Circuit breaker energy storage motor

What is a motor circuit breaker?

The device to reduce such burden is our "Motor circuit breaker". Undertaking multiple protection roles stated above, the Motor circuit breaker can not only protect electric wires and load devices from short-circuit accident but also simplify motor circuit combination.

What is a solid-state circuit breaker?

The solid-state circuit breaker will be around 100 times faster than traditional electro-mechanical breakers. Its speed maximizes the performance of power distribution systems, while maintaining service continuity. The new ABB breaker will also improve safety and protection for people and equipment.

Why should you use a solid state circuit breaker?

Electric Transportation: In marine vessels, for example, the solid-state circuit breaker will make it possible to keep systems up and running without much interruption, as it is possible to disconnect just a faulty zone while keeping the rest of the electrical distribution system running; complete system shutdowns will be a thing of the past.

When will a ground-breaking low voltage circuit breaker be available?

The ground-breaking low voltage circuit breaker concept will be revealed to the public for the first time at the Hannover Messe in Germany. The product will be available from 2020.

How often should a circuit breaker be replaced?

Traditional mechanical circuit breakers also require regular servicing and have to be replaced after about 10,000 operations. ABB’s solid-state concept circuit breaker can achieve millions of operations with complete reliability and near-zero servicing.
