ABB Unveils Emax 3: A Next-Gen Circuit Breaker
In a significant advancement, ABB has launched the next-generation SACE Emax 3 air circuit breaker, designed specifically to bolster resilience and energy security in vital infrastructures like data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities, hospitals, and airports. As industries increasingly rely on stable power systems, the Emax 3 addresses mounting concerns regarding cybersecurity, power supply stability, and the escalating power demands spurred by artificial intelligence applications in data centers.
Building upon the innovative Emax 2, the Emax 3 introduces cutting-edge technologies aimed at minimizing the risk of power outages. Equipped with the industry's most accurate power sensors and sophisticated data analytics capabilities, the Emax 3 meticulously collects and analyzes real-time data on energy consumption, system status, and environmental conditions, such as temperature. This critical information can be shared remotely or through the Emax 3’s user-friendly touch screen interface, offering users timely insights, alerts, and proactive maintenance recommendations.
What sets the Emax 3 apart is its groundbreaking achievement as the world’s first air circuit breaker to attain cybersecurity level 2 certification under IEC 62443 standards. Additionally, it features a fully integrated arc flash detection system, marking it as the first product of its kind to enhance safety and reliability significantly.
Massimiliano Chifaretti, President of ABB Electrification’s Smart Power division, emphasized the necessity for reliable electrical systems among critical infrastructures.
