ABB and Billerud have been
working together for many years
to ensure production at Karlsborg

runs round the clock, as any
unplanned stoppage may have a
catastrophic effect on production
and revenue, not to mention
the safety of employees. That’s
why Billerud tests its switchgear
every three years and carries
out scheduled maintenance and
upgrades every seven weeks at
various parts of the production

With many components
provided by ABB, including lowand medium-voltage switchgear,
UPS, motors, drives and 800xA
control systems, ABB service
teams are an important part of
this process.
