ABB Record Plus Molded Case Breaker Circuit Protection
Whether you’re an end user overseeing a facility or a contractor in the field, not all molded case circuit breakers are the same. If you’re in charge of keeping electrical systems secure, dependable, and simple to repair. ABB Record Plus molded case circuit breakers are flexible.
What sets ABB Record Plus apart is flexibility. You’re not locked into a single frame size, trip unit, or mounting method. Instead, you get a coordinated family of breakers that adapts to your application — without forcing you to redesign your panel or switchboard. This makes dealing with common circuit breaker problems easier.
Selective Current Limiting Protection
At its core, the ABB Record Plus MCCB family is built around selective, current-limiting protection. This means when an electrical fault occurs, the breaker limits peak fault current and trips precisely where it should — protecting upstream equipment to minimize damage.
- Safer installations
- Reduced arc-energy stress
- Easier coordination with downstream devices
Record Plus breakers are designed to protect, isolate, and switch low-voltage circuits across a range of applications, from lighting panels to motor feeders and generator protection.
ABB Record Plus MCCB Specifications and Frame Sizes
One of the biggest advantages of Record Plus is how well the product line scales. You can start small and grow without changing platforms.
Record Plus Frame Size Overview
| Frame Size | Current Range | Typical Applications |
| FD160 | Up to 160A | Panelboards, DIN-rail applications, small feeders |
| FE160 / FE250 | Up to 250A | Commercial panels, side-by-side installations |
| FG400 / FG630 | Up to 630A | Industrial feeders, motor control |
| FK800 / FK1250 / FK1600 | Up to 1600A | Main distribution, generators, critical loads |
Across these frames, ABB Record Plus MCCB specifications include interrupting ratings reaching 200 kA, support for AC and DC systems, and compliance with IEC 60947-2, with UL-489 variations available in North America.
ABB MCCB Electronic Trip Units and Protection Options
Protection is where Record Plus really helps. You’re not limited to one trip technology. You choose what fits your job.
Trip Unit Options at a Glance
| Trip Unit Type | Best Use Case | Key Benefits |
| Thermal-Magnetic | General distribution | Proven overload & short-circuit protection |
| Magnetic-Only (Mag Break) | Motor circuits | Short-circuit protection with external overload |
| SMR1 Electronic | Selective coordination | Adjustable settings, temperature sensing |
| SMR2 Electronic | Advanced systems | Ground fault, zone selective interlocking, Modbus |
With ABB MCCB electronic trip units, you gain adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and optional ground-fault protection. That flexibility makes coordination easier and helps you meet modern code and safety requirements, especially in larger or mission-critical facilities.
Record Plus Circuit Breaker Accessories and Operators
When you’re installing or maintaining breakers, breaker mounting hardware and accessories matter just as much as ratings. Record Plus uses common internal accessories across multiple frame sizes, which simplifies inventory and retrofits.
Available accessories include:
- Auxiliary and bell alarm contacts
- Shunt trip and undervoltage releases
- Rotary handles and door-mounted operators
- Electrically operated mechanisms for remote control
The internal accessory compartment is designed for safe, tool-friendly installation, and breakers automatically trip when covers are removed, protecting you during maintenance.
Record Plus Circuit Breaker Applications in the Field
You’ll see Record Plus circuit breaker applications everywhere power quality and uptime matter.
Common Applications
- Commercial distribution panels
- Industrial motor feeders
- Generator protection
- Data centers and critical infrastructure
- Plug-in and draw-out switchgear sections
Mounting flexibility is a major advantage. You can install Record Plus breakers as fixed, plug-in, or draw-out units, making them ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Wiring, Connectivity, and Installation Flexibility
Record Plus breakers use standardized terminal markings following IEC standards. This makes wiring faster and reduces errors. You can connect from the front or rear, use busbars or cable lugs, and add terminal shields for higher IP ratings.
For contractors, this means:
- Faster installs
- Cleaner panels
- Easier troubleshooting
For end users, it means long-term serviceability without tearing apart the system.
Why Contractors and End Users Choose ABB Record Plus
When you specify ABB Record Plus molded case circuit breakers, you’re choosing a platform that grows with your project. From small panelboards to large industrial feeders, the same family of breakers gives consistent performance, predictable coordination, and proven reliability.
You’re not just installing a breaker, you’re building a distribution system that’s safer, easier to maintain, and ready for future expansion.
What You Should Know
ABB Record Plus molded case circuit breakers can handle amperages ranging from about 3 amps to 1,600 amps, depending on frame size and arrangement. Smaller FD and FE frames are typically used for panelboards and branch circuits, whereas bigger FG and FK frames are intended for feeders, mains, generators, and high-capacity industrial applications. This broad range allows you to use the same breaker family across numerous system sizes.
Yes. ABB Record Plus is compatible with modern electronic trip units, including the SMR1 and SMR2 variants. These electronic trip units have adjustable long-term, short-term, immediate, and ground-fault protection. If you require improved coordination, system monitoring, or future flexibility, electronic trip units provide significantly more control than standard thermal-magnetic protection.
Record Plus breakers can safeguard motors using either magnetic-only trip units (Mag Break) or electronic trip units with overload protection. This makes them ideal for motor feeders, pumps, compressors, and other inductive loads requiring short-circuit safety and coordination with motor starters.
Record Plus MCCBs are designed to comply with IEC 60947 standards, including IEC 60947-2 for circuit breakers, as well as related low-voltage control and switching standards. UL-listed versions (UL 489) are also available for North American applications. This makes Record Plus appropriate for both domestic and international projects in which code compliance is required.
Yes. ABB Record Plus breakers are available in fixed, plug-in, and draw-out versions, depending on frame size. Plug-in and draw-out configurations allow faster replacement, safer maintenance, and reduced downtime — especially in critical facilities like data centers, industrial plants, and hospitals. Draw-out versions also support test and isolated positions for added operational safety.
Summary
The Breaker
Record Plus MCCBs are designed to protect, isolate, and switch low-voltage circuits across commercial and industrial systems. You get a broad amperage range (3A–1600A), multiple frame sizes (FD, FE, FG, FK), and selective, current-limiting performance that helps reduce fault energy and downstream damage.
