Trip unit Overview

1 - General characteristics

Families SACE Emax 2 can be configured to operate with two Trip unit families:
• Ekip Dip with interface via dip-switches
• Ekip Touch with touchscreen display
Both families provide protection and measuring functions related to signals from the installation and are
available in different models and versions.
There are four Ekip Touch models available:
• Ekip Touch
• Ekip Hi-Touch
• Ekip G Touch
• Ekip G-Hi Touch
All Ekip Touch models are also available in the version with LCD display for installations situated in particularly
aggressive environmental conditions.

Main functions Ekip Dip and Ekip Touch provides the following functions:
1. Measurement: measurement of different quantities, such as: current, voltage, power, energy
2. Protection: depending on the measurements made and the parameters configured by the user, the
Trip unit checks for the presence of alarms and commands circuit-breaker opening if necessary
3. Signalling: management of contacts and communication networks to optimize plant efficiency,
communication among different CB and other functions
The functions are provided both by transducers and actuators inside the circuit-breaker, and by means of a
vast range of external accessories.

Presentation

Figure 1 Figure 2
Ekip Dip has a dip-switch (1) interface for configuring and verifying the protections and main parameters
(page 18).

measurements and information (page 35).
The nominal size of the Rating plug (2) can be checked on the front.
All the external connections, including the supply and communication modules, the external sensors and
