Abb breaker nameplate

A very specific question!

An "ABB breaker nameplate" refers to the label or plate attached to an ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) circuit breaker, which provides information about the breaker's specifications, ratings, and capabilities.

Here's what you might typically find on an ABB breaker nameplate:

  1. Model number: The specific model number of the breaker, which can help identify the type and characteristics of the breaker.
  2. Voltage rating: The maximum voltage the breaker is designed to handle.
  3. Current rating: The maximum current the breaker is designed to interrupt (i.e., trip) in case of a fault.
  4. Power rating: The maximum power the breaker is designed to handle.
  5. Pole configuration: The number of poles (e.g., single-pole, two-pole, three-pole) and the configuration of the poles (e.g., top and bottom, side by side).
  6. Type: The type of breaker, such as a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) or a vacuum circuit breaker (VCB).
  7. Insulation level: The level of insulation the breaker provides, such as IP20 (basic protection) or IP67 (waterproof).
  8. Certifications: Any relevant certifications, such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories) or IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) markings.
  9. Manufacturer's information: The ABB logo and other manufacturer-specific information.

The nameplate may also include other information, such as the breaker's thermal-magnetic trip characteristics, arc fault protection, or other special features.
