ABB Emax 2 Harness Function Module

Function Modules

Ekip Power Modules

The Ekip Power Module supplies power to all Ekip striker and modules present on the terminal box and circuit breakers from multiple auxiliary power sources (AC or DC) available in the switchgear.

The Ekip Power Module supplies power to all Ekip strippers and modules present on the terminal box and circuit breakers.

The module is mounted in the terminal box to allow installation of other advanced modules.

It can be installed in the field at any time.

Two versions are available depending on the control voltage:

- Ekip Power Module (110-240V AC/DC)

- Ekip power modules (24-48V DC)

Ekip 2K Signalling Module

The Ekip 2K signalling module is supplied with 2 input and 2 output contacts and can be used to remotely control and indicate alarm messages and circuit breaker tripping.

It can be programmed via the tripper's display or via the Ekip Connect software.

In addition, the combination of events can be freely configured when using Ekip Connect.

The module is suitable for all Ekip Touch and Hi-Touch circuit breakers for distribution and generator protection.

Three versions of the Ekip 2K signalling module are available: Ekip 2K-1. Ekip 2K-2 and Ekip 2K-3.

E2.2. E4.2 and E6.2 can be fitted with up to 3 modules simultaneously; E1.2 can be fitted with up to 2 modules simultaneously.

Ekip 10K Signalling Module

The Ekip 10K signalling module is a DIN rail mounted external signalling unit for Emax 2 circuit breakers.

It is supplied with 10 pairs of contacts and is used to provide electrical signalling for the timing and release of protective arresters.

These contacts can be freely configured with any event or alarm, or a combination of both, if the Ekip Connect software is connected.

Several Ekip 10K signalling modules (up to 3) can be installed in the same Ekip tripper.

The Ekip 10K signalling modules can be supplied with DC or AC power and can be connected to all the release units via the internal bus or via the Ekip Link module.

Ekip Synchronisation Module This module is used to control the synchronisation conditions of two parallel lines.

The Ekip Synchronisation Module measures the output voltage of the two phases of a line via an external transformer and compares it with the voltage measured at the circuit breaker.

An output contact can be used, which is activated when synchronisation is achieved and closes the circuit breaker by wiring to the closing coil.

With the Ekip Com communication module, both Emax 2 circuit breakers can be integrated into an industrial communication network for remote monitoring and control of the circuit breakers.

The module is suitable for all Ekip Touch and Hi-Touch circuit breakers for power distribution and generator protection.

As they are mounted in the terminal box, communication can be maintained via the draw-out circuit breaker even in the swing-out position.

Several Ekip Com modules can be installed at the same time and can therefore be connected to communication systems with different protocols.

Ekip Com modules for Modbus RTU, Profibus-DP and DeviceNet™ contain selectively activated terminating resistors and dip switches.

Ekip Com modules for Modbus RTU, Profibus-DP and DeviceNet™ include selectively activated termination resistors and dip switches for terminating serial networks or buses. Profibus-DP also contains polarisation resistors and dip switches to activate it.

Ekip Com modules are supplied with position indicating auxiliary contacts Ekip AUP and circuit breaker ready contacts Ekip RTC.

For industrial applications requiring higher reliability of the communication network, redundant connection to the network is ensured by the Ekip Com Redundant Communication Module, which is installed together with the corresponding Ekip Com module.

Actuating circuit breakers

The Emax 2 Harness double-conversion system allows the choice of ABB Emax 2 actuating circuit breakers depending on the application.

This includes different types of circuit breakers, different rated currents, different breaking classes, different Ekip intelligent circuit breakers and different numbers of poles;

A wide range of accessories can be added as required, allowing for a customised power conversion solution.
