Evolutionary development
means modern products
All of our generators have been developed
as standard, modular units offering great
flexibility to ensure that the right generator
can be selected for each installation.
We endeavour to introduce each
improvement resulting from innovation,
from new materials or from new manufacturing
methods quickly so that customers can enjoy the
benefits as soon as possible. We can also introduce
changes in ways to ensure that they can be fitted
to generators supplied earlier so that existing users
can also share the benefits.
After long periods of continuous development
it is sometimes necessary to make more radical
changes and, in the end of the 1990s we decided

And modern factories
The focus on the development of 4-pole and 6-pole
synchronous generators and motors has been highly
successful and has enabled us to build one of the
world’s largest and most modern factories for this
class of work.

ABB 4-pole and 6-pole synchronous generators
and motors are sold all over the world by ABB sales
companies. They are supported from Sweden.
The development, design and production
facilities are concentrated at Västerås in Sweden.
This concentration helps to ensure that the most
modern production resources are used to maintain
high quality and low costs – to reinforce ABB’s
leading position in this field.
Long-term profitable operation of these machines
requires reliable performance from every component.
To achieve this ABB offers services that extend well
beyond the warranty period. These services include
preventive and corrective servicing and up-grading
to improve performance and extend the life;
also the supply of spare parts and support.
Servicing is undertaken in conjunction with
specialist service companies from within and
outside the ABB group, thus providing global cover.
ABB can be your partner from the very beginning
through to the end of the generator’s life cycle.
