ABB’s motors and generators often play a critical role in the plants in which they operate. In many cases the complete process would be brought to a halt if the motor or generator stopped working.
Downtime may result in considerable costs in terms of lost production, waste and damage. Therefore the availability of this equipment is a top priority.
ABB supplies spare parts in four separate categories, as follows:
Capital spare parts
Keeping essential capital spares on site is a good investment that provides a number of benefits:
- Minimized downtime in case of failure
- Minimized production loss in case of failure
- Use of a single component as a capital spare for several motors and generators
- Excellent overall risk management strategy
A range of capital spares is available for ABB’s motors and generators. Examples include:
- Complete spare motor / generator
- Complete rotor
- Complete stator
- Exciter rotor and stator
Operational spare parts
Certain parts are needed on site to ensure optimum day-to-day operation. These parts should be available already at the commissioning stage.
Preventive maintenance kits
Scheduled maintenance is the basis for minimizing the risk of failure. Preventive maintenance kits are used during preventive maintenance procedures to replace parts that are approaching the end of their expected lifetime.
Recommended spare parts
It is recommended that these parts are kept on site to minimize downtime in the case of a failure. Recommended spare parts together with capital spare parts can significantly reduce the business risk associated with equipment failure.
How can I purchase spare parts?
Please contact your local ABB Service unit for a quotation. Contact information can be found to the right of this page.
ABB’s Parts OnLine (POL) system can also be used to identify which parts are needed. The POL system provides prices for some parts.
