family of protection and control-IEDs and the advanced bay control mimic
with two-handed operation for conventional control ensure the safe and economical
operation of the switchgear.
Our broad range of control and protection systems include IEC 61850 compliant
products that provide you with open, future-proof and flexible system architecture.
Our advanced local control cubicles enables monitoring and remote diagnostic
functions ensuring high availability and fast access to precise information from
anywhere in the system, speeding up responses and reducing outage time. Cyber
security is embedded as an integral part of the product to keep you worry-free.
Investing in our switchgear is safe and increases the life cycle of your equipment.
Depending on your project requirements, we also deliver standalone LCCs with all
customary control and protection devices.

ABBs commitment to total quality control
Highest product quality
We are committed to giving you products of the highest quality that is why we
strive to produce only products that comply with or exceed the latest international
standards (IEC/ANSI). In addition, our products have been type tested in indepen-
dent laboratories. Our certified design and manufacturing processes guarantee the
highest quality of our products.
Our ELK-14 bays are fully assembled and tested in the factory with standardized,
automated and reliable procedures. After routine testing, shipping units are packed
in accordance with the freight carriers requirements, the duration of transportation,
the dispatch route and site storage requirements. Its compact size allows functional
bays to be shipped on flat racks.
Pre-tested, wired and SF
6
pre-filled bays reduce the installation work significantly.
Bays are coupled using standard tools and gas handling is minimized. Site testing
according to IEC/ANSI standards and ABB quality assurance procedures include
leakage checks on flanges, instrument transformer tests, control and monitoring
functions, resistance measurements and a high-voltage test. Site installation can
be carried out by ABB or by personnel from your own company under the guidance
of a certified ABB supervisor. ABB offers training courses for every aspect of GIS
installation, operation and maintenance.
ABBs metal-enclosed gas-insulated switchgear requires minimal maintenance in
service. Under normal operational conditions, more than 50 years fault-free opera-
tion is assured with periodic visual checks. ABB Service provides competent 24/7
worldwide support in case of failures.

Enhancing eco-efficiency over the life cycle
Low environmental impact
For ABB, sustainability is about balancing economic success, environmental stew-
ardship and social progress to benefit all our stakeholders.
Sustainability considerations cover how we design and manufacture products, what
we offer customers, how we engage suppliers, how we assess risks and opportuni-
ties, and how we behave in the communities where we operate and towards one
another, while striving to ensure the health, safety and security of our employees,
contractors and others affected by our activities. In line with our business practices,
we publish environmental product declarations for each product we manufacture.
The life cycle of the ELK-14 product is composed of three phases: manufacture,
use and disposal. The manufacture scenario includes materials used, transport of
components and SF
6
-gas leakage rates. The usage scenario includes transport of
products to customers as well as SF
6
-gas leakage rates and energy losses as-
suming a 50-year life time. The disposal phase refers to SF
6
-gas handling and the
energy for making recycled metals reusable.
Continuous improvement in product design resulted in a more compact footprint
that uses less aluminum and other metals
Low thermal losses due to innovative designs and material choices
Full bay shipment due to compact design reduces the environmental impact of
transportation dramatically
ABBs factory is ISO 14001 certified for environmental best practices and we also
conduct regular environmental audits at our suppliers facilities
Online monitoring for preventive maintenance
The low operating energies used by ABBs modern interrupters combined with the
efficient mechanical spring drives result in lower auxiliary power supply consump-
tion
Type tested for 0.1 percent SF
6
-gas leakage rate per year
Minimized SF

-gas leakage rates due to well proven sealing system
Use of material which is easy to recycle or dispose
Improved maintenance processes that avoid the release of gases and oil
Improved recycling and disposal through clear declarations adjusted to different
global standards
