Aim: Mind-changing

‘’Any maintenace activity is a cost’’

The customer has to understand that performing a
correct and periodic maintenance is essential to:
- Reduce the total managing costs
- Use the resources according to needs
- Standard, directives and laws

Indirect/induced Costs:
• Higher risk in Health & Safety
• Reduction of products lifetime
• Management of urgency
• Poor quality
• Energy consumption
• Environmental impact
• Resource availabilities
Indirect • Inefficiency in personnel
costs • Insurance policies
• Production Losses
• Losses in market share

Estimated lifetime

Based on ABB experience, it is possible to define

average component lifetimes

BUT

a SITE SURVEY is always recommended.

It is performed by a circuit breaker specialist, who

inspects the products, on-site spares, environment,
fault history, etc...

The result of a site survey is a proposal of short and

long term maintenance actions

Maintenance with ABB - benefits

ABB technicians are skilled and properly trained:

 Before operating on the field spend at least 1
year in the production line
 Regular courses to be updated on new products
 By turns work in the internal assembly line for
repair
 Original Spare Parts
 Right tools
 Continuous communication between R&D/
Quality dep. and Service  Knowledge on CB
updates (modification for improvements)

Preventive and Scheduled Maintenance - PMP

Reduce the risk of failure and working deterioration of the low

voltage circuit-breakers installed in the plant
It is structured in a cycle of three maintenance interventions:
• 1st-2nd intervention: Ordinary Maintenance
Maintaining the original integrity of the product:
• Maintaining or restoring the efficiency of the products
• Containing the normal deterioration of use
• Guaranteeing the useful life of the product
• Facing accidental events
• 3rd intervention: Extraordinary maintenance
Extend the useful life and/or improve:
• efficiency
• reliability
• productivity
• facility of maintenance and inspection
All interventions are carried out by chief skilled technicians

PMP: Benefits
 Circuit breaker efficiency/reliability preservation
 Guaranteeing the plant & people safety
 Probability of unwanted shut-downs reduction
 Providing the best management of maintenance costs
 Direct costs: Direct maintenance : technicians, spare parts…
 Indirect costs: non-production, accident, failure, maintenace
management, …
 Customer support during all product life phases
 ABB professional competence guaranted:
 Preventive maintenance to increase: performances, reliability,
availability of circuit breakers and systems
ABB SACE Maintenance Portfolio
Summary

 Maintenance management maximizes the value of

circuit breakers and customers investments.
 All the circuit breakers have aging and wearing in
components: a proper preventive maintenance is
required
 Maintenance schedule specifies the recommended
maintenance actions for preventive maintenance
