Safety, product quality and reliability under pressure are fundamental to all our products and the Tmax XT series builds on that. Customers will immediately recognize ABB’s absolute attention to detail in everything from design to manufacturing and performance.” ~Niko Railo, Global Product Group Manager for ABB’s Breakers and Enclosures Business


ABB Philippines introduces its newest molded case circuit breaker range in the local market. The SACE TMAX XT provides extreme breaking capacity for all voltages and applications, offering high safety and protection standards. ABB's latest TMAX XT series optimizes plant and energy management. It supports energy conservation measures and can reduce energy consumption by up to 20% and cut installation time by 30%.
