Overview

The ABB SPAS240AB4R auxiliary switch (SKU: SPAS240AB4R) is a field-installable accessory designed for ABB Electrification's Power Break II circuit breakers, specifically the AB4 type. This auxiliary switch provides remote indication of the main circuit breaker's contact position, signaling whether it is OPEN or CLOSED via four Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch elements. The switch elements precisely mirror the main breaker contacts, opening after and closing before the main contacts for accurate status feedback. This synchronization is crucial for remote status lighting, breaker-to-breaker interlocking, and control logic systems requiring precise breaker position information. Rated for 240VAC and 125-250VDC, the SPAS240AB4R is suitable for diverse control circuit applications in industrial, commercial, and utility environments. The switch mounts to the left of the breaker board with a single screw for straightforward installation. The SPAS240AB4R is part of ABB's Power Break II series, a trusted line of circuit protection and control solutions. This accessory ensures dependable performance where accurate circuit breaker status monitoring is essential. Key applications include: - Remote status indication for circuit breaker positions - Integration with control logic systems requiring breaker contact feedback - Breaker-to-breaker interlocking for safety and coordination - Status lighting for operator panels and control rooms - Monitoring in power distribution and control panels The SPAS240AB4R is designed to work seamlessly with ABB Power Break II AB4 circuit breakers, providing a reliable and precise method for monitoring breaker contact status in critical applications.
