the current exceeds the protection threshold that has
been set, the specific protection enters the alarm condition and starts timing.
The duration of the delay depends on the threshold and time parameters set, and two cases can be
distinguished according to the dynamics of the current:
• If the current drops below the protection threshold, the trip unit exits from the alarm condition, interrupts
the delay and does not make the circuit-breaker open.
For the Gext protection the protection threshold is related to the size of the current of the of the SGR external
toroid and, for the Rc protection, to of preset current values.
IMPORTANT:
• All the protections have a default configuration: in the event of activation, check the
parameters and make changes according to the requirements of your installation.

to the selection:

Curve
• t = k / I 2 (ANSI 51G): inverse time tripping.
The calculation of the tripping time of the inverse time curve is based on a mathematical
expression. The details provided in the table on page 104.
The value I41 contributes to calculate the tripping time, and also defines the current value
that, if exceeded, activates the protection.
Threshold I41
It is represented both as an absolute value (Amperes) and as a relative value (In, nominal
value defined by the size of the SGR external toroid).
• t = k: t41 is the delay time between the exceeding of the I41 threshold and the sending
Time t41
of the opening command.
• t = k / I 2: t41 contributes to calculate the tripping time.
The prealarm of the Gext protection indicates that the current measured is close to the
tripping threshold of the protection.
The prealarm state is activated for currents higher than a threshold that can be set by the
I41 Prealarm
user, and is deactivated in two cases:

• Detected current lower than the prealarm threshold.
• Detected current higher than the protection tripping threshold.

Contact Wear
Path
Main page - Menu - Measurement - Maintenance
Description
Contact wear gives an estimation of the conditions of the circuit-breaker's main contacts.
The value is expressed as a percentage, and is 0 % in the case of no wear, and 100 % in the case of total
wear.
The contact wear is calculated automatically by the trip unit at every opening for protection or, in the presence
of an auxiliary power supply, also at every manual opening of the circuit-breaker.
NOTE:
• On reaching 100%, the percentage is not increased any further.

• Reaching of 80% is signalled with a prealarm, while reaching of 100% is signalled with an alarm.
IMPORTANT: 100% wear doesn't involve any functional limit for the trip unit, but the
condition of the circuit-breaker must be checked as soon as possible.
Datalogger
Path
Main page - Menus - Settings
Description
The datalogger it is a function that allows the recording of data associated to a trigger event.
The data recorded are:
• Analog measurements: phase currents and line-to-line voltages (if the Ekip Measuring or Ekip Measuring
Pro module is present).
• Digital events: protection alarms, circuit-breaker state signals, tripping of protections.
When the datalogger is activated, the protection trip unit continuously acquires data, by filling and emptying
an internal buffer. If a trigger event occurs, the trip unit inhibits acquisition (either immediately or with a time-
lag that can be adjusted by the user) and stores the data, which can then be downloaded to a PC for reading
and analysis.
IMPORTANT: the function is available with trip unit energized with auxiliary voltage.

• A high frequency allows a more accurate analysis of the data.
• The higher the frequency, the shorter the recording.
It allows the user to set the parameters and to manually command recording number

• Stop Source: it selects the trigger event, on the occurrence of which the recording
is to be stopped.
• Stop Delay: it sets the delay after the trigger event after which recording is to be
Datalogger 1 stopped
• Restart command: it starts recording.
• Stop command: it stops the recording and saves it in memory.
IMPORTANT: the recording can only be downloaded with the Ekip

Connect application.
The selection of two recordings activates additional parameters and commands:

Datalogger 2 Like Datalogger 1, but relevant to recording number 2.
Restart all It starts both the recordings.
Stop All It stops both the recordings and saves them in memory.
With Ekip Connect software it is possible to select the parameter Memory Type, not available on the display.
Such parameter allows to choose whether to keep the recording also with the trip unit off (non-volatile) or to
delete it if the auxiliary power disappears (volatile).
NOTE: the parameter is configured by default as non-volatile.
• If Memory Type = Non volatile, the life of the internal battery of Ekip Touch may be sensibly lower
than the declared value in case a recording is stored but auxiliary power supply is not present.
• If the Memory Type is Volatile and the auxiliary supply is lost, the datalogger will rerun the
recording when re-powered and the previously memorized data will be lost.

• V Harm Analysis: to activate the analysis of the voltage harmonics.
Voltage sequences
There are three alarm counters:
• Over voltages: it records the number of times that the average value of the positive sequence (with the
rotation direction of the phases set: 1-2-3) or negative sequence (with the rotation direction of the phases
set: 3-2-1) calculated in the set interval exceeds a certain threshold.
• Under voltages: it records the number of times that the average value of the positive sequence (with the
rotation direction of the phases set: 1-2-3) or negative sequence (with the rotation direction of the phases
set: 3-2-1) calculated in the set interval drops below a threshold.
• Unbalance: it counts the number of times that the average value of the ratio between positive on negative
sequence (with the rotation direction 3-2-1) and negative on positive sequence (1-2-3) calculated in the
set interval rises above a certain threshold.
Parameters that can be set for the check are:
It defines the upper alarm threshold for the Overvoltage counter.
V Threshold High
It is expressed as % Un.
It defines the lower alarm threshold for the Undervoltage counter.
V Threshold Low

In the settings menu you can set the Monitor time parameter, which defines the time interval between
subsequent measurements.
NOTE: the monitor time is the same parameter available for the maximum current and voltage
measurements.
The positive and negative sequence counters are available on the display.
The checking is completed by these available measurements:
• Positive sequence relating to the period in progress (V pos seq).
• Negative sequence relating to the period in progress (V neg seq).
• Positive sequence calculated on the last period (Last V pos seq).
• Negative sequence calculated on the last period (Last V neg seq).
• Positive sequence calculated in last the 3 seconds (V pos seq).
• Negative sequence calculated in last the 3 seconds (V neg seq).
• Unbalance.
NOTE: The measurements of the sequences are available following the path: Main page -
Menus - Measurements - Network Analyzer- V Sequences - V 3s Sequences.
NOTE: the unbalance value measured by the protection trip unit stops when it reaches 200
%.
Short voltage interruption

The short duration voltage drop is to be understood as a decrease in the RMS value of the line-to-line voltage
below the set threshold, for a duration less than 40 ms.
NOTE: Since the counter is based on the calculation of the RMS value, two sudden drops
in voltage of equal duration may be evaluated differently depending on when they occur (see
the attached example).
Drop detected Drop not detected
t t
The alarm threshold available in the menu, V microinterr. Th, is expressed as %Un.
The cumulative (V microinterr.) and last day counters are available in the corresponding menus.
Short duration voltage increases

The short duration voltage increase is to be understood as an increase in the RMS value of the line-to-line
voltage above the set threshold, for a duration less than 40 ms.
NOTE: Since the counter is based on the calculation of the RMS value, two rapid increases
in voltage of equal duration may be evaluated differently depending on their amplitude (see
the attached example).
Increase detected Increase not detected
t t
The alarm threshold available in the menu, V Spike Threshold, is expressed as %Un.
The cumulative (Peaks) and last-day counters are available in the corresponding menus.
Slow voltage drops

Slow voltage drops are the lowering of any line-to-line voltage, under one of the set thresholds, for a duration
greater than the set time.
The parameters that can be set for the control are available in the Sags submenu:
It defines the first alarm threshold.
V sag Th Short
It is expressed as %Un.
In the event of dropping under the first alarm threshold, it defines the time
V sag dur short

V sag dur middle
time beyond which the alarm counter is increased.
It defines the third alarm threshold.
V sag Th Long
In the event of dropping under the third alarm threshold, it defines the
V sag dur long
time beyond which the alarm counter is increased.
NOTE:
• The trip unit accepts the parameters in accordance with the following limitation: V dur short <=
V dur middle <= V dur long.
• Since an event may belong to more typologies, only the counter corresponding to the longest
duration is incremented (long > middle > short).
Cumulative counters (Short sags, Medium sags, Long sags) and those of the last-day counters are available
in the respective menus.
Slow voltage increases

The slow voltage increase is the rise of any line-to-line voltage above one of the set thresholds, for a duration
longer than the set time.
The parameters that can be set for the control are available in the Swells submenu:
It defines the first alarm threshold.
V swell Th Short
In the event of rising above the first alarm threshold, it defines the time
V swell dur short
beyond which incremented.
It defines the second alarm threshold.
V swell Th Long
In the event of rising above the second alarm threshold, it defines the time
V swell dur long
beyond which incremented.
NOTE:
• The trip unit accepts the parameters in accordance with the following limitation: V dur short <=
V dur long.
• Since an event may belong to more typologies, only the counter corresponding to the longest
duration is incremented (long > short).
Cumulative counters (Short sags, Long sags) and those of the last-day counters are available in the respective
menus.
Harmonic distortion
The Harmonic Distortion check regards line-to-line voltages and the phase currents, and is of two types:
• If the single harmonic components (different from the fundamental ones) have an amplitude greater than
the set value, an alarm is activated and displayed (Harmonic V Over Th / Harmonic I Over Th).
• If the total distortion is greater than the set value an alarm is activated and displayed (THD V Over Th /
THD I Over Th), and the THD meter is incremented by the total minutes during which the threshold was
exceeded.
NOTE: The counter stops at 65535 minutes.
Parameters that can be set for the check are:

21 - Additional Ekip Touch functions
Functional characteristics The Ekip Touch trip unit, in addition to the protection and measurement menus, also allows various operating
and configuration parameters to be set on the screen:
• Line frequency, to set the installation frequency.
• Remote / Local Mode, to set the operating mode and enable editing of parameters and sending remote
commands.
• Local Bus, to enable communication with the terminal modules and communication on the Local Bus.
• Harmonics, to enable the calculation of current and voltage harmonics.
• Power controller, to enable the function Ekip Power Controller.
• Programmable functions, to combine the modification of parameters and configurations to the
programmable inputs of Ekip Signalling modules.
• System, to modify system data such as date, time, language and password.
• Maintenance, to optimize maintenance operations on the circuit-breaker.
Line frequency The adjustment of the frequency setting is used to set the installation frequency.
In the menu Settings - Main frequency two configurations are available: 50 and 60 Hz.
NOTE: the measurements of voltages and currents are performed according to the grid
frequency set. A wrong setting could cause protection and measurement anomalies.
Local/Remote In the menu Settings - Modules - Local/Remote you can enable the modification of the parameters and
sending of certain commands remotely, via Ekip Com communication modules.
Enabling Remote Configuration inhibits changing of parameters from display, with the exception of the
parameter Local / Remote.
NOTE: in Remote configuration the inhibition of changes is active if:
• The trip unit is connected to one auxiliary power supply.

• Ekip Com modules are present.
Local Bus In the menu Settings - Modules - Local Bus you can enable the Local Bus line to allow communication with
all modules mounted on the terminal block or switchgear.
NOTE: the Local Bus alarm is signalled if the trip unit is powered by Ekip Supply, but no
module is connected and the Local Bus parameter is enabled.
Harmonics Hi-Touch and G Hi-Touch trip unit versions, in the menu Measurements - Harmonic allow you to enable the
check on the current and voltage harmonics.
The harmonics are essential for:
• Network Analyzer function.
• Waveform measurement.
Power Controller The description of Ekip Power Controller function is available beginning from page 131.

ABB | SACE Emax 2
Programmable functions It is possible to program eight commands, with automatic activation based on signals or events.
The commands are:
Command type Path
Trip Advanced - Functions
Change protection set (from Set A to Set B) Advanced - Functions
Change configuration (from Remote to Local) Settings - Modules - Functions
Reset the contacts of the signalling modules Settings - Modules - Functions
Opening coil command (YO). Settings - Functions
Closing coil command (YC). Settings - Functions
Reset energy counters Measurements - Energies - Function
Reset of the trip signal Advanced - Functions
Each command provides two programming parameters:

• Activation function: event or events (up to eight, in logical AND or OR configuration) that activate the
command.
• Delay: command sending delay, calculated starting from the occurrence of the activation event.
NOTE: the command is sent if the event is present for a time greater than the delay that has
been set.
NOTE: the YO and YC commands are possible only if the coils are present and if all the
operating conditions exist (circuit-breaker open).
System In the menu Settings - System some system parameters are available:
Date, to set the current date.
Time, to set the current time
Language, to set the language of the menus.
Password, in order to reconfigure the password.
NOTE: the date and time are maintained thanks to an internal battery in the trip unit. In the
event of date and time fault, you are advised to follow the procedure for replacement of the
battery.
Maintenance The Maintenance function allows the user to be alerted by a Warning alarm that:
• One year has passed since the last maintenance.
• Contact wear has increased by more than 10% compared with the value at the last maintenance.
There are two areas available on the display:
• Activation area (Main page - Menus - Settings - Maintenance): it allows the maintenance function to be
activated.
• Measurements and reset area (Main page - Menus - Measurements - Maintenance): it appears only if the
maintenance function is activated; it provides information related to maintenance (contact wear and dates)
and the command for confirming that maintenance has been carried out (by confirming, the current date
and contact wear values are recorded, and the alarm signal is reset).
The reference date is that of the internal clock, and the elapsed time is calculated both with the trip unit on
and off (provided that the internal battery is working).
NOTE: manual modification of the date can cause variations in the calculation of the time
elapsed, and therefore in the date of the next maintenance.
NOTE: the maintenance signal due to increased contact wear is active for values higher than
20 %.
ABB | SACE Emax 2
Additional options via remote / Ekip T&P, Ekip Programming and Ekip Bluetooth allow the protection trip unit to be connected to Ekip
front control Connect software and to access parameters and commands that cannot be accessed directly from the front
interface.
Parameters, measurements and commands are also available when communication is activated via Ekip Com
modules.
A description of the different functions is given below.
Programmable States There are sixteen independent programmable states identified by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N,
O, P, Q, R, offering different solutions for event control.
The value of each programmable state can be either "True" or "False". Different configuration parameters are
available:
• Trigger: event or combination of more events of state activation (up to 24, in AND or OR logic configuration).
• On Delay: state activation delay calculated from trigger presence onwards.
• Off Delay: state de-activation delay calculated from trigger absence onwards.
NOTE: the state become activate if the trigger is present for longer than the On delay setting
and become inactive if the trigger is absent for longer than the Off delay setting.
State
Trigger
Delay ON
Delay OFF
Delay ON Delay OFF
State
Programmable
TRUE
FALSE
The states can be used with the external Ekip Signalling 10K module, on Link Bus or with the programmable
functions, to transfer the desired signalling combination on contacts.
Filters Measuring filters can be activated on channels G / S.G.R. / Rc and V0:

• GTE filter: available if the trip unit is the LSIG version, or if there is an external toroid (SGR or Rc).
• V0 filter: available in the presence of Ekip Measuring Pro and active neutral connection (see paragraph "
Access from the display" on page 215).
If the filter is activated, the specific measurements and protections (G, Gext and Rc for GTE filter, and V0 for
V0 filter) are treated differently: the trip unit applies a bandpass filter to the signal in order to measure only the
fundamental component (50 or 60 Hz).
Circuit-breaker label and user Labels that can be configured by the user so as to facilitate remote identification of the trip unit; in detail the
Data CB label, the trip unit model and the communication address form the identifier used by Ekip Connect for
the devices connected.
Info Page Additional information page that can be activated and customized by the user. If activated, it can be accessed
on the display by pressing the iTest button twice from the main page.
NOTE: the pages can be configured with all the trip units for SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers,
but they can only be displayed via Ekip Touch.
ABB | SACE Emax 2
Date of installation Installation date of the circuit-breaker.
Load Profile Timers SACE Emax 2 has 4 counters which display how long the maximum current measured has remained in each
percentage band.
The counters are expressed in seconds and the bands are: 0-49%In, 50-79%In, 80-89%In, >90%In.
Energy Store Time The counter indicates the time that has elapsed since the last energy metering reset.
It is active and updated in the presence of at least one of the following: auxiliary supply, supply by Ekip T&P
or supply by Ekip Measuring.
Led Alive The parameter allows the behaviour of the power-on LED indicator of the trip unit and of all modules that can
be connected to Ekip Supply to be changed. If activated:
• Trip unit: it comes on at a frequency of 0.5 Hz.
• Modules connected to Ekip Supply: if there are no communication errors, they synchronize with the flashes
of the trip unit LED.
If deactivated, the power-on leds on the respective devices come on with a steady light.
Open/Close Remote Direct The parameter controls two different command packages for remote circuit-breaker opening and closing:
Command • Enabled: commands 7 and 8 are valid (direct commands for CB Open and CB Close).
• Disabled: commands 7 and 8 are not valid.
IMPORTANT: in this case, remote circuit-breaker opening and closing can still be
obtained using the programmable YC COMMAND and YO COMMAND functions and
the Request circuit-breaker opening (28) and Request circuit-breaker closing (29)
commands.
Modules network settings It allows the communication parameters of the circuit-breaker to be controlled if the trip unit is replaced:
retention • Overwrite: the parameters of the new trip unit are valid, so it is advisable to make sure that the communication
parameter settings suit the communication network.
• Keep module data: the new trip unit updates its communication parameters with the ones in the Ekip
Com modules of the circuit-breaker, used up to that moment in the various communication networks.
The trip units are supplied with the parameter set as Overwrite.
Change Double Set of If activated, it allows the modification of the parameter set even when delay alarms are in progress. Disabled
parameters always by default.
Repeat zone selectivity S/G HW If Enabled, the propagation logic of HW signals for zone selectivity applies in accordance with the table
in the Technical Application Paper QT1. 1SDC007100G0205; if Disabled the HW selectivity signal is not
propagated by the protection trip unit.
Zone selectivity input functions The zone selectivity inputs and some outputs can be configured in this section:
• Standard: input or output operation as per standard zone selectivity logic (see 1SDC007100G0205 or
1SDC007401G0201); all selectivity functions have the Standard setting.
• Customized: the event that activates the zone selectivity input or output can be selected.
IMPORTANT: in the Customized configuration, the only zone selectivity activation
event is the one set and therefore standard selectivity operation is not active
(modification should only be performed by expert technical personnel).
ABB | SACE Emax 2
Wink The command allows the power-on LED on the protection trip unit to flash at 3 Hz so as to physically identify
a trip unit that would not be identifiable in other ways.
3 Hz flashing is disabled by sending another Wink command or by switching off the trip unit.
Glitch The commands of Glitch 16 to 23 activate the respective glitch registers, which can be used for customizing
programmable functions or output contacts.
Wizard Reset Reset Wizard: the Wizard window appears the first time the trip unit comes on and can be used to enter
some of the trip unit and circuit-breaker parameters.

Specific applications
1 - Zone Selectivity
Description Zone Selectivity is an evolution of time selectivity (see chapter "2 - Selectivity between ABB SACE circuit-
breakers"), in which a dialog is created between the trip units through input and output blocking signals: an
active input blocking signal means that the circuit-breaker must remain closed.
Specifically, if a trip unit with the function enabled detects a fault current higher than the threshold set for a
particular protection, it activates the output blocking signal for the protection and, before opening, checks
the corresponding input blocking signal:
• If the input is not active, the trip unit opens with a delay equal to the selectivity time set for the protection
(which must be lower than the protection tripping time).
• If the input is active, it opens only if the fault persists and with a delay equal to the tripping time of the
protection.
Zone Selectivity can be enabled via cabling (Hardware Selectivity) with ABB SACE circuit-breakers, not
Emax 2, where available.
Besides Hardware Selectivity, SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers allow Logic Selectivity to be configured using
the communication via Link Bus between releases equipped with Ekip Link module. For further details,
consult paragraph “Zone Selectivity with SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers".
Zone Selectivity with ABB SACE With electronic trip units not for ABB SACE Emax 2:
circuit-breakers • Zone selectivity can be implemented only for protections S G and D (Directional).
• If the function is available, the circuit-breaker is equipped with two blocking outputs and two blocking
inputs that is, one output and one input for each S and G protection), or as an alternative two outputs
and two inputs for protection D (one output and one input per direction).
• Since only two blocking outputs and two blocking inputs are available, Zone Selectivity for protections S
and G and Directional Zone Selectivity are mutually excluding (to implement Directional Zone Selectivity,
the S and G protections must be disabled, and vice versa).
• To actuate Zone Selectivity, the releases must be equipped with auxiliary voltage to activate the outputs.
• Each S G and D protection has two selectivity parameters: the function enabling parameter and selectivity
time, meaning the opening time of the circuit-breaker if the selectivity input is not active.
• The blocking outputs and inputs are considered active if the level is high (equal to the auxiliary voltage).
• For protection D, the selectivity time to be set is the same for both directions.

To obtain Zone Selectivity, the protections must be set, and the blocking outputs and must be wired, so that
only those circuit-breakers capable of isolating the overload or fault without the rest of the installation being
de-energized open. Regarding this:
• For each type of selectivity, definitions, operating principles, application fields, advantages and disadvantages,
requirements, indications for setting the protections and examples are provided in the Technical Application
Paper QT1 1SDC007100G0205 "Low voltage selectivity with ABB circuit-breakers".
• For Directional Selectivity, application examples are available in the White Paper 1SDC007401G0201
“Directional protection and directional zone selectivity”.
156 | © 2018 ABB | 1SDH001330R0002 - ECN000086018 - Rev. B Specific applications | 1 - Zone Selectivity
ABB | SACE Emax 2
Zone Selectivity with SACE With SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers, Zone Selectivity can be implemented:
Emax 2 circuit-breakers • If the circuit-breakers are equipped with Ekip LCD or Touch trip units (including Hi-, G, and G Hi- trip units).
• For protections S, G, D, S2, Gext (availability depends on the trip unit model).
Hardware Selectivity operation is the same as that described in the previous section for SACE circuit-breakers
other than Emax2, except for the addition of S2 and Gext in the list of protections supported.
NOTE: S2 and Gext share the same selectivity inputs/outputs of S and G, respectively. If
several protections are active with the same channels (e.g.: S and S2) the trip unit controls
the inputs and outputs with OR logic: configure the parameters with care to avoid undesired
signals or actions.
Logic Selectivity, which is available in the presence of Ekip Link modules, has different advantages:
• Each protection is independent. There are no cases of shared or exclusive channels/bits (example: selectivity
D can be actuated without disabling protections S and G).
• Each device connected to Link Bus can be customized with many propagation parameters, mask, diagnosis.
Use of both types of selectivity or just logic selectivity can be selected on trip unit for each protection.
NOTE: for details on how to associate trip units connected to the same Link Bus, see the
chapter "14 - Ekip Link module”.
Logic selectivity: setting

For each protection for which you wish to implement Zone Selectivity, you must set the function enabling
among the available parameters. Then, in addition to these parameters, the selectivity time is also activated
for the setting.
Otherwise, Zone Selectivity can only be set up via the Ekip Connect software (see the chapter "17 - Other
accessories", and the paragraph "Ekip Connect software"). Specifically:
• Logic selectivity can be implemented for a maximum of 12 of the 15 actors (trip units) that can be associated
to the trip unit via Link Bus (see the chapter "14 - Ekip Link module").
• Only hardware selectivity or mixed selectivity (hardware and logic) must be selected in the Ekip Link
advanced selectivity page.
• The IP address of each actor present must be entered in the Ekip Link configuration. Entry of the
address enables the configuration parameters and state indicators to be displayed in the various pages
(see the chapter "2 - Load control").
• For each actor associated to the trip unit via Link Bus and for which you want to enable Logic Selectivity,
the function must be enabled (the value “True” must be assigned to the Selectivity Actor parameter).
• Selectivity masks are available for each actor present in the Ekip Link advanced selectivity page: the
mask enables selection of the protections of the actors (S, G, D-Forward, D-Backward, S2, Gext) that
activate the selectivity input of the trip unit (example: actor 1, protection mask S= S2 and Gext: selectivity
S of the trip unit will be active in the presence of signals S2 or Gext of actor 1).
• If selectivity has been enabled for protection S and the protection itself is in the alarm state, the following
are activated on the output: the S/D-Forward hardware signal and logic selectivity bit S.
In addition, with reference to the example, the circuit-breaker opening time varies on the basis of the state of
the selectivity inputs and/or state bits:
• if hardware signal S/D-Forward (SZi) and logic selectivity bits S2 and Gext of actor 1 are not active: the
circuit-breaker is open during the selectivity time for protection S.
• if hardware signal S/D-Forward (SZi) or, with mixed selectivity, logic selectivity bits S2 or Gext of actor
1 are active: the circuit-breaker is open during S protection time (if S protection is still in the alarm state
once this time has elapsed).
IMPORTANT: if hardware-only selectivity is selected, the logical selectivity bits are
ignored in input, but they are however activated in output.
NOTE: the S/D-Forward (G/D-Backward) hardware output is activated only if the protections
S or D-Forward (G or D-Backward) are in alarm, and the S/D-Forward (G/D-Backward)
hardware input acts as a block only for the protections S and D-Forward (G and D-Backward),
regardless of whether hardware-only or mixed selectivity is selected.

• Remote Programmable States A and B are also included in the selectivity masks: these 2 parameters,
which are available in the Ekip Link configuration page, enable the event (or combination of several
events) and reference actor that activate the selectivity input of the trip unit to be selected. 2 further states
are available, C and D, but they cannot be configured for Zone Selectivity. All 4 programmable states are
used for the Programmable Logic function described in chapter "14 - Ekip Link module".
NOTE: The Programmable Logic function is different from that of Zone Selectivity.
Additional functions: repetition of selectivity information

The Repeat Configuration mask parameter is available in the Ekip Link advanced selectivity page. It
enables the selection of protections whose logic selectivity bit, if present on the input, must be propagated
regardless of the state of the protection on the current trip unit.
NOTE: the parameter only acts on the selectivity bits. It does not involve the hardware outputs.
Additional functions: diagnostics

In the presence of both hardware and logic selectivity, the diagnosis highlights any errors in the hardware
selecitivity cabling by checking its continuity.
In the Ekip Link diagnosis configuration page it is possible to: enable diagnosis, configure the interval
of time between one inspection and the next, select the inputs to be checked for each active actor (S/D_
Forward, G/D_Backward).
Then:
• A check is performed on the hardware inputs at regular intervals.
• If, on the trip unit, the input of an actor is configured for diagnosis (e.g. input S of actor 3) and this input
is not active when the test is performed, the actor stimulates its output (e.g. actor 3 activates output S)
for a short time: the trip unit considers the test result to be positive if it receives the signal correctly at its
input, otherwise it will signal error.
• the diagnosis check will not be performed if the hw input is active.
• if the input configured for diagnosis is active when the test is performed, diagnosis check will not be
performed and the Detection state in the Ekip Link state page will indicate: Unknown.
Error signals (inconsistency)

• Regardless of the diagnosis, if a hardware input is active and none of the logic selectivity bits of the
associated actors is active, a line inconsistency for this input is reported in the Ekip Link state page.
NOTE: to check the line inconsistency, all the actors associated with the trip unit are checked,
including those for which the function has not been enabled (i.e. the value “True” was not
assigned to the Selectivity Actor parameter).

• A line inconsistency (independently of diagnostics) is indicative of a possible configuration error (for example:
a hardware input of the trip unit is connected to the hardware output of a trip unit not associated via Link
Bus, or to an actor for which the function has not been enabled).
• Therefore, to avoid a line inconsistency being reported, the trip units whose hardware outputs are connected
to the hardware inputs of the trip unit must also be connected to the Link Bus and associated to the trip
unit (see the chapter "14 - Ekip Link module") while it is not necessary (it is not necessary for the value
“True” to be assigned to the Selectivity Actor parameter).

2 - Load control
General description Load control is possible through the Ekip Power Controller, which is a new patented ABB function, available
only on SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers equipped with any Ekip LCD or Touch (including Hi-, G, and G Hi- trip
units).

The purpose of the function is to to prevent a defined limit of power absorption from being exceeded in the
installation, through:
• The cumulative measurement of the energy consumed by the installation over time.
• An estimate of the energy consumed at the end of the monitoring periods in which the electrical energy
billing cycle is divided.
• Automatic load control, that is to say the temporary disconnection of lower priority loads if the estimate of
the energy exceeds the product of the power limit set and the duration of the monitoring periods.
• Recognition of the instant the monitoring periods start with reset and restart of energy meters at the beginning
of each period on the basis of the internal clock of the release or of an external synchronization signal.
NOTE: if the trip unit where the function resides is equipped with an Ekip Link module and
the clock and synchronization signals in accordance with the IEEE 1588 protocol are available
on the Link Bus, synchronization can be performed by the trip unit on the basis of this signal.
For details, see the chapter “14 - Ekip Link module".

Ekip Power Controller enables you to:
• do not exceed the contracted power limits established with the users and increase the contracted power
and fixed costs without incurring penalties in the case of peaks in energy consumption.
• oversize the installation to prevent overload protections from tripping.
• ensure smart real time management of the loads on the basis of real plant consumption needs at any instant.

NOTE: load control based on measuring the energy rather than the instantaneous power
allows power peaks above the contractual limit to be tolerated if the duration of the peaks is
such that the average power during the monitoring period does not exceed the contractual
limit. This is useful, because billing and any penalties from the public utility company are
calculated on the basis of the average power measured in predefined time intervals, specifically
on the basis of the average highest power reached during the billing period.
Further information on the potential of the function is available in the White Paper 1SDC007410G0202 “Load
management with Ekip Power Controller for SACE Emax 2”.
Operating details To enable the function, this just needs to be available on an Ekip LCD or Ekip Touch trip unit equipped with an
auxiliary power supply, and with the possibility to measure the total energy consumed (for example: installed
on the main circuit-breaker of the system). Therefore, the energy can be measured if the trip unit is equipped
with an Ekip Measuring module (see the chapter “2 - Ekip Measuring modules”).
NOTE: Ekip Measuring module is supplied as standard with Ekip Hi-, G, G Hi-Touch and Ekip
Hi-, G, G Hi-LCD trip units, whereas it has to be ordered in case an Ekip LCD or Touch are
used.

The circuit-breaker performing the function is indicated as the master, while the devices located upstream
the power supply circuits and controlled by the master are indicated as slaves.

The slaves can be real loads, or they can be generators. The generators are controlled in the opposite way
to loads, that is, they are connected in the event of high consumption (to activate additional energy sources)
and disconnected in the event of reduced consumption.
159 | © 2018 ABB | 1SDH001330R0002 - ECN000086018 - Rev. B Specific applications | 2 - Load control
Within the monitoring period, the estimate of the energy consumed at the end of the period is performed by
the master at regular intervals. Then, after every interval:
• If the estimate is in the high consumption range, a load is disconnected (or a generator is connected)
• If the estimate is in the low consumption range, a load is connected (or a generator is disconnected)
• If the estimate is in the acceptable consumption range, no loads or generators are disconnected or connected.

Load monitoring is still performed by the master, in accordance with these rules:
• The maximum number of loads that can be controlled is 15 (including the generators).
• The order in which the loads are disconnected and connected depends on the priority level assigned: the
lower the priority level, the less important the load. Therefore a load with lower priority will be disconnected
before and connected after the one with higher priority.
• It is possible to assign the same priority level to different loads.
• If the same level of priority is assigned to more loads, the master will disconnect (connect) the load that
has been connected (disconnected) for the longest time.
• To avoid damage or due to operating requirements, it is possible that once a load has been disconnected
(connected) it can only be reconnected (disconnected) only after a certain minimum time (the minimum
times for which a load must remain disconnected and connected can be different). Furthermore, a load
cannot remain disconnected beyond a certain maximum time. This information can be inserted in the
master (separately for each load), and the master will disconnect (connect) each load only after its minimum
time has elapsed, and will reconnect before its maximum time has elapsed, regardless of its priority level.
• If a load to be disconnected is already disconnected (for example: due to tripping of a protection of a
supply-side trip unit, or manual opening), the load is classified as not available and is excluded by the
function until it becomes available again.
Connections and equipment

Types of connection and compatibility
NOTE: in the text that follows, the term “load” is used for both real loads and generators.
The master monitors the loads, controlling the slaves remotely:

• Through wiring, and controlling also opening/closing coils or motor operators if the slaves are circuit-breakers.
• Using communication via Link Bus between Emax 2 trip units, or with Ekip Signalling 10K modules.
NOTE:
• Communication via Link Bus is possible only with Ekip Dip, LCD, and Touch trip units equipped
with an Ekip Link module. Then the circuit-breakers equipped with Ekip Dip trip units can only
act as slaves, while the circuit-breakers equipped with LCD or Touch trip units can act both as
masters and as slaves.
• For details on how to associate trip units connected to the same Link Bus with each other,
see the chapter “14 - Ekip Link module". For details on how to associate a trip unit and a 10K
module connected to the same Link Bus, see the manual 1SDH001318R0002 of the 10K
modules.
Load control via wiring

For load control via wiring, for each load the master requires at least:
• An input, to get information on the open/closed state of the slave on the supply side of the load.
• Either one or two outputs, depending on the type of slave, to control its opening/closing (two outputs if
the slave is a circuit-breaker, for example one output to control the opening coil and one output to control
the closing coil).
For these signals, the inputs and outputs of the signalling modules connected to the master can be used
(Ekip Signalling 4K mounted on the trip unit, or 2K or 10K modules connected to the trip unit via Local Bus,
see the chapters “4 - Ekip Signalling 4K module" and "5 - Ekip Signalling 2K modules“ and the manual
1SDH001318R0002 for 10K modules). Thus, if the slaves are circuit-breakers, the maximum number of loads
that can be controlled through wiring is:
• Two, if the master is an E1.2 and 2K modules are used (4k modules cannot be installed on E1.2 circuit
breakers, and a maximum of two 2k modules can be connected).
• Five, if the master is an E2.2, an E4.2 or an E6.2, and 4K and 2K modules are used.
• 15, if 10K modules are used.

More information on the connections, the equipment of the master and of every type of slave (for example:
air , molded-case, miniature circuit-breakers), and examples of applications are provided in the White Paper
1SDC007410G0202 “Load management with Ekip Power Controller for SACE Emax 2”.
Load control via Link Bus

Load control via Link Bus offers the advantage of reducing the number of cables. In fact, the information on
the state of the circuit-breakers and the opening/closing controls is shared by the trip units on the Link Bus,
and each connected trip unit can be set so as to select the shared information required to perform its own
function.
Furthermore, load control via Link Bus is possible even if the slaves are not SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers,
by using the inputs and outputs of Ekip Signalling 10K modules configured to communicate via Link Bus and
associated to the trip unit mounted on the master.
NOTE: unlike the 10K modules connected to the trip unit via Local Bus (with which the
programming of inputs and outputs must be performed via Ekip Connect, by connecting to
the trip unit), the programming of the inputs and outputs of 10K modules configured to
communicate via Link Bus must be performed via Ekip Connect, connecting the module. For
details, see the manual 1SDH001318R0002 of the 10K modules.
Load control via Link Bus is useful if the loads are located in different switchboards and the connection
distances are long. And it is possible by setting up one or more Ethernet switches, with an adequate number
of outputs for the connection of all the trip units equipped with Ekip Link modules and Ekip Signalling 10K
modules configured to communicate via the Link Bus of the installation.

More information on the connections, the equipment of the master and of every type of slave (for example:
air , molded-case, miniature circuit-breakers), and examples of applications are provided in the White Paper
1SDC007410G0202 “Load management with Ekip Power Controller for SACE Emax 2”.

Access from the Ekip Connect

Setting the function
Apart from few parameters, the function can only be set via the Ekip Connect software (see the chapter “
17 - Other accessories", and the paragraph "Ekip Connect software”).
NOTE: the parameters for setting the function are available only if the trip unit is equipped
with an Ekip Measuring module. In this case, the Advanced Power Controller menu on Ekip
Connect is activated, under which the following pages can be selected.
The function must be enabled in the Basic settings and information page of the master.
The following items must be entered in the Advanced settings and information page of the master:
• If, on start up, the loads must be considered available, they can be both closed and open, or must be
closed, or if they must in any case be considered unavailable until the manual alarm deletion command
has been selected in the Basic settings and information page.
• During the monitoring period (5 minutes by default. Can be set in the Unit configuration page of the
general configuration of the release and installation), after how much time the function must be executed
(energy at end of period must be estimated and loads must be controlled).
• In relation to this time, the percentage of delay with which loads can be disconnected and connected.
• In the presence of an external time synchronization signal, the master signalling input to which it is
connected (input of the Ekip Signalling 4K module installed on the trip unit, or the 2K or 10K modules
connected to the trip unit via Local Bus). For more information on synchronization, see the White Paper
1SDC007410G0202 "Load management with Ekip Power Controller for SACE Emax 2".
• Up to ten power limits, of which at least the first one must be set.
• For each day of the week, up to a maximum of four time bands (which must cover a total twenty four
hours), and for each time band one of the above-mentioned ten power limits.
The load parameters are set in the Load parameters pages of the master (separately for each load):
• If the load has to be disconnected and connected manually, or automatically by the master.
• The priority level, from 1 to 15 (the higher the level, for example 15, the more important the load. The lower
the level, for example 1, the less important the load).
• The load type, in other words whether it is a real load or a generator.
• The number (from 0 to 2) and type of information on the state of the slaves on the supply side of the load
(open/closed, not available, in tripped position).
• The type of inputs, in other words, how the above state information is supplied (through physical connection
of inputs, or via Link Bus using one of the 15 Ekip Link modules that can be associated with the master).
• In case of physical inputs, to which signalling inputs of the master the above state signals are connected.
• The minimum time for which the load must remain connected.
• The minimum time for which the load must remain disconnected.
• The maximum time for which the load can remain disconnected.
• The start time and end time of a possible time slot in the day during which the load cannot be disconnected.
NOTE: if the non-availability signal of a load is active, the load cannot be disconnected and
connected, and therefore it cannot be used for the function until it becomes available again.
Information on the loads

Information about the state of the loads is also available in the Power Controller advanced settings page
of the master:
• Under Load Requested Status, the desired state of the loads (connected or not) is indicated.
• Under Load Input Status, the actual state of the loads is indicated.
• Under Load Alarm, any non-correspondence between desired state and actual state of the loads is indicated.
• Under Load Active Flags, any non-availability of the loads is indicated.
Setting the Ekip Link module

The Ekip Link modules of both the master and slave must be set correctly in order to control the loads via Link
Bus. In detail, in the Ekip Link configuration page activated by the Ekip Link module:
• On the master, the IP addresses of the slaves must be inserted.
• On the slaves, the IP address of the master must be inserted.
Setting of the IP address of each actor enables the associated parameters:

• The value "True" must be assigned to the Power Controller Master parameter if the actor is to act as a
master. Otherwise, the value "False" shall be assigned.
• The value "True" must be assigned to the Power Controller Energy Meter parameter if the actor musts
end information to the trip unit regarding its own energy consumed (for calculating the total energy of the
installation). Otherwise, the value "False" shall be assigned.
• Selectivity actor, for which the selectivity function can be enabled for that actor
• Selectivity Input Selection in page Ekip Link diagnosis configuration, to configure the diagnosis of
each active actor.
• Selectivity selection masks in page Ekip Link advanced selectivity, to configure the protections that
must act as locks, specific for each active actor.
NOTE: by default, all the actors are set as slaves, therefore the trip unit for which the Ekip
Link is being set is the master of the function (which is, however, not activate unless it is
enabled on the Advanced Information and Settings page).
Setting the signalling modules

The inputs and the outputs of the signalling modules must be configured appropriately. For details, see chapters
“4 - Ekip Signalling 4K module” and “5 - Ekip Signalling 2K modules”, and the manual 1SDH001318R0002
of the Ekip Signalling 10K modules.
In particular, the outputs must be configured:
• By selecting the value “Custom” for the Signal Source parameter and the load to which the output is to
be bound from the PC Load Output Status lists: the output will be enabled in order to connect the load
or the generator, and disabled in order to disconnect it.
• By setting an activation delay of at least 1 second.
• By selecting the value “Power Controller” for the min activation time parameter, if you wish the closing
command to be impulsive.
Wizard
To facilitate the setting of the function, under the heading "Tools" in the menu, the Ekip Connect software
provides the Power Controller wizard, which guides the user step by step and automatically creates
configurations based on the choices made by the operator.
Access from the display For the parameters to be set and the information regarding the function available on the display, see the
chapter “23 - Ekip Power Controller".

3 - Generator protection
Description
Specific protections and functions have been integrated into SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers equipped with
Ekip LCD or Touch trip units (with Ekip Measuring Pro module), or Ekip Hi- or G or G Hi- (LCD or Touch)
trip units to protect low voltage synchronous generators against typical fault conditions and to connect the
generators to the installation. This ensures solutions that are compact and simple to install, with no need to
turn to indirect solutions.
Available information
More information is available in the White Paper 1SDC007409G0202 “Generator protections: Ekip G trip unit
for SACE Emax 2”, which provides:
• A list of the available protections and functions giving both the ABB name and the ANSI codes (example:
protection RQ, with ANSI codes 40 and 32R).
• For each protection, the fault conditions to which it is applied (example: for protection RQ, the inversion
of the sign of the reactive power, positive if outgoing from the generator).
• A description of the malfunctions that can lead to the above fault conditions (example: for reactive power
reversal, the loss of excitation and the consequent loss of the electromotive force, with reactive power
absorption from the network by the generator).
• The types of generator or installation in which such mulfunctions are most likely to take place (for example:
reversal of reactive power, smooth rotor generators).
• The consequences to which they may lead if the trip unit does not trip (example: for reversal of reactive
power, a voltage drop, if the network is not able to supply the required reactive power with the consequent
loss of system stability, and in any case an increase in temperature on the generator windings).
• If the protection can be duplicated using the Hi- version of the trip unit, with the possibility of setting the
two protections independently, and therefore with the possibility of adding redundancy to increase reliability,
or to fine tune the adjustment of the protection.
• For each protection, the parameters to be set, the trip curves and the criteria for the setting of parameters.
• For each of the above parameters, the values that can be assigned.
• For each protection, an application example.
• The description of the synchronism function, which can be implemented with the Ekip Synchrocheck
module (see the chapter “3 - Ekip Synchrocheck module”), that permits the parallel connection of two
independent power supply systems.
For a summary of the fault conditions to which the protections are applied and of the parameters to be set,
see the chapters “9 - Touch protections” “10 - Measuring Pro protections” “12 - G Touch protections” and “
13 - G Hi-Touch protections”.
Compatibility
The protections may already be available in Ekip LCD and Ekip Touch trip units (with Ekip Measuring Pro
module, see the chapter “2 - Ekip Measuring modules”) or Ekip Hi- (LCD and Touch) trip units, or only Ekip
G or G Hi- trip units (LCD and Touch). To identify the trip units in which the protections are available, see the
chapter “1 - Presentation” and the paragraph “Families and functionality", and the chapter "6 - Menu” and
the paragraph “Advanced menus".

Connection to the power circuit The connection of a circuit-breaker to the power circuit is performed using the connection busbars of the
electric switchgear fixed to the terminals of the circuit-breaker. The sizing of the busbars is specified by the
designer of the electrical switchgear.
IMPORTANT: before proceeding with the connection between terminals and connection
busbars:
• Make sure that the contact surfaces of the busbars are free of burrs, dents, traces of
rusting, dust or traces of grease.
• Make sure, if aluminium busbars are used, than they are tin plated in the contact areas.
• Make sure that the busbars do not exert forces in any direction on the terminal.
• Tightening: for E1.2 use M10 screws with resistance class 8.8 equipped with spring
washers and lock them with a torque of 45 Nm - 398.3 lb in
• Tightening: for E2.2-E4.2-E6.2 use M12 screws with resistance class 8.8 equipped with
spring washers and lock them with a torque of 70 Nm - 619.5 lb in
IMPORTANT: it is possible to obtain different capacities for the connections by altering
the thickness and number of busbars in parallel.
NOTE: the information on the performances of the circuit-breakers in switchboards is available

on the website:

To optimize the thermal efficiency, it is recommended to adhere to the following installation

guidelines:
• Guarantee the maximum possible distance between the input and output busbars. See the example
Figure 108.
• Guarantee the maximum use of the surface of the terminal. See the example Figure 109.
• Make sure that the distance between the holes and the end of the terminal and between the holes and
extremity of the busbar is the same. See the example Figure 110.
• Make sure that, accordingly to the number of busbars and terminal tangs, the busbars of the lateral phases
are as distant as possible from the busbars of the central phase. See the example Figure 111.

Dissipated power To guarantee the performance of the switchgear in terms of uninterrupted rated capacity, the design of the
switchgear must take into account the power dissipated by switchgear and controlgear and by the installed
live parts. Dissipated powers are calculated according to the standard IEC 60947. The values indicated in
the table refer to the total power for each three-phase circuit-breaker with balanced loads with a current flow
equal to the rated uninterrupted current Iu. These power dissipations are measured according to the standard
IEC 60947. The values indicated in the table refer to the total power of the circuit-breakers in three-pole and
four-pole versions with balanced loads and a current flow equal to the rated uninterrupted current Iu at 50/60

Current limiting curve SACE Emax 2 series offer current-limiting circuit-breakers in E1.2 size up to 1600 A. These circuit-breakers
are characterized from the constructional point of view by the following features:
• Dedicated stored energy operating mechanism that reduces opening times.
• Specific main contacts that, by exploiting the electrodynamic forces generated by the short-circuit,
accelerate the opening of the main contacts.

These features enable rapid breaking and consequently reduce the electromechanical and thermal stress
suffered by the installation during a short-circuit. The Current-limiting circuit-breakers are characterized by
short-time withstand currents that are not particularly high and are therefore not suitable for applications
where selectivity towards more downstream devices is required or in case of devices with high inrush currents
in the start-up phase.

2 - Ekip Measuring modules
Description The Ekip Measuring is an accessory module for measurement of voltage, power and energy.
Specifically:
• It measures the r.m.s. value and frequency of the voltages of the three-phase system on the internal
contacts of the circuit-breaker, or on the external sockets. From these measurements, the trip unit obtains
the power and energy ones, which therefore become available.
• Combined with the Ekip Synchrocheck module, Ekip Measuring makes it possible to recognise whether
the synchronism conditions exist between the internal contacts (or external sockets) and external contacts
necessary for closing the circuit-breaker.

Two types are available:
• Ekip Measuring, equipped with the measuring function only.
• Ekip Measuring Pro, with a measuring function, possibility of powering the trip unit, and activation of the
Measuring protections.
With the Ekip Measuring Pro module, the power supply of the trip unit is guaranteed, if at least one value of
the line-to-line voltages is greater than or equal to 80 V AC.
Compatibility and power supply The Ekip Touch trip unit can be equipped with the Ekip Measuring and the Ekip Measuring Pro modules, the
former if you only wish to implement the measurement function and the latter if you also wish to implement
the power supply function and activate the Measuring protections. With Ekip Hi-Touch, G Touch, and G Hi-
Touch trip units, Ekip Measuring Pro is provided as standard.
Ekip Measuring requires the trip unit to be also supplied with auxiliary voltage (example: provided by an Ekip
Supply module). Auxiliary supply is not necessary with Ekip Measuring Pro.
Component Characteristics
Phase-to-phase input voltage 0…760 V AC
Input frequency 30…80 Hz
Isolation transformer If the input phase-to-phase voltage supplied to the modules is greater than 690 V AC rated voltage (maximum
760 V AC), external sockets must be used.
In the presence of external sockets, the use of an isolation transformer is mandatory.
IMPORTANT: the maximum secondary rated voltage admitted in the case of external
outlet sockets is 230V.
The following table lists the characteristics of the transformer:

Characteristics Description
• Mounting: EN 50022 DIN43880 guide.
• Material: self-extinguishing thermoplastic.
Mechanical
• Protection degree: IP30.
• Electrostatic protection: with shield to be connected to ground.
• Accuracy class: ≤ 0.5.
• Performance: ≥ 10 VA.
• Overload: 20 % permanent.
Electrical
• Insulation: 4 kV between inputs and outputs, 4 kV between shield and
outputs, 4 kV between shield and inputs.
• Frequency: 45…66 Hz.
NOTE: for the primary and secondary voltages of the transformer, see the configuration
parameters of the module, paragraph "Access from the display".

3 - Ekip Synchrocheck module
Description The Ekip Synchrocheck is an accessory module that, combined with the Ekip Measuring or Ekip Measuring
Pro module serves to recognize whether the synchronism conditions exist between the internal and external
contacts of the circuit-breaker, necessary for closing the circuit-breaker.
Ekip Synchrocheck measures the voltage on the external contacts (external voltage) while Ekip Measuring or
Ekip Measuring Pro measures it on the internal contacts (internal voltage). With a generator, and the circuit-
breaker in "Standard" configuration, the external voltage is that of the grid while the internal voltage is that
of the generator.

There are two types of operation:
• With busbar live, if the external voltage is other than zero.
• With a dead bus, if one of the voltages is nil (external with "Standard" configuration, internal with "Reverse"
configuration).
With live busbar:
• The search for the synchronism is started if the external voltage is greater than or equal to a minimum (0.5
Un by default), for a minimum time (1 s by default).
• Synchronism is considered to be reached if the differences between the RMS values of the frequency and
the voltage phases are less than or equal to a maximum (0.12 Un, 0.1 Hz and 50 ° by default).
Instead, with a dead bus and "Normal" configuration:
• The search for the synchronism is started if the internal voltage is greater than or equal to a minimum (0.5
Un by default), for a minimum time (1 s by default).
• The synchronism is considered to be achieved if the external voltage is less than or equal to a maximum
(0.2 by default) for a minimum time (1 s by default).
With a dead bus and "Reverse" configuration, the roles of the internal and external voltages are reversed.
To the above-mentioned synchronism conditions, we can add that of circuit-breaker open (by enabling the
condition “Evaluate CB status”, disabled by default).

The frequency and phase controls can be disabled.
IMPORTANT: to disable frequency and phase controls, make sure that the
correspondence of the desired frequency and phase already exists between external
and internal contacts.

The synchronism signal is activated when the synchronism is achieved and is kept active for at least 200 ms.
After 200 ms, it is kept active while the synchronism is present, and deactivated when the synchronism falls,
or the circuit-breaker is open (with condition "Evaluate CB status" enabled), or the communication with the
trip unit is interrupted.
Lastly, the Ekip Synchrocheck module makes the pins of a contact (K S1 and K S2) available on the terminal
box. Depending on how the module is configured, this contact is either normally open or closed, and changes
status when the synchronism is achieved.
IMPORTANT: only one Ekip Synchrocheck can be installed on each circuit-breaker.
Functionality is guaranteed with the circuit-breaker in the racked-in position.
Compatibility and power supply The module can be installed combined with Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch, and G Hi-Touch trip units, and
requires the presence of an Ekip Supply module in the first slot of the circuit-breaker terminal box.

4 - Ekip Signalling 4K module
Description Ekip Signalling 4K is a signalling accessory module.

This module has:
• Four contacts for output signals.
• Four digital inputs.
• A power state LED, and eight signalling LEDs (one LED for every output/input).
NOTE: for the access to outputs and inputs, see the paragraph "Connections" on page
225. For the location of the LEDs, see the paragraph “Signallings”, on page 230.

To switch the state of an input, a short circuit must be created between the input, and a reference available
on the same terminal box. In parallel, the information on the state of the inputs is transmitted by the module
to the trip unit, that can be programmed so that the activation of an input corresponds to an action on the
part of the trip unit.
The closing or the opening of the contacts is commanded by the trip unit, which can be programmed so that
the closing/opening corresponds to the occurrence of a desired event or combination of events.
The signalling LEDs light up in the presence of the short circuit for the inputs, or by closing the contact for
the outputs.
Compatibility and power supply The module can be installed combined with Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch, and G Hi-Touch trip units, and
requires the presence of an Ekip Supply module in the first slot of the circuit-breaker terminal box.
NOTE: the Ekip Signalling 4K module can be ordered only if the circuit-breaker is not equipped
with AUX 6Q contacts.
Electrical characteristics The following table lists the electrical characteristics of the outputs of the module:
• Breaking capacity (1): 2 A @ 30 V DC, 0.8 A @ 50 V DC, 0.2 A @ 150 V DC, 4A @ 250
Output contacts V AC.
• Dielectric strength between each contact and coil: 1000 V AC (1 minute @ 50 Hz).

The Custom source is a combination of default events that can be modified using the Ekip Connect software
so as to make the closing/opening of the contact correspond to a wide range of combinations of the status
bits of the trip unit.
(3)
If self-latching is configured as On and the contact Type must be changed (e.g. from NO to NC), after the
parameters have been changed a signaling reset command must be transmitted (by pressing and holding the
iTEST push-button for at least 4 s or by transmitting the Reset signals command from Ekip Connect.

5 - Ekip Signalling 2K modules
Description Ekip Signalling 2K is a signalling accessory module.

This module has:
• Two digital inputs, and two contacts for output signals.
• A power status LED, and four signalling LEDs (one LED for every input/output).
NOTE: for the positioning of inputs, outputs and LEDs, see the paragraph “Signals and
inputs/outputs”, on page 238.
To switch the state of an input, a short circuit must be created between the input and a reference available on
the same connector. In parallel, the information on the state of the inputs is transmitted by the module to the
trip unit, that can be programmed so that the activation of an input corresponds to an action of the trip unit.
The closing or the opening of the contacts is commanded by the trip unit, which can be programmed so that
the closing/opening corresponds to the occurrence of a desired event or combination of events.
The signalling LEDs light up in the presence of the short circuit for the inputs, or by closing the contact for
the outputs.
IMPORTANT: on each circuit-breaker, a maximum of two (for E1.2 circuit-breakers)
or three (for E2.2-E4.2-E6.2 circuit breakers) Ekip Signalling 2K modules can be
installed: one 2K-1, one 2K-2, and one 2K-3 (for E2.2-E4.2-E6.2 circuit breakers only).
These modules differ in name and label, and have distinct wirings, but they are
identical as regards their characteristics and installation.
Functionality is guaranteed with the circuit-breaker in the racked-in position.

IMPORTANT:
• when the circuit-breaker is in the disconnected position, the module overrides the
outputs as per the configuration of the Type of Contact parameters (NO, NC); this
override is not performed if output configuration is: input state of the module itself,
communication with trip unit failed.
• In the absence of power supply the contacts are always in the open position.
Compatibility and power supply The modules can be installed combined with Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch, and G Hi-Touch trip units, and
require the presence of an Ekip Supply module in the first slot of the circuit-breaker terminal box.
• Breaking capacity (1): 2 A @ 30 V DC, 0.8 A @ 50 V DC, 0.2 A @ 150 V DC, 4A @
Output contacts 250 V AC.
• Dielectric strength between each contact and coil: 1000 V AC (1 minute @ 50 Hz).

6 - Ekip Signalling 3T modules
Description Ekip Signalling 3T is a signaling accessory which enables the connection of:
• 3 analog inputs for PT1000 temperature sensors (2 wires).
• 1 analog input for 4-20mA current loop.
The measurements supplied by the module can be associated with different control threshold, useful for
configuring alarm signals, states and programmable commands.
The module can be installed on all Emax 2 circuit-breakers in the presence of trip units Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch,
G Touch, G Hi-Touch (of the equivalent Ekip LCD models) with firmware version 2.23 or higher.
Models Emax 2 can be configured with 2 different 3T modules: Ekip Signalling 3T-1 and Ekip Signalling 3T-2.
The modules are identical in terms of characteristics and installation methods, except for: display menus,
cabling and addresses for system communication, which are specific for each module.
NOTE: if different indications are not given, the information in the next chapter is valid for
both models.
The two modules can be installed at the same time on the same circuit-breaker so as to extend the
opportunities for measuring and monitoring the installation.
IMPORTANT: each circuit-breaker can only be fitted with one module per type. The
configuration with two modules of the same model is not allowed (example: two Ekip
Signalling 3T-1 modules).
Input The module enables the following quantities to be measured
Input Measurement Range Auflösung Accuracy (1)

PT1000 Temperature -50 ÷ 250 °C 0,01 °C ± 0,25 °C (2)
Current loop 4-20 mA DC current 0 ÷ 100 % (3) 0.1 % ± 0,5 % (4)
(1)
Accuracy values refer to 3T module without sensors. For complete accuracy, consider the characteristics of
the sensors and cabling used.
(2)
Accuracy valid in -25 to 250°C range; in complete range it is: ± 0.5°C.
(3)
The measurement is expressed as a percentage, where: 0% = 4 mA and 100% = 20 mA.
(4)
Accuracy values refer to full scale: 0.5% = 0.1 mA.
Power supply Ekip Signalling 3T is supplied directly by the Ekip Supply module to which it is connected.
NOTE: in the following cases:
• no auxiliary supply
• withdrawable circuit-breaker momentarily in withdrawn position.
communication between trip unit and module is interrupted and the information supplied
(state and measurement of the inputs) is not valid.

ABB | SACE Emax 2
Connections - Module The module must be installed on the terminal box of the circuit-breaker (in the fixed version), or on the fixed
part (in the withdrawable version), in the first slot after the Ekip Supply module.
Further details about assembly of module 3T on Emax 2 circuit-breakers are available at http://www.abb.
com/abblibrary/DownloadCenter/, especially in the kit sheet 1SDH001000R0527.
There are two examples alongside, with circuit-breaker E2.2 in the fixed and withdrawable versions.
Connection of each input (H41, H42, H43, H44 for model 3T-1, H51, H52, H53, H54 for model 3T-2) must
be performed with reference to the respective common contacts (HC), as indicated in the circuit diagram:

Connections - Inputs For PT1000 sensors, use insulated cables for thermistors such as PENTRONIC TEC/SITW-24F (Type TX) or
similar. Maximum length 3 meters
For the 4-20mA Current Loop sensor, use suitable cables up to 3 meters in length compatible with the
workplace in which the 4-20mA current sensor is used.
IMPORTANT: the inputs are not insulated: regardless of plant voltage, the customer
must ensure there is insulation between each input and between the inputs and
power supply of the Ekip Supply module on the basis of the customer's own application
and network. For applications in low voltage installations ABB suggests use of the
dedicated isolated external sensor PT1000, which can be ordered by code
1SDA085695R1, is equippped with a nut and screw for use on busbars and is compatible
with the dielectric withstand and insulation levels established by standard IEC 60947-
2 (Ui= 1000 V, Uimp= 12 kV).

7 - Ekip Com Modbus RTU modules
Description Ekip Com Modbus RTU is a communication accessory module which integrates the circuit-breaker into a
remote industrial supervision and monitoring network in two different modes, master and slave.
It can be connected to a RS-485 network with a Modbus RTU communication protocol, and allows you to:
• Connect the trip units to the network, with dialog functionality.
• Command opening and closing of the circuit-breaker from remote.
• Provide information on the state of the circuit-breaker (open, closed, tripped).
• If mounted on a circuit-breaker in withdrawable version, detect the connected/disconnected position.
For more details about how to access information and transmit commands to the trip unit via the module,
consult chapter "System Interface" on page 155.
Remote opening and closing of the circuit-breaker can be performed only if the circuit-breaker is equipped
with an Ekip Com Actuator module (see page 286).

For applications in which a high network reliability is necessary, the module can be installed along with the
corresponding Redundant module.
The Redundant module is identical in terms of characteristics and installation, but its wiring is different from
the non-Redundant model.
IMPORTANT: on each circuit-breaker, only one Ekip Com Modbus RTU, and only one
Ekip Com Modbus RTU Redundant can be installed.
IMPORTANT: functionality is guaranteed with the circuit-breaker in the Racked-in

and Test positions. When the circuit-breaker is in the Withdrawn position, the only
valid information transmitted is:
• Connection of trip unit to Com module (Trip unit disconnected = disconnected).

• CB position (CB isolated / CB connected = CB isolated).
• Presence of com module ( = present; only valid for the module to which it is connected).
Further details are given in document 1SDH001140R0001 (Communication System
Interface for Emax 2), sections Status Global 1 [dlog], Status Accessories 1 and
Status Accessories 2.

The modules are always supplied with Ekip AUP and Ekip RTC contacts (see the chapter "17 - Other
accessories" on page 287).
Termination resistor A 120 Ω termination resistance can be linked to bus RS-485, thereby configuring the dip-switches Rterm
located on the side of the modules in the on position. In the case of bus termination, a 220 Ω pull-up or
pull-down resistor must also be installed on the lines by setting dip-switches Rpoll to the on position. These
options must be selected before the installation of the modules.
Consult the next figure for the on and off positions of the dip-switches.

Termination resistor The modules provide the possibility to insert a 120 Ω termination resistor on the CAN bus, by setting the dip-
switches Rterm on the side of the modules, in position on. This option must be selected before the modules
are installed.
For the positions on and off of the dip-switches Rterm, see the following figure (on DeviceNet™
communication modules, the remaining dip-switches are not used).
IMPORTANT:
• The termination resistors must never be included in the nodes. The inclusion of this
capability could easily lead to a network with improper termination (impedance too
high or too low), potentially causing a failure. For example, the removal of a node,
which includes a termination resistor, could result in a network failure.
• The termination resistors must not be installed at the end of a branch (drop line), but
only at the two ends of the main backbone (trunk line).

10 - Ekip Com Modbus TCP modules
Description Ekip Com Modbus TCP is an accessory module that can function as a communication module integrating the
circuit-breaker in an industrial remote supervision and control network or as an HTTP Server.
As communication module, it can be connected to an Ethernet network with Modbus TCP communication,
and allows to:
As HTTP Server, connected to an Ethernet network, this module allows read-only access to the information
of the trip unit. This access is possible through a browser, inserting the IP address of the module. Once the
trip unit has been found, a login page is opened that asks for the user password to be inserted, which is the
same password to be inserted in the display to modify the parameters.
The following table shows the ports used by the module:

Port Service Notes
502/tcp Modbus TCP When the module is used as Modbus TCP/IP communication module.
80/tcp Server HTTP When the module is used as Server HTTP.
319/udp When IEEE protocol 1588 is enabled (see paragraph "Remote
IEEE 1588
320/udp configurations", on page 260).
68/udp DHCP client DHCP Client enabled as an alternative to “Static Address = On”

IMPORTANT: on each circuit-breaker, only one Ekip Com Modbus TCP, and only one
Ekip Com Modbus TCP Redundant can be installed.

Safety and cyber security Since the module allows the circuit-breaker and access to the data in the trip unit to be checked, it can
only be connected to networks equipped with all the necessary safety and prevention measures against
unauthorized access (for example, the network of the control system of an installation).
IMPORTANT:
• it is the customer's sole responsibility to provide and continuously ensure a secure

connection between Ekip Com Modbus TCP and customer network or any other
network (as the case may be). The plant manager must establish and maintain
appropriate measures (such as but not limited to the installation of firewalls, application
of authentication measures, encryption of data, installation of antivirus programs, etc.)
to protect the product, the network, the customer system and interface against any
kind of security breaches, unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, loss and/or
theft of data or information.
• The module cannot be connected directly to the Internet. Only connect to dedicated
Ethernet networks with Modbus TCP communication protocol.

• The IP address, the Network Mask, and the Gateway Address.
• TCP Clients.
• The MAC Address.
The following table shows the information on the modules:

Information Description
This is the address assigned to the modules at the moment of connection to the
network. It consists of four bytes (for a total of 32 bits), each of which can have a
value from 0 to 255.
By default, allocation is dynamic. With dynamic allocation, the modules wait to receive
the IP address from a DHCP server.
IP Address Without a DHCP server, the modules adopt an Autoconfiguration IP Address in the
range 169.254.xxx.xxx, calculated in a pseudo random manner so as to be the same
at every switch-on.
As an alternative, you can enable the static IP address option, which allows the IP
address to be forced. In this case, you must make sure that the IP Address inserted is
different from that of the other devices connected to the same network.
This is the subnet mask, and identifies the method to recognize the subnet to which
the modules belong, with the possibility of searching for the modules within a defined
Network Mask set of recipients.
If you enable the option Static IP Address, you must also enter the correct Network
Mask.
It is the IP address of the node to which the modules are connected, in case of
multiple subnets.
Gateway Address
If you enable the Static IP Address option, you must also enter the correct Gateway
Address.
TCP Client There are three IP Addresses of the client devices connected to the modules.
MAC Address It is the address assigned by ABB, having an OUI equal to ac:d3:64 (1).

13 - Ekip Com IEC 61850 modules
Description Ekip Com IEC 61850 is an accessory module that can function as a communication module by integrating
the circuit-breaker in an industrial remote supervision and control network.
It can be connected to an Ethernet network with an IEC 61850 communication protocol, and allows you to:
• Provide vertical communication (report) towards higher-level supervision systems (SCADA) with states and
measurements (re-transmitted whenever, and only if, they change with respect to the previous report).
• Provide horizontal communication (GOOSE output) towards other circuit-breakers (non-Emax 2, e.g.
medium voltage circuit-breakers), with all the information about state and measurements normally shared
by Emax 2 communication modules on busbars.
The configuration for the IEC 61850 protocol to assign the Technical Name, and, where necessary, to enable
the GOOSE (by setting the corresponding MAC addresses), is carried out by loading a configuration file in
the module. For further information, see the chapter "System Interface" on page 155, and in particular the
document 1SDH001140R0001 referenced in the chapter

14 - Ekip Link module
Description Ekip Link is a communication accessory module that integrates the circuit-breaker in an internal Ethernet
network with an ABB proprietary protocol.
The network to which the module is to be connected must be dedicated and comprising only Ekip Link and
Ethernet switches that declare support for level L2 multicast on the datasheet. In this case the Ethernet
switches do not require any configuration. If, instead, the network also includes routers, multicast must be
enabled and configured on all L3 Layer VLAN interfaces.

IMPORTANT: the module can be connected only to Ethernet networks inside one or
more switchboards, to which trip units or ABB Emax 2 accessories are connected.
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all the necessary security measures
are adopted for all the connected devices (for example, the necessary access
authorizations, 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.

The module is necessary if you wish to implement the following functions:
• Power Controller
• Zone Selectivity
• Programmable Logic
For these functions, the trip units of the system that are involved must be equipped with an Ekip Link, and for
each of them the IP addresses of the Ekip Link modules of the other trip units must be inserted.

The Ekip Link modules must be connected to a dedicated network that includes only Ekip Link modules and
Ethernet switches that declare support for level L2 multicast in their data sheets. In this case, the Ethernet
switches do not require any configuration. If instead the network also includes routers, multicast must be
enabled and configured on all L3 Layer VLAN interfaces.
For each Ekip Link, every other trip unit connected to the network is considered as an actor. In addition, each
Ekip Link can be interfaced with a maximum of 15 actors, of which a maximum of 12 for the Zone Selectivity
function.

With the Power Controller function, every trip unit can:
• Acquire the state of the loads from remote and monitor them.
• Play the role of Master, and collect the energy measurements of the trip units selected as Energy Meter.
• Supply energy measurements to the trip units inserted as master.
The state of the loads can be acquired by checking the state of the inputs of the signalling modules connected
to the trip units whose IP address has been entered, while the loads can be monitored by programming their
outputs.
Remote acquisition of the state of the loads and monitoring of the loads can also be implemented with Ekip

With the Zone Selectivity function:
• The IP addresses inserted refer to the trip units with the role of interlock.
• For every interlock trip unit inserted, the protections for which selectivity is to be implemented must
be selected by setting a mask. The function set in this way is indicated hereafter as logical, in order to
distinguish it from the standard function, hereafter referred to as hardware.
• The protections selected in this manner are added to the hardware protections S G D-Backward and
D-Forward.
• It is possible to choose between hardware-only selectivity and both hardware and logical selectivity.
• It is possible to set diagnostics to check for each interlock trip unit whether there is consistency between
the hardware and logical selectivity information.
• It is possible to set a mask that identifies the protections from which the received information about
selectivity is to be retransmitted, regardless of whether the trip unit is in alarm conditions. The information
to which the mask is applicable regards only logical selectivity.
For further information about Zone Selectivity function see the chapter "1 - Zone Selectivity" on page 156.

With the Programmable Logic function, it is possible to program the activation of the Ekip Link up to 4 bits,
each bit according to any combination of the status bits of a trip unit whose IP Address has been inserted.
These four bits are indicated as states A, B, C and D remotely programmable, and their value is transmitted
to the trip unit to which the Ekip Link module is connected.

Exclusively with Ekip Dip trip units: the module can also be used with a function similar to that of the Ekip Com
Modbus TCP module, but only with the possibility to communicate with the ABB master (e.g.: Ekip Connect,
or Ekip Control Panel).

connected and can be powered in AC at 105...265 V AC/DC, or DC at 21.5...53 V DC.
IMPORTANT: AC and DC power supplies cannot be present at the same time.
The following table lists the electrical characteristics of the module:

Power supply voltage Frequency Power input Inrush current
21.5...53 V DC - Maximum 10W Maximum 2 A for 20 ms
105...265 V AC/DC 45…66 Hz Maximum 10 VA/W Maximum 2 A for 20 ms
One trip unit can communicate with a maximum of four Ekip Multimeters. On the other hand, the module can
be connected to only one trip unit.
In addition, the module makes available an auxiliary voltage of 24 V DC, which can be used to power the
trip unit. If the trip unit 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 trip unit,
and therefore it is may be unable to deliver enough power to supply an Ekip Supply module and any other
electronic accessories connected to the terminal box.
In case of connection to an Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G-Touch, and G Hi-Touch trip unit, as well as displaying the
measurements, the module also allows you to set parameters and protection thresholds.
For the Local Bus (communication lines W3 and W4) and the auxiliary output power (24Vout L+ and - signals),
Belden 3105A or equivalent cables must be used with a maximum length of 15 m. The shield of the cables
must be connected to ground on both sides of the connection.
Further information on Ekip Multimeter is available on the website http://www.abb.com/abblibrary/
DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheet 1SDH001000R0520.
External neutral This is a current sensor for the neutral pole outside the circuit-breaker.
It is provided only for three-pole circuit breakers. It allows protection of the neutral to be implemented through
the connection to the Ekip trip unit. It is supplied on request.
Further information on the connection of the external neutral is available on the website http://www.abb.com/
abblibrary/DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheets:
• 1SDH001000R0506 for circuit breakers E2.2.
• 1SDH001000R0515 for circuit breakers E4.2 and E6.2.
Contacts Ekip AUP The communication modules are always supplied with dedicated Ekip AUP auxiliary position contacts. In
case of a withdrawable circuit-breaker, the Ekip AUP contacts give the signal of moving part racked-in/out
from the fixed part.
The assembly assures that the position signalling is given also with the moving part withdrawn.
IMPORTANT: in case of multiple communication modules, only one can be connected
to the Ekip AUP contacts.
Further information on assembling Ekip AUP modules and contacts is available on the web site http://www.
abb.com/abblibrary/DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheet 1SDH001000R0811.
Ekip RTC contact The communication modules are always supplied with an Ekip RTC auxiliary contact, which gives to the trip
unit the signal indicating that the circuit-breaker is ready to receive a close command.
Further information on the assembly of the Ekip RTC contact is available on the website http://www.abb.
com/abblibrary/DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheets:
• 1SDH000999R0604 for circuit breakers E1.2.

YO-YC-YO2-YC2 (1): Opening The opening coils, YO and YO2, and the closing coil, YC and YC2 (1), allow the circuit-breaker to be controlled
and closing coil remotely.
The opening of the circuit-breaker is always possible with the circuit-breaker closed, while closing is possible
with the circuit-breaker open and the closing springs charged.
The opening and closing coils can operate in two different modes:
• instantaneous service (the minimum duration of the command impulse must be 100 ms).
• service with permanent power supply.

IMPORTANT:
• If the closing coil is permanently energized and the opening coil trips, after opening,
the closing coil must be momentarily de-energized so that it can be reused for the next
closing operation.
• If instead the opening coil trips, it is necessary, after having de-energized it, to wait at
least 100 ms before operating the closing coil.

YU: Undervoltage coil The undervoltage coil YU controls the value of the voltage in the circuit to which it is connected.
The coil opens the circuit-breaker when its energizing voltage drops below a value between 35...70%Un
The circuit-breaker can be reclosed when the coil energizing voltage is between 85...110% Un.

The undervoltage coil YU can in addition be used for the following purposes:
• Trip unit the circuit-breaker remotely using pushbuttons of the normally closed type.
• Activate the lock when the circuit-breaker is closed (the closing of the circuit-breaker is allowed only with
the undervoltage coil energized).
IMPORTANT:
• The undervoltage coil YU is incompatible with the presence of the Fail Safe device (UL
circuit-breakers).
• The undervoltage coil YU is a emergency trip unit. For service operations use the
opening coil.
NOTE: the power supply of the coil must be drawn on the supply side of the circuit-breaker
or from an independent source.

Alarms or failures
1 - Identification of alarms or failures
Introduction The protection trip unit is able to identify some faults and to signal them through LEDs or display; you need to
identify the cause and eliminate it before re-closing the circuit-breaker, both locally and remotely.
WARNING! identification of the faults must be managed only by Skilled Persons in
the electrical field (IEV 195-04-01): person with relevant education and experience
to enable him or her to perceive risks and to avoid hazards which electricity can
create. Indeed, it may be necessary to perform insulation and dielectric tests on part
or all of the installation.
Some failures involve partial operation of the circuit-breaker. Consult the paragraphs “Faults, causes and
remedies” on page 313 and “Faults signalled on the display” on page 316 where the possible causes of the
main faults are listed.
Further information on the Ekip Touch trip unit and on the accessories mentioned in this chapter and which are
not covered in this manual are available on the website http://www.abb.com/abblibrary/DownloadCenter/,
with the Ekip Touch manual 1SDH001316R0002.

Predictive analysis program
1 - Presentation
Objectives Routine maintenance has always been considered a good way to maintain a high level of efficiency in the
installation, but it is also a cost item linked to the frequency with which it is performed.
Maintenance work can be promptly organized thanks to application of the new digital technologies and
constant monitoring of the vital parameters of the circuit-breaker during normal daily operation.
The ability to estimate the exact time that maintenance must be performed optimizes all aspects concerning
maintenance itself: plant efficiency, management of costs and investments, continuity of service.
This condition is known as predictive maintenance.
Proposal In ABB low voltage air circuit-breakers, the system that monitors and identifies the moment in which
maintenance is required is made available thanks to Predictive Maintenance in ABB Ability EDCS.
When it is connected to Cloud, the circuit-breaker continuously transmits a set of data which, once organized
and analyzed by algorithms, supply a trend with the state of aging of the circuit-breaker.
Operating principle The main factors that influence circuit-breaker aging are:
• The number of electrical and mechanical openings (switches).
• The interrupted current (%In, short-circuit, overload, etc...).
• Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, corrosion, ...
Constant evolution of these data and their combination affect circuit-breaker aging, which can be more or
less rapid.
An indication of the condition of the circuit-breaker and, above all, of the date when maintenance should next
be performed can be obtained by monitoring these data by means of Predictive Maintenance in ABB Ability
EDCS.
If something happens to the circuit-breaker during its normal operation, this data item is updated as a
consequence.
Advantages Any prompt identification of potential problems allows action to be taken:

• So as to optimize the way that the required resources are managed (organization of personnel, shorter
lead times for support - thus shorter downtimes,...) .
• On the quality processes and supply of replacement parts.
• So as to enhance customer satisfaction by ensuring that the installations are increasingly efficient.

LEAP Easy Audit On the basis of the environmental and specific operating conditions of the circuit-breaker in different types of
installation, LEAP AUDIT EASY provides a simple analysis using statistical data for the purpose of obtaining
an estimation of the conditions of the circuit-breaker itself.
LEAP EASY AUDIT can be performed by the actual client, free of charge, after registration in the dedicated
WEB page (link).
Procedure
1. The client registers in the dedicated WEB page (link). (link).
2. Waiting for mail with credentials to access software online and directly enter certain data concerning
use of the circuit-breaker (serial number of circuit-breaker, application, average annual environmental
conditions and number of operations (opening sequences) since installation).
3. Once this general information has been entered, the customer received a report via mail describing
the condition of his circuit-breaker.
The result is an analysis purely based on statistical data in the absence of access to the complete operating
data of the circuit-breaker.
Predictive maintenance in ABB A section dedicated to predictive maintenance can be activated in ABB Ability EDCS and used to supervise
Ability EDCS the conditions of the ABB air circuit-breakers connected in ABB Ability EDCS.
If a maintenance contract has been drawn up with ABB service, evidence of maintenance efficacy will also
be apparent in ABB Ability EDCS.
