Free Whitepaper
As manufacturing operations
implement lean processes to drive down costs by focusing on the value delivered
to the end customer, many questions remain.
·How does Lean Manufacturing
impact the building of electrical panels?
·How can I reduce the costs
in my panels by leveraging lean techniques?
·What do I need to do first?
This paper will discuss how
you can leverage Lean Operations, A Lean Supply Chain,
and Lean Design of your electrical panels to meet our key goals. Written
by John E. Boyer, a nationally known Lean expert with over
20 years of operational experience, this paper will
walk you through, step by step the areas you need
to focus on first to lower your costs and improve your bottom line.
To receive your complementary copy of the white paper, “10 Steps to Lean
Electrical Controls”, from ABB, simply click

Having
Unexplained Motor, Pump or Compressor Failures?
Interactive animations show possible solution. Fast, easy to view.
Animations show why motor windings overheat and prematurely
fail when adverse three phase voltages are present. Motor health can be compromised
when the voltage at the terminal lugs is outside the specification window. See
what happens to the winding’s temperature when subjected to: Phase Loss,
Under Voltage and Unbalanced Voltages. Animations include meters that display reference
voltages during fault events. Click APPLY to start the animation.

let electrical surges, scorch your business!
Is your equipment well protected? |
|
|
 Surges voltages
can be caused by common events like storms and bank switching on
the distribution line. These events cause over 2 billion dollars
in damage plus losses in operational revenues (downtime) every year
in the USA; Surge voltages damage sensitve electrical equipment,
telephone and computer networks and buildings. Why take a chance
on expensive equipment repair or replacement. Let us show the simple
solution to world class protection. Request a further demonstration
today.
Using TVSS? Does
your TVSS tell you when it has stopped working? Does your sensitive
equipment still have adequate protection after the last storm? ABB's
TVSS product announces its status with 2 alarm indications: visual
indication on the unit and remote alarm contacts. It also offers
a dual protection. Then, pluggable replacement modules allow safe
replacement (without wiring) and return to full protection within
seconds. Because of ABB's dual protection system, back up protection
is available until you replace the failed module"?
Key Features:
- Reliable,
Positive and Cost Effective, Surge Voltage Equipment Protection
- Built
in redundant, Safety Reserve protection
- 3-step visual
indication, remote alarm contacts
- Integrated Thermal
disconnector to avoid all risks of fire
- Very low clamping
voltage as low as 600V
- High discharge
capability up to 100KA per phase (400KA in total
- High energy withstand:
up to 1600 Joules per pole (6400 Joules in total)
- Plug in modules
for easy replacement
- UL 1449 recognized,
CSA, CE

Reversing Busbar Kits |

 NEW
ABB Busbar – Save time, money, eliminate wiring errors.
ABB
has redesigned the reversing and wye-delta busbar kits for contactor
types A/AL9 through A/AL40. This new design not only improves the
look of the product it saves time during assembly, and reduces the
risk of mounting and wiring errors. The new BER (reversing) and BEY
(wye-delta) busbars are molded plastic with integrated copper busbar.
These new kits eliminate the need for a support DIN rail or a mounting
plate, and can be used in conjunction with ABB Overloads and Manual
Motor Protectors. ABB will use the new BER and BEY bus kits on all
factory assembled reversing and mechanically interlocked contactors
and starters from A/AL9 through A/AL30, and the BEY wye-delta kits
on all wye-delta starters from A/AL9 through A/AL40.
