Overview

The ABB SPBAA240R (SKU: SPBAA240R) Bell Alarm Switch from ABB Electrification provides essential remote trip indication for 4000A, 240R Frame Power Break II circuit breakers. This accessory is specifically designed to signal when a circuit breaker has tripped due to internal faults, relay trips, shunt trips, or undervoltage release module operations. Crucially, the SPBAA240R remains inactive during normal ON/OFF switching or manual push-to-trip operations, preventing false alarms and ensuring accurate operational awareness. Featuring a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch element, the SPBAA240R offers both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts. This configuration allows for flexible integration into control and monitoring systems, enabling diverse signaling capabilities such as activating audible alarms, visual indicators, or triggering remote notifications. A prominent visual, mechanical pop-out target protrudes through the switch door upon activation, providing immediate local confirmation of a trip event. Resetting the bell alarm is user-friendly: it can be manually reset by depressing the mechanical target or automatically reset upon closing the circuit breaker. The SPBAA240R is rated for 240 Vac and 125-250 Vdc control power duty, aligning with common industrial power requirements. Designed for field installation, it offers a straightforward upgrade path for existing Power Break II circuit breakers. All ABB devices, including this bell alarm switch, are UL listed for factory or field installation, ensuring compliance and reliability in industrial and commercial applications. Key specifications include a 4000A current rating, 240 Vac / 125-250 Vdc voltage rating, and an SPDT switch configuration. It is compatible with Power Break II circuit breakers.
