Focus factory The ABB Focus Factory based in Lodi, Italy, is one of the facilities belonging to the ABB Group. It produces High Voltage electrical equipment on a covered area of more than 12,000 square metres. It is a Global Focus Factory, and a centre of excellence for design and production of high voltage hybrid circuit-breakers and switchgear. A market leader, it exports approximately 80% of its products worldwide. The factory is organized according to "Lean Production" criteria and is managed by means of an integrated ERP system. The Quality System conforms to ISO 9001 standards, the...

Laboratories ABB plant has internai laboratorles equipped with state-of-the-art equipment in order to carry out material, experimental, climatic, mechanical life, electromagnetic compatibility, commissioning and dielectric tests. Type and routine tests ascertain whether the components, construction stages and finished products comply with the strict specification requirements. The Test Laboratory is accredited by an external independent organization and complies with UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 Standards. the phase in which the products pass through the plant and enabling ABB to achieve a much...

Introduction I he Hybrid Switchgears The arrivai of the newly created PASS M0S switchgear for voltages up to 252 kV has enlarged the PASS family: ABB's hybrid "Single-Phase, Encapsulated Plug And Switch System" solution. Starting with voltages of up to 100 kV with PASS M00, through PASS M0, which can be used for voltages up to 170 kV and then to the above-mentioned PASS M0S used for voltage values up to 252 kV, almost all the transmission and distribution voltage levels can be served by PASS modules. The term "Hybrid" refers to the combination of both conventional air insulated switchgear...

Advantages PASS combines all the typical functions of a complte AIS bay for electrical substations with voltage ratings of up to 252 kV in a unit with a volume is comparable to that of a conventional circuit-breaker of equal class. It takes advantage and widens the scope of the operating phi-losophy of the PASS series whose dominating factors - those that have dictated the product's success with more than 6500 systems sold throughout the world - are briefly outlined below: 1. Relatively inexpensive AIS bus bar: - yet traditionally highly reliable. 2. All live contacts in SF6: - experience...

Components Gas density control Since the dielectric strength of the switchgear and the breaking capacity of the SF6 circuit-breaker depend on the density of the SF6 gas, a gas density relay is installed to control gas density and detect leakage. Voltage transformer PASS can be equipped with conventional GIS inductive voltage transformers. Similarly to Current Transformers, several combinations of windings for protection and measurements with different loads are available. Over-pressure relief A rupture diaphragm (rupture disk) is installed for protection against excessive over-pressure due...

Circuit-breaker The PASS circuit-breaker is a single-pressure interrupter that operates by means of the well-known self-blast principle. The energy for breaking currents is partly supplied by the arc itself, thereby reducing the energy the operating mechanism has to provide by about 50% compared with a conventional puffer type circuit-breaker. Current transformer PASS is equipped with conventional current transformers to meet customers' requirements. Several combinations of cores for protection and measurements with different loads are available. Up to 5 cores can be fitted into the current...

PASS MO PASS MO is the best seller of the family: PASS MO was the first PASS designed (1999) and, thanks to its features (compact design, modularity and reliability), it was immediately accepted by the electrical market. Since then, more and more customers have decided to include PASS M0 in their Distribution Substation designs: the result is a reference list of more than 6500 equivalent bays energized around the world and in very different climatic conditions. PASS M0 has, in fact, been installed both in the desert (Saudi Arabia) and in the Arctic (Russia), indoors and outdoors, on the...

PASS M00 ABB designed PASS M00 in 2003 in order to meet the spcifie requirements of the fast-expanding market for 66 kV and 100 kV systems. In 2011 a completely new version was introduced, increasing the short-time breaking current up to 40 kV, and the maximum continuous current up to 3150 A. PASS M00 is smaller in size and weight than PASS M0 and boasts many innovative International Patents; the most important of these is the "Rotating breaking chamber" now also applied on PASS M0. In the rotating breaking chamber the disconnector and earthing switch moving contacts are installed directly...

PASS M0S is the latest arrivai in the family and has been designed with ail the PASS features in order to meet the market requirements up to 252 kV. PASS M0S is fully designed, assembled and tested in the workshop, according to the PASS philosophy. In addition, PASS M0S can be transported completely assembled to the site. This means that no HV test need to be conducted on site after erection and commissioning, thus saving a time and money compared to all the other 245/252 kV switchgears (GIS, AIS or hybrid). As usual, PASS M0S is extremely flexible and is available in the following...
