Abb circuit breaker energy storage tips

Why should you choose a new ABB breaker?

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. As there is no energy release when the current is interrupted, there is no risk of arc energy exposure.

Why should you choose ABB Energy Storage?

ABB’s fully digitalized energy storage portfolio raises the efficiency of the grid at every level with factory-built, pre-tested solutions that achieve extensive quality control for the highest level of safety.

How fast can a solid state circuit breaker detect a short circuit?

ABB’s solid-state circuit breaker can detect and respond to a short circuit fault 100 times faster than a mechanical circuit breaker. Energy storage systems and their corresponding electrical grid services are strongly affected by the downtime in case of an internal fault.

Why is a solid-state circuit breaker important?

Energy efficiency is a crucial aspect for all electrical installations, including those operating on islanded grids such as vessels with an onboard DC grid. Compared to other semiconductor technologies, ABB’s solid-state circuit breaker guarantees 70% less power losses during the conduction phase.
