Core Advantages
-
Adjustable Thermal-Magnetic Protection: The TMA trip unit provides dual protection with adjustable settings. The thermal (overload) protection is adjustable from 175 A to 250 A, while the magnetic (short-circuit) protection is adjustable from 1250 A to 2500 A. This flexibility allows precise coordination with downstream protective devices for optimal selectivity.
-
High Breaking Capacity: With a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) of 70 kA at 400 V AC, the XT4H250 delivers exceptional fault current protection. The rated service short-circuit breaking capacity (Ics) reaches 100 kA at 220-240 V AC, ensuring reliable operation even under severe fault conditions.
-
Compact High-Performance Design: The SACE Tmax XT series is designed to provide high breaking capacity in a compact footprint, saving valuable panel space. The XT4 frame offers a 250 A rating while maintaining dimensions suitable for dense switchgear configurations.
-
Flexible Installation Options: The breaker supports both fixed and plug-in installation configurations. Motor drive operation is available as an optional accessory, enabling remote switching capability for automated power management systems.
-
Complete System Compatibility: The XT4H250 is compatible with a comprehensive range of ABB accessories including auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and communication modules. This modular approach enables customized configurations for specific application requirements.
-
Standards Compliance: The breaker complies with IEC 60947-2 standards and carries CE certification. The rated insulation voltage (Ui) of 1000 V and rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) of 8 kV ensure reliable performance in demanding electrical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the model number XT4H250 TMA250-2500 FF 3P represent?
A: The model number breaks down as follows: XT4H = Tmax XT4 frame size, High breaking capacity version; 250 = 250 A rated current; TMA = Thermal-Magnetic Adjustable trip unit; 250-2500 = Trip unit setting range (250 A thermal, 2500 A magnetic); FF = Fixed version with Front terminals; 3P = Three-pole configuration.
Q: What is the difference between the thermal and magnetic protection settings?
A: The thermal (overload) protection is adjustable from 175 A to 250 A and responds to sustained overcurrent conditions. The magnetic (short-circuit) protection is adjustable from 1250 A to 2500 A and responds instantaneously to high fault currents. Both settings are adjustable to coordinate with downstream protective devices.
Q: What is the breaking capacity of this circuit breaker?
A: The XT4H250 has a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) of 70 kA at 400 V AC. The rated service short-circuit breaking capacity (Ics) reaches 100 kA at 220-240 V AC, providing exceptional protection against fault currents.
Q: Can this breaker be motorized for remote operation?
A: Yes, motor drive operation is available as an optional accessory. This enables remote opening and closing of the circuit breaker for automated power management and SCADA integration.
Q: What accessories are available for this circuit breaker?
A: The XT4H250 is compatible with a comprehensive range of accessories including auxiliary contacts (NO/NC), shunt trips, undervoltage releases, rotary handles, motor operators, and communication modules for advanced monitoring.
Q: What is the rated voltage and insulation level?
A: The breaker has a rated operational voltage (Ur) of 690 V AC and a rated insulation voltage (Ui) of 1000 V. The rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) is 8 kV.
Q: What is the difference between the FF and other terminal configurations?
A: "FF" indicates the breaker comes with Front terminals on both the line and load sides, designed for front-side bolt connection. Other configurations may include rear terminals or plug-in connections depending on the specific model variant.
