Skid: Open frame mounted and compact primary solution


skid-packaging

Skid modules, available for ratings up to 40.5 kV, are an open frame mounted, compact primary solution that is customed engineered for a specific site. ABB’s skid modules for primary applications are designed to house medium and low voltage equipment installed and interconnected in the factory enabling an efficient construction schedule (pre-installed and pre-tested system).

ABB’s Skid modules are ideal for primary distribution in applications such as mining & metals, process industrial sites, data centers and infrastructure.  Primary skids are typically used for applications with the short circuit rating greater than 20 kA and the maximum current above 630 A.

FAQ

1. What is a Skid module?

Skid modules, available for ratings up to 40.5 kV, are an open frame mounted, compact primary solution that is customed engineered for a specific site. ABB’s skid modules for primary applications are designed to house medium and low voltage equipment installed and interconnected in the factory enabling an efficient construction schedule (pre-installed and pre-tested system). 

 

2. How does a Skid module work?

ABB’s skid modules for primary applications are designed to house medium and low voltage equipment installed and interconnected in the factory enabling an efficient construction schedule (pre-installed and pre-tested system). 

3. What are the key benefits of ABB’s Skid modules? 

ABB skid modules arrive at the customer’s site with integrated medium and low voltage equipment that has been pre-tested. This greatly reduces the installation, test and start-up time required to get the equipment on-line, reducing the overall project timeline. Also, the skid modules typically reduce the amount of labor hours on site because of the integrated equipment.

4. Are ABB’s skid modules easy to operate and maintain? 

Yes. ABB’s skid modules are designed for easy access to operate and maintain the equipment in the open frame module.  The ABB switchgear and other control equipment is robust and designed for efficient maintenance and long life.

5. What’s the difference between ABB’s integrated modular solutions: eHouse and Skid modules?

Both ABB’s eHouses and Skid modules integrate medium voltage and low voltage equipment for primary applications. eHouses are transportable, tested and enclosed electrical rooms that provide environmental control with HVAC as well as fire alarm and security systems. Skid modules are open frame modules with integrated medium and low voltage equipment- but, they are not enclosed and do not offer any environmental control, fire or alarm system capability.
