Pro-active services for optimum performance
and extended lifetime
Synchronous motors always play a critical role in the plants
where they operate, making availability and reliability the top
priorities.
We offer a complete portfolio of services to maximize
the availability, reliability and performance of ABB synchronous
motors. Our worldwide organization and network of selected
partners ensure that we can respond quickly and support
customers wherever they are located.
Our service offering covers the whole product life cycle,
from consulting, installation and commissioning, through
diagnosis, maintenance, spare parts and repairs, to migration
and upgrades. Training for customer personnel is also
available.
ABB’s Life Cycle Management Plan for motors and
generators prevents equipment failure due to component
aging. The recommended maintenance program for ABB
synchronous motors consists of four levels (L1 – L4) spaced
at intervals over the product’s lifetime. The age of the motor
and ambient conditions in which it operates determine when
each maintenance process should be undertaken. The service
program can be adapted as necessary to meet specific
requirements.
We also offer specialized tools such as ABB LEAP (ABB Life
Expectancy Analysis Program), which is a diagnostic tool
for assessing the condition of the stator winding insulation.
Testing can be performed during the normal L1 – L4
maintenance procedures, and the results provide a basis on
which specific preventive service actions can be planned.
Preventive service measures reduce unplanned – and there-
fore expensive – shutdowns caused by failures that could
have been foreseen.
Our synchronous motors are designed to provide easy
access for service and maintenance, and the services we
offer will ensure the motors deliver trouble-free operation
over an extended lifetime.
