What is the ABB XT2N-160 EKIP LIG IN=63A 4P FF MCCB?
The ABB XT2N-160 EKIP LIG is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the SACE Tmax XT series, rated for 63 A nominal current and up to 160 A uninterrupted current (Iu). It is a fixed (non-drawout) type with front terminals for easy panel mounting and uses the Ekip LIG electronic trip unit for adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous protection.
What are the electrical ratings of the ABB XT2N-160 EKIP LIG?
It has a rated operational voltage of 690 V AC, insulation voltage of 1000 V, and impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV. The breaking capacities are 65 kA @ 230 V, 36 kA @ 415 V, 30 kA @ 500 V, and 10 kA @ 690 V, making it suitable for industrial low-voltage distribution systems.
What type of trip unit does the ABB XT2N-160 use?
It comes with an electronic release type EL “Ekip LIG” (also referred to as Ekip LSI or DIP) that provides adjustable overload (L), short-time (S), and instantaneous (I) protections. This allows precise coordination and selectivity in switchgear applications.
What are the mechanical and physical characteristics?
The breaker measures approximately 120 mm (W) × 130 mm (H) × 82.5 mm (D) and weighs around 1.6 kg. It features bolt-type front terminals with a tightening torque of ~6 N·m and supports busbars from 32.5 to 100 mm². Mechanical endurance is 25,000 operations, and electrical endurance is 8,000 operations.
What are the installation and connection details for the XT2N-160 FF version?
The “FF” version denotes a fixed, front-connected unit. It is designed for screw or bolt connection, suitable for compact switchboards or motor control panels. Wiring and tightening should follow ABB installation torque and clearance guidelines.
Which standards and certifications apply to this breaker?
The XT2N-160 complies with IEC 60947-2, carries CE marking, and meets RoHS/REACH environmental standards. Certain variants also hold GL and LR marine type approvals. Always confirm certification markings on the product label or datasheet.
Where is the ABB XT2N-160 typically used?
It is used for power distribution and circuit protection in low-voltage systems, including switchgear panels, transformers, and generator feeders. The adjustable electronic trip makes it ideal for industrial, commercial, and OEM applications requiring selective protection.
