The routing of cables in complex industrial installations like power plants requires a great deal of work and experience on the part of the planner. It involves arranging the cables to give the shortest path between their starting point and destination, while at the same time ensuring that certain combinations do not adversely influence each other. Also, planning of narrow cable trays system leads to higher installation costs and dangerous working conditions. The long term consequences will be higher service time and costs.
Thousands of kilometers of cables and trays are required for a typical power plant, incineration plant and other industrial application. ABB helps to build and maintain reliable power system installations safely and efficiently by systematic approach for HV, MV and LV power and control cables and cable trays as well.
