Overview

The ABB SPAS240AB8DR is an auxiliary switch designed for draw-out circuit breakers, providing remote indication of main contact status. This model features 8 Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch elements, enabling comprehensive monitoring of open or closed positions. It is rated for 240V AC and 125-250V DC, with specific contact ratings of 6A at 120V-600 Vac, 1/2A at 125 Vdc, and 1/4A at 250 Vdc. The SPAS240AB8DR is specifically designed for draw-out breaker configurations and comes with pre-wired secondary terminals for simplified installation. It mounts to the left of the breaker and operates independently of the breaker's tripping mechanism, ensuring reliable feedback on main contact status. This auxiliary switch is compatible with ABB's Power Break™ II breaker series, including AB8 type extenders. Applications include switchgear, motor control centers, and distribution panels where remote status monitoring is critical for diagnostics, alarm systems, relay control, or logic circuits. The SPAS240AB8DR is manufactured in the US and is UL-listed. This unit is the field-installable version for draw-out breakers, with the factory-installed equivalent being SPAS240AB8D. Ensure compatibility with your specific ABB breaker model.
