This document describes the Ekip CI - Contactor Interface for SACE XT2, XT4, XT5, XT7, and XT7M circuit breakers, providing installation and maintenance instructions.
Function Description
The Ekip CI (Contactor Interface) is a module designed to facilitate the connection and control of SACE Tmax XT series circuit breakers (XT2, XT4, XT5, XT7, XT7M) with external contactor systems or other control devices. It acts as an interface, allowing for remote operation and monitoring of the circuit breaker's status. The module integrates with the Ekip Supply and Ekip Com systems, enabling communication and power supply for its operation.
The Ekip CI module provides the necessary connections for external control signals, allowing the circuit breaker to be operated (e.g., tripped or reset) based on commands from a contactor or other control logic. It also provides feedback on the circuit breaker's status, such as whether it is open or closed, or if a trip has occurred. This interface is crucial for integrating the circuit breaker into larger electrical control systems, ensuring coordinated operation and enhanced safety.
For XT7M models, the interface includes specific features for managing the spring charging mechanism, indicating whether the spring is discharged or charged, and providing "Push ON" and "Push OFF" functionalities. The module also includes visual indicators (LEDs) to confirm its operational status and communication with the Ekip Supply and the release unit.
