ABB Excitation Care offers different levels of service

Spare parts health and functional check (on-site)

The spare parts critical to commercial operation (noble parts;

ex.: boards, power supply), will be installed directly on the

existing excitation system and the functionality of all parts will

be confirmed. This will require the excitation system and the

machine to be available for testing.

Spare parts health and functional check (at the factory)

Upon request, the health and functional check may be performed in

our factory. The spare parts must be carefully packed and shipped

to ABB. Once they arrive, they will be inspected and tested at our

supplier factory in order verify their correct functionality. We

recommend that spare part boards (PCB) containing electrolytic

capacitors should be tested every four years.

Parts Fingerprint

The Parts Fingerprint provides you with a complimentary

recommended spare parts list or, if a detailed list of the spare

parts is provided, a list of the recommended parts that are

missing can be prepared. This can be done, for example, as part

of a performance review. We will also keep you informed about

critical aging processes of vital components.

Product and part life cycle report (annual)

The Product Life Cycle annual report is a summary of the

excitation system parts availability and life cycle status. It will

also detail which new material can replace the obsolete ones and

if a mechanical adaptation is needed.

Control upgrade solution (preferential price)

ABB has designed a front-end control upgrade solution using the

latest excitation technology, the UNITROL 6000. for excitation

systems in the Limited or Obsolete phase. It is an efficient

solution that extends the life of the system and brings it to the

Active phase of the Product Life Cycle.

Performance review (preferential price)

The ABB performance review program is designed to ensure

the proper and safe operation of all your UNITROL excitation

products. We accomplish this by running tests on all critical

protection devices and system settings in various operating

conditions. We then prepare a report based on the findings, and

make recommendations on how to keep unplanned downtime at

a minimum.
