VCB Maintenance and Testing


Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) Maintenance
To ensure your equipment operates reliably we recommend an appropriate maintenance plan. We attend sites for regular maintenance and also for emergencies when an ACB is not functioning correctly.

Schedules to suit you and your site
Each site and ACB is different. This means a service schedule is to be assessed after a discussion or visit with you. The schedule depends on the environment the ACBs operate in and how often they operate too little use causes as much need for maintenance as excessive use.
Our service plan enables us to service your breaker in situ if fixed or withdrawable or to remove and work on it at our premises. During the service we disassemble certain elements of the ACB to allow inspection, lubrication, repair and testing. We have a range of specialized secondary injection test equipment to enable us to test the operation of the ACBs electronic trip units and their parameters.
Common faults we see:
Most of these common faults can be avoided by an appropriate service schedule.
