ABB has launched upgrade kits that keep old electrical systems working longer — and connect them to cloud-based energy management, supervision and diagnostics functions. The kits directly replace older Megamax breakers approaching the end of their working life with intelligent Emax2 circuit breakers, while retaining the original switchboard.
The kit enables ABB Megamax to be replaced with a new intelligent, connected Emax 2 breaker in less than 30 min, providing a 90% reduction in installation time versus the traditional retrofit solution — the Hard Bus RetroFill.
Adding the Ekip SmartVision plug-in makes it possible to connect old electrical switchgear to the IoT, increases reliability and can boost energy savings by up to 30%. Combining the connectivity and sensing capabilities of Emax 2 circuit breakers with a cloud platform means that power consumption, costs and electrical behaviour are continuously monitored and analysed and users receive actionable information for quick, easy implementation.
The Megamax retrofit replacement kit requires no dismantling of existing fixed parts and no rewiring of auxiliary circuits. With the addition of just one moving part and some simple wiring and safety features, the Emax 2 slots straight into place, maximising uptime.
