Operational Safety & Availability

The MNS low voltage switchgear system has been subjected to extensive type tests in compliance with the standards. In order to ensure the highest possible degree of safety, ABB continues to conduct tests as per a continuous development program.

These tests are based on the most critical representative applications of the entire product or performance range of the switchgear with respect to the test standard.

The results of these tests are applicable to the various low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies in accordance with IEC 61439-1 & 2; DIN EN 60439-1/VDE 0660 Part 500.

In addition to the above specifications ABB adopted as a standard IEC 61641 for Testing under conditions of arcing due to an internal fault. There are five criteria observed for the test, in line with its ‘Safety Plus’ statement ABB ensures that all five are met. In addition to these five criteria ABB also meets the addition plant protection criteria as detailed in VDE 0660 part 500.

Operating Procedures

The company’s operating systems and procedures are fully certified to ISO 9001 requirements, the stringent environmental standards of ISO 14001 and to OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety requirements.

After Sales, Service & Maintenance

Routine servicing and maintenance of LV installations by the company’s highly qualified engineers will ensure that equipment remains safe to operate – and will minimise the risk of unexpected breakdown and interruption of supply. Cost-effective packages, which are carefully tailored to clients’ individual needs, can cover an extensive range of requirements.
