Empowering Every Sector: A 360° Electrification Strategy
ABB’s presentation highlighted targeted solutions for a broad range of sectors:
- Residential & Commercial Buildings
- Hospitals, Hotels, and Educational Institutions
- Retail and Shopping Malls
- Airports, Metro Transport, and Offices
- Industrial Plants and Utility Infrastructure
Smart Power Portfolio: Engineering Excellence
Mr. Adoyeji introduced ABB’s robust lineup of products, including:
- Circuit Breakers (Emax 2, Tmax XT, Formula Series)
- Automatic Transfer Switching (ATS Lite)
- Panel Pro: a smart switchboard interface
- Softstarters (PSR, PSE, PSTX) for optimized motor control
- Motor Control and Safety: AF Series Contactors, MPCBs, sensors, relays, and emergency stops
Innovation in Action
One of the standout technologies was the SACE Infinitus, a solid-state circuit breaker offering arc-free performance and superior energy efficiency—signaling a new era in electrical protection.
Attendees also got a glimpse into ABB Ability™, the company’s digital platform that enables:
- Predictive maintenance
- Real-time energy monitoring
- Asset optimization and system analytics
These tools are especially vital for energy management in mission-critical facilities such as hospitals, schools, and government installations.
Protecting Systems and People
ABB also showcased advanced protection devices tailored for Ghana’s electrical infrastructure:
- Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs)
- Residual Current Devices (RCCBs)
- Surge Protective Devices (SPDs)
- Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs)
These solutions are engineered to enhance safety, compliance, and long-term resilience.
Enclosures, Monitoring & Efficiency
From Primo and Mistral DB units to general-purpose steel enclosures, ABB’s portfolio meets both aesthetic and industrial needs. Their InSite SCU100/200 and M1M/M4M power meters further allow for real-time monitoring and improved energy efficiency across all voltage levels.
100 Years of Circuit Protection Excellence
Mr. Adoyeji’s presentation also honored a landmark achievement: 100 years of the Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB), invented by Hugo Stotz in 1924. This historic innovation remains a cornerstone of safe electrification today.
Ghana’s Energy Future Is Smart and Sustainable
With this presentation, ABB reinforced its role as a technology leader and local development partner, working closely with JUAL Group to empower industries, improve public infrastructure, and drive innovation in energy systems across Ghana and beyond.
