Frequently asked questions by customer

What is included in the PM kit?The PM kit includes several smaller kits called sub-kits. Each sub-kit

is designated for specific parts of the pole or operating mechanism onthe breaker.Each sub-kit contains recommended parts to exchange during a preventive maintenance.

Does the kit come with maintenance instructions?Every sub-kit has its own maintenance instruction included in the

box.How does the kit get restocked again after use?

Option 1. It is possible to find the part number of each sub-kit inside The PM kit. The customer can use the order template included in the PM kit (preprinted article numbers) and send it to ABB.Option 2. Each PM-kit box has its own serial number, and the customer can contract ABB to maintain and restock the box regularly. It is required that the customer signs an agreement for that service.

Is it possible to buy individual parts of the sub-kits?Yes provided that a reference to the kit box serial number is provided with the request for quote, however it is important to understand that the sub-kits are designed to meet specific requirements for maintenance quality and the entire sub- kit should be used during a preventive maintenance.
