ABB MCBs — S200 Series for UAE and GCC Distribution Boards

The ABB S200 series MCB is one of the most widely specified miniature circuit breakers in the GCC for residential and commercial distribution boards. Key specifications for UAE and Saudi Arabia projects:

  • Current ratings: 0.5A to 63A (1P, 2P, 3P, 4P)
  • Breaking capacity: 6kA (S200M), 10kA (S200P) at 230/400V AC
  • Trip curves: B, C, D — C curve is standard for most UAE/Saudi commercial applications
  • Standards: IEC 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 compliant, G-Mark certified
  • Temperature derating: Apply 10–15% upsize factor for panels in outdoor or non-air-conditioned enclosures above 40°C ambient

ABB Tmax XT MCCBs — High-Performance Protection for Industrial Panels

The ABB Tmax XT series MCCB is the preferred choice for switchgear panel builders across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Key features:

  • Current ratings: 16A to 250A (Tmax XT1 to XT4)
  • Breaking capacity: up to 200kA Icu at 415V AC
  • Trip units: Fixed thermal-magnetic (TMD/TMF) and electronic (Ekip) trip units
  • Accessories: Shunt trip (SHT), undervoltage release (UVR), auxiliary contacts, rotary handle
  • Installation: Fixed, plug-in, and withdrawable versions
  • Standards: IEC 60947-2 compliant, G-Mark certified for GCC
For panel builders: The Tmax XT range offers plug-and-play accessory mounting that significantly reduces panel assembly time. If you are building to tight project deadlines in Riyadh or Abu Dhabi, this is a key advantage.

ABB SACE Emax 2 — ACB for Main Incomers and Large MCC Panels

The ABB SACE Emax 2 is ABB's flagship air circuit breaker for main incomer and bus coupler positions on large industrial and infrastructure projects:

  • Current ratings: 400A to 6300A
  • Breaking capacity: up to 150kA
  • Ekip trip unit: Integrated power metering, energy management, and IoT connectivity
  • Versions: Fixed (E) and withdrawable (W) for MCC and switchboard installations
  • Standards: IEC 60947-2 compliant

ABB AF Series Contactors — 50Hz/60Hz Universal for UAE and Saudi Arabia

The ABB AF series contactor is the most specified contactor range for switchgear panel builders supplying projects across both the UAE (50Hz) and Saudi Arabia (60Hz):

  • Universal electronic coil: Operates on 24–500V AC/DC, 50Hz and 60Hz — one product covers UAE and Saudi Arabia without coil substitution
  • Current range: AF09 (9A) to AF750 (750A)
  • AC-3 duty rating: Rated for squirrel-cage motor switching per IEC 60947-4-1
  • Energy saving: Electronic coil reduces power consumption by up to 80% in held position vs standard AC coils
  • High ambient tolerance: Rated for 60°C ambient — suitable for non-air-conditioned MCC panels in Saudi Arabia
Why this matters for GCC panel builders: Standard AC coil contactors are frequency-specific — a 50Hz coil will overheat on a 60Hz supply and fail. ABB AF contactors eliminate this risk entirely, making them the safest choice for companies building panels for both UAE and KSA customers.

ABB ACS VFDs — Variable Frequency Drives for Pumps, Fans and Compressors

Electrical Junction stocks ABB's most popular variable frequency drives for industrial motor control applications across the GCC and Africa:

ABB VFD Range Power Range IP Rating Best For
ACS355 0.37–22 kW IP20/IP54 Light industrial, HVAC, conveyor drives
ACS580 0.75–250 kW IP21/IP55 Pumps, fans, general industrial
ACS880 0.55–5600 kW IP21/IP55 Heavy industrial, oil & gas, water treatment

50Hz/60Hz compatibility: ABB ACS drives accept both 50Hz and 60Hz input supply. Output frequency is set by the drive parameter — confirm motor nameplate frequency when commissioning on Saudi Arabia's 60Hz grid.

High ambient derating: ABB ACS VFDs require output current derating above 40°C ambient. For outdoor or non-air-conditioned panel installations in the GCC, derate by approximately 1–2% per degree above 40°C, or specify the IP54/IP55 variant with external heat sink.

Supplying ABB Products to UAE, Saudi Arabia and Africa

G-Mark Compliance for GCC

ABB's mainstream LV product ranges — including S200 MCBs, Tmax XT MCCBs, and AF contactors — carry G-Mark (Gulf Conformity Mark) certification for GCC markets. This is mandatory for import into Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. Electrical Junction confirms G-Mark status and provides SABER PCoC documentation for every Saudi export shipment.

Export to Africa

Electrical Junction regularly supplies ABB products to electrical trading companies and panel builders in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, and South Africa. We provide certificates of origin, commercial invoices, and packing lists formatted for African customs clearance. Air freight and sea freight consolidation options are available.

Product Authenticity

Every ABB product ships in original factory packaging with intact serial numbers. ABB's myABB Business portal allows buyers to verify product authenticity using the serial number. Counterfeit ABB products are a documented risk in the GCC grey market — always request a certificate of origin from your supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ABB AF contactors compatible with both 50Hz UAE and 60Hz Saudi Arabia supplies?

Yes. The ABB AF series contactors feature universal electronic coils rated 24–500V AC/DC, 50/60Hz. This makes them the safest choice for switchgear panel builders supplying both UAE and Saudi Arabia projects from a single panel design — no coil substitution required.

What is the breaking capacity of ABB Tmax XT MCCBs?

The ABB Tmax XT range offers breaking capacities from 25kA up to 200kA Icu at 415V AC — among the highest available in the 16–250A frame class. For GCC industrial installations close to high-capacity transformers, this high breaking capacity is critical for panel safety under fault conditions.

Can Electrical Junction supply ABB products for export to African countries?

Yes. Electrical Junction regularly exports ABB products to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, and South Africa. We provide full export documentation including certificate of origin, commercial invoice, and packing list.
