ABB 1TGE106170M4200
Product Introduction
The ABB 1TGE106170M4200 is a high-quality rotary handle mechanism designed for ABB’s Tmax XT series of molded case circuit breakers. This essential accessory enables remote manual operation of circuit breakers installed in switchboards or enclosures, providing a safe and convenient way to control power distribution without direct access to the breaker itself.
Engineered for reliability and durability, the 1TGE106170M4200 features a robust thermoplastic construction that withstands the rigors of industrial environments. Its ergonomic design allows for smooth operation, while the clear ON/OFF indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of breaker status. This accessory is particularly valuable in applications where breakers are mounted behind panels or in hard-to-reach locations.
Core Advantages and Technical Highlights
Safe remote operation:
The ABB 1TGE106170M4200 enables operators to safely control circuit breakers from outside electrical enclosures, reducing exposure to live components. The mechanism provides positive operation feedback through distinct tactile positions for ON and OFF states.
Durable construction:
Manufactured from UL94 V0 flame-retardant thermoplastic, the handle mechanism resists mechanical stress and environmental factors. Its 10,000-operation mechanical life ensures long-term reliability in demanding applications.
Easy installation:
The front-mounting design simplifies installation on enclosure doors or panels. The mechanism features universal compatibility across Tmax XT breaker sizes (XT1-XT4), reducing inventory requirements.
Clear status indication:
Bright color-coded indicators (green for ON, red for OFF) provide unambiguous breaker status visibility, even in low-light conditions. The positive position detents prevent ambiguous intermediate states.
Versatile applications:
Suitable for use in industrial control panels, power distribution cabinets, and machine electrical compartments. The mechanism maintains the breaker’s original IP protection rating when properly installed.
Typical Application Scenarios
Industrial control panels:
The ABB 1TGE106170M4200 is widely used in factory automation systems where multiple circuit breakers need centralized, safe operation from a control panel door.
Power distribution cabinets:
In electrical rooms and substations, the handle mechanism allows maintenance personnel to safely control breakers without opening energized enclosures.
Machine tools:
The accessory provides convenient local control for machine-mounted circuit breakers while maintaining operator safety and enclosure integrity.
HVAC systems:
For large commercial HVAC installations, the mechanism enables easy operation of compressor and fan circuit breakers from central control points.
Water treatment plants:
The 1TGE106170M4200 is used in control panels managing pump and motor circuits, allowing safe operation in wet or corrosive environments.

Installation and Commissioning
Installation preparation:
Verify compatibility with the specific Tmax XT breaker model. Ensure the mounting panel has proper cutout dimensions (68.5×68.5 mm) and adequate clearance behind the panel for mechanism operation.
Commissioning steps:
Mount the mechanism on the panel door
Connect to the breaker using the provided coupling
Verify smooth operation through full travel
Check alignment of position indicators
Test locking functionality (if applicable)
Maintenance recommendations:
Regularly inspect for smooth operation and proper alignment. Clean the mechanism during routine panel maintenance. Check for wear after extensive use (10,000 operations). Verify position indicators remain clearly visible.
