ABB

Active protection prevents incidentsfrom occurring

Fault-free zone extends from multi-function wall over power contacts to theshort-circuit protection device of the

functional unit

Embedded vertical distribution bars forsuperior phase segregation andmaximum creepage distance

No exposed live parts (touch-proof

design IP2X)

No shutters required

Passive protection safeguardspersonnel and property

Compartmentalized/ modular designapproach limits arc damage

Segregated compartments Multi-function wall forms a gas-tight seal

between main bus bar and equipmentcompartment

Separation of the power and control

circuitry isolates control technicians frompower circuits

ABB

Availability and reliabilitySolutions


Designed for reliability

Power contacts are independentlycertified for 1000+ operations, morethan 5X industry standard

Cable forces are decoupled from thepower contacts to eliminate hot spots

Cables are double-insulated

Better cooling through individual ventingof compartments to avoid thermal

interference
