Supporting the development of new energy fields such as wind power and solar energy is a major “tool” for empowering the green and low-carbon transformation of the industry

It can not only protect electrical circuits and ensure long-term and stable operation of equipment, but also reduce energy consumption and energy waste according to user needs

Adopting a new operating mechanism and arc extinguishing system, it has a high mechanical and electrical lifespan. Its alarm tracking and power grid analysis functions can effectively ensure the continuity of equipment operation.

With the rapid development of renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar energy, significant changes have been brought to the distribution field. Building a new type of power system with new energy as the main body has become a focus of the industry. This development has prompted people to pay more attention to continuous power supply with higher performance requirements, more convenient and efficient intelligent maintenance, and emerging application scenarios. To assist in the upgrading of the renewable energy industry and create new development formats that are intelligent, data-driven, and automated, ABB has further broken through technological boundaries and launched the Emax 2/E high-voltage air circuit breaker, leveraging innovation to gather momentum for green development and empower a sustainable future.

Increase efficiency and energy conservation, reduce power losses

The Emax 2/E circuit breaker supports the trend of energy efficiency development in the field of power generation and distribution, with a series of frame currents up to 6300 A. This product can increase the power supply voltage to 1200V AC voltage (up to 1380V), effectively improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing power losses. In addition, the Emax 2/E circuit breaker can also be operated through ABB Capability ™ EAM Energy Efficiency and Asset Health Management Solution processes data on electrical equipment to optimize system performance.

The Emax 2/E circuit breaker is equipped with a protective release that can be integrated with an energy control module. This module can evaluate energy consumption and manage loads to maintain or reduce electricity consumption during peak hours, reduce energy consumption, reduce electricity bills, and promote green development.

High dimensional stability, ensuring equipment operation safety

In order to better meet the continuously growing power demand and cope with harsh environmental power consumption scenarios, the Emax 2/E circuit breaker can reach a rated insulation voltage of 1500V, a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 85kA at 1000V, and 65kA (up to 1380V) at 1200V, with high short-term withstand current and various efficient protection functions. In addition, the Emax 2/E circuit breaker adopts a new operating mechanism and arc extinguishing system, which has a high mechanical and electrical lifespan. Its alarm tracking and power grid analysis functions can effectively ensure the continuity of equipment operation.

Strong flexibility to meet different installation needs

Emax 2/E has wide area connectivity and can be fully integrated into the smart grid of buildings or industrial plants. This product has a compact design structure, which can reduce the size and cross-sectional area of the busbar compared to conventional solutions, forming a compact and high rated current switchgear. Therefore, it can reduce the size of the entire switchgear, thereby reducing the use of raw materials and reducing costs. The Emax 2/E series has four shell size options: E1.2, E2.2, E4.2, and E6.2, which can effectively match the rated voltage requirements and easily meet different installation needs.

Intelligent control with multiple functions

Emax 2/E is an intelligent circuit breaker with all in one scheme control, which can comprehensively achieve advanced protection, logic program editing, flexible communication, and comprehensive power management functions. By using ABB Ability Marketplace ™ The dedicated software package provided allows users to upgrade various protection, measurement, and other functions of Emax 2/E circuit breakers during their lifecycle, enabling easy testing, monitoring, configuration management, data analysis, and report viewing.

Green and low-carbon, supporting new energy applications

The new generation Emax 2/E circuit breaker supports the development of new energy fields such as wind power and solar energy through advanced technical performance. It can not only protect electrical circuits and ensure the sustained and stable operation of equipment, but also reduce energy consumption and energy waste according to user needs, making it a major “tool” for empowering the industry’s green and low-carbon transformation. The Emax 2/E circuit breaker has voltage applications up to 1380VAC (i.e. 1150V+20%) and single pole short circuit performance (IT system) of 800-900V, which can meet high voltage or high altitude requirements in application scenarios.

Yang Rong, Vice President of ABB Electric China, stated that, Under the dual carbon goal, building a new type of power system with new energy as the main body requires digital, intelligent, and low-carbon new power equipment as support. ABB, based on its deep industry expertise and forward-looking digital technology, continuously improves product performance, optimizes business structure, and provides distribution solutions that meet current market demand and meet future development trends. While promoting its own sustainable development, it assists customers and partners Accompanied by improving quality and efficiency, achieving low-carbon transformation, and jointly creating a green future.
