Introduction to High Voltage Training
In order to maintain a skilled and

knowledgeable workforce, it is
imperative for service personnel,
engineers, and their respective
supervisors to receive the best
training possible.
ABB set the standard for quality

training on high voltage products. 1.
By combining classroom theory

and hands-on application in our
training lab, students gain real-
world knowledge on everything
from mechanism and circuit 2.
breaker troubleshooting and
maintenance to how they are
built. After a training course,
students are readily equipped to
troubleshoot, diagnose, maintain,
and overhaul high voltage

equipment relevant to the class
he /she attended.
1. Students inspect a single pole 245 kV dead tank breaker during

class.
2. Students overhaul AHMA/HMB mechanisms in the training lab.
3. Students learn the latest circuit breaker troubleshooting methods and
tips before working on equipment in the training lab.
4. Students learn diagnostic testing done in the control cabinet during
on site training. 4.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q What do I need to bring?
A Personal protective equipment (PPE). A portable computer (laptop / tablet is not needed but may be helpful. Each desk
has an electrical outlet. To provide the highest level of learning possible, the training center and hands-on workshop is
located inside ABB’s High Voltage Service remanufacturing facility. Trainees must wear PPE. Steel toe boots and safety
glasses are required. Gloves may be worn during the hands-on portion at the attendee’s personal discretion.
Q What do I need to know / study beforehand?

A There is no pre-training studying or coursework required. We recommend you have at least two years of high voltage or
power equipment experience.
Q Is there are cafeteria on site?

A Lunch will be provided. Vending machines are also located on site.
Q Will I get to see any circuit breakers in production?

A Yes, training includes two tours. ABB North America’s dead tank circuit breaker production facility where a full portfolio of
72 - 800 kV high voltage breakers are built every year, along with the production of high voltage switchgear mechanisms,
surge arresters, and capacitors. ABB High Voltage Service’s remanufacturing facility produces custom built high voltage
switchgear, rebuilds dead tank breakers, live tank breakers, oil breakers, and gas insulated switchgear, in addition to
