The ABB approach

An integrated package of MCCs andprefabricated buildings

Did you know? ABB was the first company in Australia to test their switchgear for arcfault containmentaccording to local standard AS3439 and global standard IEC 61641.

ABB has extensive experience in the engineering,

installation, commissioning and servicing of packages. In

order to allow optimised interfacing we recommend that

there should be only one RFQ for MCCs, switchgear and

prefabricated buildings - ABB!

Any discussion with EPC or Emdusers or Consultants

includes the overall concept of the system, with regards to

the following items:

What expectations EPC or Emdusers or

Consultants have of ABB.

What information is available from the existing plant

Further information/data required

Power transformer (dimensioning, specification and

specify of the vector group).

MCC – motor listings, regular updates.

Drives, type, technical data, installation guidelines.

Very high heat dissipation of the drive panels (con-

cept cooling system for the E-room).

Motors.

Control and control panel manufacturing.

Handling of the harmonic distortions (large amount).

Handling of the high frequency distortions.

Compensation.

Interfaces between the different suppliers.

Interfaces between the different products.

Tests.

Earthing system.

Erection supervision.

Cabling, cable dimensioning and cable trays –

recommendations from ABB.

Commissioning.

Presentation of our services such as HW,

SW-schema, cable list, terminal list, layouts,

documentation.

Integration and support of multiple vendors’ packages can

be both time consuming and costly, but more so, very rarely

truly integrated as the vendors’ proprietary idiosyncrasies

make this extremely difficult.

ABB’s global knowledge and expertise, with local

implementation, allows us to not only offer the technical

and commercial benefits in the execution phase, but also

the long term local support for all the products and

services offered.

Did you know? ABB has had a number of world firsts in low voltage switchgear - the first three phasedistribution system in 1898, the first miniature circuit breaker with thermal and magnetic trip in 1923 andthe first modular low voltage switchgear system in 1974.

ABB senior management commitment to deliver

ABB has worked on many integrated projects in the past, for example Bass Gas, Hi-Smelt

and Telfer. The experience gained during the delivery of these projects can be passed on

to the team who are charged with the delivery of this project.

The process, the project Examples of switchrooms with MCC

Did you know? ABB pioneered the introduction of intelligent low voltage motor control centres, first usingthem in 1986 in British Steel’s Port Talbot blast furnace.

We suggest the following process in moving forward with your project.

ABB, Ausco and client work collaboratively to resolve construction detail through to

the approval phase

ABB focus on the switchgear detailing

Ausco focus on the structural detailing and the interfacing with the switchgear

FAT for switchgear in Moorebank NSW at ABB facility

Switchgear shipped to Ausco’s works for installation in building

Switchgear installed and interconnected where necessary in Ausco’s Works

Installation of control system equipment to be completed during the

switchgear installation

Vinyl applied to building floor after all the switchgear is installed to reduce

the potential for damage

ABB and Ausco pack the building for transport

Ausco ship the building to site

Ausco can prepare site civils and complete the structural install on site

Did you know? ABB has over 60,000 INSUM units installed around the world and ten years local experience with INSUM installations. Our first system was installed at the Zenith Centre in Sydney in 1994.
