ABB has expanded its NeoGear switchgear portfolio to deliver impressive safety improvements, optimized performance and digital connectivity including real-time condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Building on the success of its proven NeoGear technology, ABB has further developed NeoGear, the safest low-voltage switchgear on the market for operators and maintenance engineers. Its revolutionary design eliminates hazardous exposure to live parts, uses 92 percent fewer busbar components than traditional switchgear and with 90 percent fewer electrical joints improves switchgear availability.

The arc ignition protected zone keeps maintenance personnel safer when performing routine works and repairs, while also reducing the risk of arcs caused by mechanical failures, one of the most serious safety risks that switchgear operators encounter.

Now available globally, NeoGear switchgear offers a reduced physical footprint by up to 25 percent compared to equivalent switchgear technologies. Within this compact footprint, it also achieves energy efficiency of up to 20 percent due to reduced heat dissipation.

The recently introduced 4-pole version as well as the upcoming 690 V version make NeoGear a very attractive solution for numerous market segments and industries, including utilities, food & beverage and infrastructure. NeoGear is also ideal for data centers, infrastructure and light industries where the highest safety standards and reliability are essential and where the reduced physical footprint and weight reduction of the switchgear are key benefits.

As well as improved safety, class-leading sustainability credentials and unrivalled performance, the enhanced solution builds on ABB’s proven NeoGear platform with the latest connectivity capabilities for data analytics and data communication, making it the ideal low-voltage switchgear option for facilities working towards achieving Industry 4.0 standards. The new digital capabilities deliver up to overall 30 percent lower operational costs thanks to more efficient condition monitoring – making it a revolutionary step forward for sustainable switchgear.
