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

Count on certified installation and commissioning by ABB experts for high reliability and optimum life-cycle performance from first operation. From installation and commissioning, we take care of our customers’ installed base to maximize their electrical supply for improved productivity and profitability.

By engaging ABB, you can be assured your switchgear is installed and put into operation in a safe and correct way. ABB certified service engineers provide expert on-site installation, pre-commissioning tests to ensure a correct installation has been performed and commissioning tests on protection relays and/or communications for switchgears, modular substation packages, eHouses, distribution automation products, switching, limiting, measuring, and sensing devices and energy storage modules (UPS).
