ABB Technical Application Paper

ABB’s low-voltage circuit breaker product line is supported by a comprehensive collection of Technical Application Papers. These documents provide in-depth analysis of technical issues related to switching and electrical protection equipment. They are particularly designed for consultants, sales engineers, and large-scale installers, offering practical and implementable solutions using ABB products.

Each paper typically includes:

  • Theoretical overview of the technical issue
  • ABB product-based solutions
  • Technical appendices with detailed information
  • Glossary of specialized terms for better understanding

Key topics covered include:

  • Selectivity in low-voltage systems: Guidelines for proper circuit breaker coordination
  • MV/LV transformer substations: Theoretical background and short-circuit calculation examples
  • Earth faults and indirect contact protection: Protection solutions to mitigate risks
  • Arc-resistant switchgear: Design and use of arc-proof equipment for enhanced safety
  • Three-phase asynchronous motors: Coordination of motor protection with ABB solutions
  • Power factor correction and harmonic filtering: Methods for improving power quality
  • Photovoltaic, marine, and wind systems: Technical insights and application recommendations
  • Smart grids and DC microgrids: Operational principles and design guidelines based on relevant standards

The Technical Application Papers are a collection of analytical and educational documents that focus on critical topics such as circuit breaker selection, circuit protection, electromagnetic interference, grounding issues, and protective device operation. These papers are essential tools for increasing precision in low-voltage electrical system design.
