Overview

The ABB SPAS240AB12R (SKU: SPAS240AB12R) is a field-installable auxiliary switch designed for ABB Power Break II circuit breakers, specifically the AB12 type. This accessory provides crucial remote indication of the main circuit breaker contacts' status, whether open or closed, through twelve (12) independent Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch elements. Each SPDT element offers versatile signaling capabilities for control and interlocking systems. The switch contacts precisely mirror the main breaker contacts, opening with the breaker and closing just before the breaker, ensuring accurate real-time status updates. The SPAS240AB12R is rated for 240VAC and 125-250VDC operation. Individual SPDT switch ratings are 6A at 120-600 Vac, 1/2A at 125 Vdc, and 1/4A at 250 Vdc. This auxiliary switch mounts to the left of stationary Power Break II breakers. For draw-out breaker applications, a pre-wired version (SPAS240AB12DR) is available to simplify installation. The device is UL Listed for factory or field installation, meeting essential safety and compliance standards. It is an ideal solution for remote status signaling to indicating lights, relays, or logic circuits within power distribution, industrial automation, and commercial electrical systems. Ensure proper compatibility with your specific ABB Power Break II breaker model.
