New 600VAC - Tmax Molded Case Circuit Breakers – World Class Innovation

ADO Terminal Block System The Tmax range of molded-case circuit breakers is now completed with two new sizes rated up to 600 A at 600V AC. A result of an extensive research project, ABB's patented Tmax, T4 and T5 extend industrial performance barriers to deliver far more protection in a small molded case enclosure. The Tmax T4 and T5 breakers can provide 150 kA at 480 V AC, 85 kA at 600 V AC breaking capacity. The T4 is rated for up to 250A and is the most compact breaker (4 x 4 x 8 in.) available today. The T5 is rated at up to 600A while only slightly larger. Their high trip capacity reduces electro- dynamic stress and allows optimized sizing of cables, busbars, ducts and supports. A complete range of common accessories and connection terminals make Tmax your best choice in molded case circuit breakers.

Important Features:

  • Tmax T4, rated 250 A at 600V AC
  • Tmax T5, rated 600 A at 600V AC
  • Trip capacity 150 kA at 480 V AC, 85 kA at 600 V AC
  • Easy trip coordination on the load side
  • Full range of field installable electronic and thermo magnetic trip devices
  • Double insulation for safety
  • Positive operation, protection you can rely on
  • Full range of connection terminal options and field installable accessories.

New ProgramaCube® Slashes Cost Of Automatic Lubrication Control

ProgramaCube Timer Rotating parts, bearings, and gears need regular lubrication to prevent premature failure. Automatic lubrication systems provide a cost effective solution for this requirement. An equipment manufacturer designed a system using a micro PLC and a 20A solid state relay. They developed custom software to operate the PLC. (This application requires one output. Most microPLC's have four to eight outputs; extra hardware means extra cost in this application.)

ABB's application engineers suggested a solution that saved this OEM 73% over their original design. The ABB design reduced the cost of the control electronics, connection, and the cost of the enclosure. The selected ProgramaCube® control modules include a 20 A solid state output and are shipped with the control software installed. These modules are backed by a 10 Year Warranty and have UL & CSA approvals and CE.

Automatic Lubrication Design Cost Comparison:

    Auto Lube using a MicroPLC:
  • Micro PLC approx. ~ $120
  • 20 A Solid State Relay Required ~ $25
  • NEMA 12 Enclosure for outdoor use ~ $45
  • Number of connections required: 9 ~ $13
  • Requires Programming Knowledge!
  • Total cost ~ $203 ea., or 500 ea./yr ~ $101,500
    Auto Lube using a 20A ProgramaCube® Module:
  • NHPD Onboard Adjust, 20 A Module ~ $45
  • Encapsulated Module - NEMA 4 Enclosure ~ $25
  • Standard Function, No Programming Required
  • Number of connections required: 4 ~ $6
  • Total cost ~ $76
  • Savings: 500 ea./yr ~ $63,000 ~ 73%!
