Building on the proven quality standards and craftsmanship of the MNS® system, this product deeply integrates modern internet and smart sensing technologies to enable predictive maintenance, remote condition monitoring, and equipment health diagnostics. It helps users optimize energy efficiency, reduce downtime, support corporate green and low-carbon goals, and promote a sustainable operating model.

Best Practice: Digitalization Empowers Green Chemical Industry Upgrades

The core advantages of the MNS® 3.0 Digital low-voltage switchgear have been thoroughly validated in real-world applications, with a major chemical group project serving as a vivid example. In the rapidly transforming chemical industry, digitalization, intelligence, and informatization are becoming key drivers for industrial development. While ensuring the stable operation of power equipment, the client also demanded an intelligent upgrade to their power distribution solution.

In this project, ABB provided a comprehensive power distribution solution, including the UniGear ZS1 digital medium-voltage switchgear, MNS® 3.0 Digital low-voltage switchgear, and the MNS® Digital Management Platform.

Intelligent Control for Enhanced Efficiency

The MNS® 3.0 Digital low-voltage switchgear is equipped with a complete suite of intelligent low-voltage components, including temperature monitoring at key points, the intelligent motor control unit MC510, and the intelligent feeder control unit FC610. Combined with the deployment of the MNS® Digital Management Platform, a chemical enterprise customer has achieved real-time monitoring and analysis of its power distribution equipment. This enables early identification of potential equipment faults, significantly reducing unplanned downtime.

This innovative solution not only effectively reduces maintenance costs but also improves overall equipment operational efficiency and reliability through predictive maintenance strategies—helping the customer achieve dual gains in productivity and economic performance.

 


 

A Foundation of Safety
 

Thanks to its advanced arc protection design and reduced power outage time, the switchgear supports safe replacement of functional units without interrupting power, greatly enhancing the safety and reliability of the plant's power supply. Additionally, with a flexible design and compact structure, the rear cable exit solution helps save valuable space in the distribution room, providing comprehensive protection for both equipment and personnel, and ensuring stable and orderly factory operations.


Green Certification
 

Through its energy consumption reporting and analysis capabilities, the MNS® Digital Management Platform empowers customers to manage and optimize their energy use with precision. The MNS® 3.0 Digital low-voltage switchgear has obtained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification, carbon footprint verification, and other environmental credentials. These help reduce energy waste and strongly support enterprises in achieving their green and low-carbon goals. Through these initiatives, ABB’s solutions are helping customers improve energy efficiency and realize a win-win scenario of business growth and environmental sustainability.
