Installation & Commissioning

Ensure lower risk, faster start-up and optimum performance for your electrification system, from first operation through the entire life cycle of the equipment.

 

Certified installation and commissioning by ABB experts for high reliability and optimal life-cycle performance. Maximize electrical system performance from the first operation for improved productivity and profitability. ABB ensures safe and correct installation of your switchgear and electrical equipment.

 

Services include:

  • On-site installation by certified service engineers.
  • Pre-commissioning tests to verify correct installation.
  • Commissioning tests on protection relays, communications, switchgears, modular substation packages, eHouses, distribution automation products, and energy storage modules (UPS).

Did you know?

Incorrect installation & commissioning can contribute to 14%

of failures for switchgears and circuit breakers.

Incorrect installation & commissioning prior to start-up is the most probable initiating or contributing cause of 4%

of failures for disconnect switches.
