ABB low voltage products are aimed principally at the industrial, domestic and commercial markets
ABB manufactures and supplies a range of low voltage products through wholesalers, board builders, OEMs and direct to end users for commercial and industrial applications. ABB has an extensive range to cover customers’ power distribution and motor control needs, and also a range of more intelligent devices such as PLCs, wireless interfaces for sensors and actuators, logic relays, Arc Guard protection relays, UMC motor protection relays and i-bus building automation solutions.
ABB’s experience and expertise in low voltage power distribution solutions extends from the essential safety of a domestic switchboard to the often-complicated discrimination study-based designs required for large industrial and commercial sites.
Easy-to-use software packages make analytical design simple, enabling complex scenarios to be calculated and displayed on a computer. Using the power of the software, it is possible to develop an economic model of product selection far beyond what is generally seen in conventional selection processes.
The ABB low voltage products business provides power distribution and motor control applications for rigorous industrial environments, state of the art automation requirements for process industries, advanced power distribution solutions in commercial sites where economy, performance and safety are highly regarded, and also domestic power distribution where true value for money is needed.
Innovation
New developments in power distribution are allowing ABB to challenge its traditional approach to a network solution in low voltage protection. The Early Fault Detection and Prevention (EFDP) concept is an advanced algorithm able to detect a developing fault in as little as 300 micro seconds. By using a data communication system with the EFDP, advanced zone interlocking provides discrimination to high levels. This system can also incorporate MCCBs and ACBs into a total zone interlocking solution, spanning a current spectrum from 100 – 6300A.
Did you know?
The ABB i-bus control system has been implemented successfully in many Australian domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. Complying with the open KNX standard, these buildings now offer a flexible multi-vendor communication network, ensuring integration of various building functions such as lighting/blinds/energy management and many others.
