•Digital switchgear enables smart electrical networksthat
deliver power reliably and efficiently.
•A combination of the latest digital technologies and ABB’s
switchgear which bring increased flexibility, reliability and
safety, while reducing weight, footprint and delivery time.
•Seamless integration of innovative protection, control and
sensing devices, where all measures, statuses and
commands transferred via a real-time Ethernet bus using
IEC 61850 protocol.
•Enables pro-active management of equipment throughout
the entire life cycle. Enables easy integration for smart
functionality, including power management, real-time
diagnostics and remote monitoring.

Increased safety
Benefits of digital switchgear
15 March 2018 Slide 5
Sensor technology for current and voltage measurement ensures
a safer working environment for personnel
–When testing current and voltage signal secondary circuits,
personnel are not exposed to high-voltage
–Sensors are easier to work with compared to conventional
metering transformers, minimizing risk of human errors
–Less material exposed to high-voltage electrical stress,
decreasing risk of failure
Safer switchgear operation

Energy-efficient and climate-friendly
Benefits of digital switchgear
15 March 2018 Slide 6
Reduced environmental impact
Energy loss is minimized with the use of sensors
Reduced resource consumption in manufacturing
During 30 years of operation, 14 panels of digital switchgear
–Lowers energy consumption up to 250 MWh
–1 MW is equivalent to the power produced by 10 car engines, so
the energy saved can power 8,900 Formula-E race cars from
start to finish in one race
–Saves up to 150 tons of CO
2
•the same amount as the emissions from a mid-size car driven
for 1 250 000 km
•It takes 8200 trees one whole year to absorb that amount of
CO

Increased flexibility
Benefits of digitalswitchgear
15 March 2018 Slide 7
You can adapt the switchgear as the requirements in your
network change, e.g. feeder current
–Digital switchgear can be adapted even at the final stage of the
manufacturing process
–Changes can be applied via updating parameters or logics in a
protection relay, no need to replace components
–IEC 61850 is future-proof standard, which ensures efficient
future updates
Adapt easily when requirements change

Reduced footprint
Benefits of digital switchgear
15 March 2018 Slide 8
Up to 10% reduced MV switchgear footprint (30% in ANSI)
–Generally the busbarmetering cubicle(s)can be omitted,
because voltage sensors are more
–New generation of sensors are a perfect fit in switchgear,
requiring less space and they weigh less

30% faster delivery
Up to
30%
faster
delivery
Shorter time from ordering to operation
–Digital switchgear can be delivered faster thanks to
•One size fits all with sensor technology vs engineering
CT/VTs
•Wide range means the same sensor can work for many
different needs
•Sensors available in stock
•Configuration in hardware wiring is minimized, changes can
be made using the software

Faster installation and commissioning
Benefits of digital switchgear
15 March 2018 Slide 10
–Fewer panels
–Less cabling
–Fewer components in the control compartment
•Switchgear is delivered pre-tested, which minimizes
commissioning time
•A 30 panel switchgear line-up, installation time can be
reducedup to two working days
–If modifications are required in commissioning, they can be
done quickly in the protection relays, generally not requiring
hardware changes
Reduced time spent on installation and commissioning

Increased switchgear reliability
Benefits of digital medium-voltage switchgear
15 March 2018 Slide 11
Digital switchgear is based on ABB’s well-known and established
switchgear hardware platforms, but uses sensors
–With sensors less human interaction is required, which leads to
decreased risk of malfunction
–Sensors are smaller, reduce risk of isolation degradation in the
switchgear
–Sensors are immune against grid disturbances, such as ferro-
resonance phenomena
Digital communication
-Permanent active supervision of wiring and signal transfer with
IEC 61850 digital communication to enable fast and precise
actions in case of failures
Increased reliability

Benefits of IEC 61850 communication
Digital
IEC 61850
communication
Fast and reliable communication with IEC 61850, the global
standard for communication in substations
–In conventional switchgear, acomplex scheme requires large
amounts of wires to be connected between the cubicles; with
digital switchgear a self-supervised communication cable passes
that information from cubicle to cubicle
–Flexibility to adapt and change the switchgear, without costly and
time-consuming physical re-wiring and changing panel hardware
–Using the programmable logic in the protection relays changes
are done easily and faster
–GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event)
communication between the station equipment for improved
speed and reduced switchgear cabling
–Fewer wires reduces risk of failures

free plugging in and unplugging under voltage without additional
personal safety equipment for protection against electrical
hazards
Economical:Saves time thanks to the plug-in technology and
saves space thanks to the vertical installation of the bus bar
socket
Easy and quick maintenance of the switchboard as wiring is
already integrated in the plug-in socket system, thus the
installation is better arranged and tidier to check, even by not
highly qualified personnel
Flexible: rapid replacement, easy expansion and modification
even under voltage as no tools are needed thanks to the snap-on
installation
