SACE Emax: the reference standard
in air circuit-breakers
SACE Emax low-voltage ai r ci rcui t-breakers
have been desi gned and manufactured by
ABB SACE L.V. wi th the ai m of sati sfyi ng the
most advanced market requi rements.
Bui ldi ng on the hi ghly-acclai med results
obtai ned by the SACE I somax S seri es of
moulded-case ci rcui t-breakers, thi s new seri es
extends the characteri sti cs of safety, reli abi li ty,
i ntegrati on and coordi nati on that di sti ngui sh
the enti re ABB SACE L.V. low-voltage product
fami ly to hi gh rated current values.
The SACE Emax seri es won the favour of users
on all markets as soon as i t was launched,
provi ng i tself to be the perfect soluti on to the
requi rements of even the most technologi cally
sophi sti cated i nstallati ons.
Thanks to i ts new versi ons and performance
features, combi ned wi th a further-i ncreased
range of accessori es, SACE Emax makes i t
possi ble to anti ci pate the desi gn trends of the
future.

The SACE Emax seri es benefi ts from
ABB SACE L.V.sexperi ence i n the manufacture
of ai r ci rcui t- breakers, whi ch began i n the late
Fi fti eswi th the SACE O tomax seri es- the fi rst
ai r ci rcui t-breaker desi gned and manufactured
enti rely i n I taly. The seri escompri sed a
swi tchgear range wi th rated currentsof 1250 to
5000 ampsand a maxi mum breaki ng capaci ty
of 100 kA.
The success of thi s fi rst seri es was echoed by
that of the G30 seri es i n the Seventi es, whi ch
was the fi rst to offer electroni c releases
alongsi de tradi ti onal electromagneti c releases.
Thi stakesusto 1979, when ABB SACE L.V.
started manufacturi ng the SACE Novomax
seri es - the fi rst hi gh-performance current-
li mi ti ng ai r ci rcui t-breakers on the market.
1989 marked the arri val of the SACE
Megamax, a si gni fi cant step forwards that
i ntroduced PR1 mi croprocessor-based releases
i nstalled on-board the ci rcui t-breakers. Thanks
to thi s i nnovati on, ai r ci rcui t-breakers were
transformed from a si mple component to an
i ntegral and sophi sti cated part of a complex
system.
The strengths of the current SACE Emax seri es
bui ld on over half a centurys development
and are the logi cal consequence of a desi gn
and manufacturi ng phi losophy fi rmly focused
on i nnovati on, safety and reli abi li ty.

together wi th the desi gners requi rements

the release i tself usi ng the vector sum of the

usi ng a speci al toroi d coi l that i s i nstalled on
the connecti on between the star centre and

readi ng of the earth leakage current ( Source

usi ng electroni c resi dual-current relays from
a SACE RCQ swi tchboard wi th separate
toroi d coi l.
Thi s range of di fferent opti ons makes i t
possi ble to cover every earth fault protecti on
and selecti vi ty requi rement.

The growi ng complexi ty of i nstallati ons
together wi th the need for i ncreasi ngly
effi ci ent and safe swi tchgear has led ABB
SACE L.V. to develop uni ts that complete the
functi ons offered by a mi croprocessor-based
release, the brai ns of a ci rcui t-breaker.
The SACE PR010/T and SACE PR010/K uni ts
are the result thi s product development
approach.
SACE PR010/T:
fingertip control
Thi s uni t i s able to provi de test, programmi ng
and parameter readout functi ons for SACE
Emax seri es protecti on releases.
Thanks to i ts compact di mensi ons, si mpli ci ty
of operati on and handli ng, thi s uni t i s
parti cularly easy to use i n all condi ti ons, even
when the ci rcui t-breaker i s i nstalled. The Test
functi on, whi ch can be i mplemented usi ng
both releases, makes i t possi ble to check all
the protecti on functi ons i n two di fferent ways,
ei ther manually or automati cally,
si multaneously moni tori ng whether the
mi croprocessor i s operati ng correctly. I t i s also
possi ble to store any test results of i nterest i n
the uni t i tself and export them to a personal
computer usi ng the report download

out on the PR112 range of releases.
ABB SACE L.V. also suppli es a floppy di sk

i mplement a load control functi on that acts
di rectly on the operati ng means of other
