Safety and Reliability for Contractors

Electrical distribution systems are mostly taken for granted by end users. They expect total safety and reliability from electrical components. So, how do you meet these expectations without wholesale rip-and-replace? Electricity follows path of least resistance, so look for the easiest path to enhance reliability and safety while preserving investments in existing systems.

Following the 2018 acquisition of GE Industrial Systems, ABB launched its Best of Both initiative that combines ABB technology with GE devices. No need for costly retrofits—you can incorporate the best component technology with a widely used form factor for enhanced safety and reliability in the existing power system.

The best technology of ABB and GE Industrial Solutions brings you a true breakthrough in plug-in power panels, engineered to dramatically save time, labor and cost while helping to ensure rock-solid reliability.

Additionally, the Tmax XT and Emax 2 circuit breakers with optional ABB Ability integration can deliver advanced technologies including remote monitoring, preventive maintenance, and energy management via the cloud—value added for asset owners.

Accessory or necessity?

Understanding the catastrophic impact of a power surge can make you realize that surge devices are not an accessory but a necessity. Learn why others have added surge protective devices to their installations

Why the Increase Need for Surge Protection?

Why the Increase Need for Surge Protection?

ABB expert speaks at NECA 2021

Surge protection devices (SPDs) were, in the past, often tacked on in applications where some additional protection might be appropriate. Today’s expanding use of SPDs is largely due to the changing nature of the equipment and systems they protect. Digital technology is also increasingly susceptible to surge-related damage. Should you be making additional use of these devices in your designs?
