ABB Panelboards

ABB Panelboard Authorized Dealer

ABB panelboards provide reliable branch circuit protection and power distribution for commercial, industrial, institutional, and mission-critical facilities. Bay Power supplies ABB lighting panelboards, power panelboards, replacement breakers, and related distribution equipment for new construction, facility expansions, equipment replacement, and modernization projects.

As an authorized ABB distributor, Bay Power helps electrical contractors, engineers, facility managers, and purchasing teams identify panelboard equipment that fits the system voltage, current rating, available fault current, enclosure requirements, connected loads, and project schedule. Whether the need involves a complete new panelboard, an expansion to an existing system, or a replacement for previous-generation GE equipment, our team can help evaluate the application and identify a practical solution.

ABB Lighting and Power Panelboards

Panelboards divide an incoming electrical supply into protected branch circuits within a common enclosure. They are commonly used to distribute power to lighting, receptacles, HVAC equipment, machinery, and other facility loads while providing overcurrent protection through individual circuit breakers.

ABB offers both lighting panelboards and power panelboards for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Lighting panelboards typically support a larger number of lower-amperage branch circuits, while power panelboards are commonly used for higher-capacity feeders and larger electrical loads.

Bay Power can help coordinate ABB panelboards with upstream ABB switchboards, ABB switchgear, and ABB transformers. We can also support downstream equipment and replacement protection needs with ABB circuit breakers and related accessories.

Customers comparing multiple equipment types can also review our broader selection of panelboards and power panels from ABB and other major manufacturers.

ABB ReliaGear® Lighting Panelboards

ABB ReliaGear® lighting panelboards are designed to provide flexible branch circuit distribution for commercial, institutional, and light industrial facilities. Available configurations can support projects ranging from routine tenant improvements and building expansions to demanding applications where equipment reliability and system visibility are important.

ReliaGear lighting panelboard options may include main-lug-only or main-breaker arrangements, top or bottom feeds, multiple enclosure types, feeder or sub-feed options, surge protection, and metering capabilities. Depending on the configuration, ABB SACE® Tmax® XT molded case circuit breakers may be used as mains, sub-feeds, or branch protection.

Typical applications include:

• Commercial offices and retail facilities
• Schools and universities
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Hotels and multifamily properties
• Manufacturing and light industrial facilities
• Data centers and critical power environments
• Municipal and government buildings
• Facility expansions and renovation projects

Some ReliaGear lighting panelboards can also incorporate branch circuit monitoring and energy-management functionality. These capabilities may help facility teams monitor electrical usage, identify load trends, and improve visibility into individual branch circuits.

ReliaGear® RD Lighting Panelboards

ABB ReliaGear RD lighting panelboards are designed for flexible commercial and industrial distribution applications. Their compact design can help conserve wall and equipment-room space while providing a broad range of electrical configurations and circuit protection options.

ReliaGear RD configurations may support main-lug-only, main-breaker, feed-through-lug, and sub-feed-breaker arrangements. Available enclosure options can address indoor, outdoor, washdown, dust, and other operating environments, depending on the project requirements.

The correct panelboard configuration should be based on more than its ampere rating alone. Bay Power can help review:

• System voltage and phase
• Main bus and main-device rating
• Available short-circuit current
• Number and size of branch circuits
• Main breaker or main-lug requirements
• Top-feed or bottom-feed arrangement
• Enclosure type
• Grounding and neutral requirements
• Metering and monitoring needs
• Physical dimensions and installation space

ABB ReliaGear® neXT Power Panelboards

ReliaGear neXT power panelboards are designed for higher-capacity commercial and industrial distribution applications. The platform uses a modular, field-modifiable design with ABB SACE Tmax XT plug-in circuit breakers to simplify installation, breaker placement, future changes, and ongoing service.

The field-reversible bus structure can help accommodate either top or bottom feeds without requiring a completely different interior. Plug-in breaker technology can also make it easier to modify breaker locations or replace protective devices as system requirements change.

ReliaGear neXT power panelboards may be appropriate for:

• Commercial and high-rise buildings
• Manufacturing facilities
• Institutional and educational campuses
• Food and beverage facilities
• Data centers
• Critical power applications
• Large industrial complexes

For applications requiring more capacity or a larger distribution assembly, Bay Power can help determine whether a panelboard, switchboard, or complete switchgear solution is the most appropriate fit.

Fast-Turnaround and Merchandised Panelboard Solutions

Construction schedules, emergency replacements, renovations, and facility expansions do not always allow time for a long factory lead time. ABB offers merchandised ReliaGear panelboard solutions designed to be configured from distributor-stocked components for faster project turnaround.

Merchandised lighting panelboards may be assembled using stocked interiors, enclosures, fronts, main devices, branch breakers, and related accessories. ReliaGear neXT SuperBox power panelboard solutions can also provide a flexible starting point for projects requiring field-configurable power distribution.

Actual availability depends on the panelboard type, ratings, breakers, enclosure, and accessories required. Bay Power can review the project specifications and determine whether a stocked or quick-turn configuration is available, or whether a factory-assembled solution is needed.

Replacement Breakers and Legacy ABB or GE Panelboards

Many facilities continue to operate previous-generation ABB and GE panelboards, including A-Series and Spectra equipment. When a breaker fails, a new circuit must be added, or an existing load changes, the complete panelboard may not need to be replaced.

Bay Power can help identify replacement ABB molded case circuit breakers, legacy GE breakers, accessories, and other components for existing panelboards. Available options may include current-production, surplus, obsolete, or professionally reconditioned equipment, depending on the panel series and application.

When requesting help with an existing panelboard, provide:

• Panelboard manufacturer and product series
• Complete nameplate photographs
• Panel schedule and interior label photographs
• System voltage and phase
• Main bus and main-device rating
• Existing breaker catalog numbers
• Required breaker poles and amperage
• Available space or circuit position
• Photographs of the interior and breaker mounting system

Small differences in breaker frame, mounting style, bus connection, interrupting rating, and panel series can affect compatibility. Our team can review the available information and help determine whether a direct replacement, compatible breaker, panel modification, or complete panelboard replacement is appropriate.

Panelboard Replacement and Distribution Modernization

Aging panelboards may eventually face obsolete breakers, damaged bus components, insufficient circuit capacity, limited fault-current ratings, or inadequate space for new loads. Bay Power helps customers evaluate whether the most practical solution is to replace individual components, add a new panel, upgrade the existing distribution system, or develop a phased modernization plan.

Panelboard projects may also involve changes to upstream transformers, switchboards, switchgear, or feeder protection. Bay Power can support the broader electrical distribution system rather than treating the panelboard as an isolated component.

Where a project includes motors or process equipment, we can also coordinate panelboard and distribution requirements with ABB motor control centers and other motor-control equipment.

Our testing and repair services can support related breaker testing, equipment evaluation, transformer testing, troubleshooting, and system-reliability work when an existing facility is being repaired or modernized.
