ABB NeoGear™
ABB NeoGear™
The safest switchgear ever made
ABB’s low-voltage switchgear has been the product of choice since 1972. With NeoGear ABB introduces the next innovation leap in switchgear technology for safe, smart and sustainable electrification.
NeoGear is ready to help customers across process industries to manage changing external dynamics and realize new opportunities in their working environments. Central to NeoGear is its laminated bus plate technology, which replaces traditional horizontal and vertical busbar systems. This innovative bus plate technology provides e.g. arc safety by inherent design. Combined with the connectivity and intelligence of the ABB Ability™ platform, NeoGear is an unrivalled solution for industry.
Description
