Overview

The ABB Electrification SPAS240AB8R (SKU: SPAS240AB8R) is a field-installable auxiliary switch designed for precise remote indication of circuit breaker main contact status. This model features 8 SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch elements, providing a total of 16 contacts (8 Normally Open and 8 Normally Closed). Each element offers a direct interface for monitoring whether a circuit breaker's main contacts are open or closed without direct electrical connection to the main power circuit. This auxiliary switch is rated for 240 Vac and 125-250 Vdc, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial power systems. Constructed from durable thermoset material, it utilizes secure screw terminals for reliable connections. The SPAS240AB8R is designed for panel mounting and is part of the AB8 series, specifically functioning as an auxiliary switch extender for ABB Power Break™ II breakers. Manufactured in the US, this component is essential for integration into switchgear, motor control centers, and industrial distribution panels. Its primary applications include remote status monitoring in substations and power distribution networks, enabling seamless integration with SCADA systems for automated control and diagnostics, and enhancing industrial safety protocols through fault detection. The continuous status tracking capabilities support predictive maintenance strategies by allowing for proactive identification of potential issues. This auxiliary switch adheres to ABB Electrification quality standards and is a direct replacement for the factory-installed SPAS240AB8.
