The declaration covers the SACE Infinitus I25L product family manufactured in ABB's facility in Frosinone, Italy. The study is carried out in accordance with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards. The product is certified according to IEC 60947-2 and is available to order today at 2,500A. It leverages on a unique low on-state loss power electronics which makes it best of its class at these ratings and enables ultimate DC protection while saving energy.
A shift from AC to DC distribution is driving efficiency at scale for data centers, marine electrification, and smart microgrids. To accelerate the roll out of these systems, certified, field-proven circuit protection becomes essential infrastructure. ABB’s Infinitus solid-state circuit breaker is a key technology for the transition.
"ABB leads the DC transition through early investment in breakthrough technologies paired with the certification, verification, and transparency that customers need. Infinitus is backed by an independent EPD and shows our commitment to production-ready solutions with verified environmental data" said Linda Wennberg, Head of Sustainable Energy, ABB Electrification.
ABB has deployed the technology across marine electrification, smart transportation, and industrial applications. Integration into DC protection schemes requires thorough system design, the technology has different cost and footprint characteristics than conventional circuit breakers, making deployment guidance essential.
The Life Cycle Assessment behind the EPD covers the full product lifecycle and provides customers with a verified baseline for sustainability decisions.
In addition to the IEC 60947-2 certificate, Infinitus is also fully certified according to GB14048-2, DNV and CCS.
