Overview
The ABB SACE Tmax XT2L 125 70A is a moulded case circuit breaker from ABB’s proven Tmax XT family. Tmax XT moulded case circuit breakers guarantee an extremely high performance level while being progressively smaller in size, simple to install and able to provide increasingly better safety. The XT2L variant carries an electronic trip unit rated for the 125A frame, with a nominal current (In) setting of 70A. This breaker is suitable for industrial automation, motor control, and electrical distribution applications requiring reliable overload and short-circuit protection.
Key Features
- Frame Size: 125A, XT2 form factor accommodates multiple rating configurations
- Trip Unit: Electronic (L-type) for precise and repeatable protection
- Current Limiting: XT2H, XT2L, and XT2V breakers have undergone tests per the UL489 Standard and are classified as UL current limiting circuit breakers.
- Single-Phase Capable: XT2 three pole circuit breakers, equipped with thermal-magnetic trip units, can be used in single phase applications. For this purpose, they are marked as follows according to UL standard: Suitable for single phase application up to 347VAC.
- Reverse Feed Rated: Power can be supplied from bottom terminals of the XT2 breaker up to a maximum of 480V.
- High Interrupt Rating: Max interrupt rating of 200 kA at 480 V, 42 kA at 600 V.
