2008-10-20 - This is part of ABB’s goal to strengthen local support and customer relations for OVR reclosers in Central and South America, and other Spanish speaking countries.
On October 1-2, 2008, Power Products Medium Voltage (PPMV) hosted the second OVR recloser and PCD relay class customer training class in Spanish in Lake Mary, Florida. The class included all training manuals, catalogues, and instruction books in Spanish. The class is aimed at showing our customers and local support personnel how to utilize and demonstrate OVR recloser features and capabilities.
The training was divided into a two day event, with the first day focused on basic information and demonstrations of the OVR and PCD technical features and capabilities. On day two, factory personnel provided the class with practical, hands on exposure to OVR reclosers, including troubleshooting techniques and a Q&A session.
We had the pleasure of hosting several customers from Coopeguanacaste (Costa Rica), Trelec (Guatemala), in addition to many of our ABB colleagues that provide support for OVR reclosers and PCD relays in the markets of Brazil, Venezuela, and Guatemala. Ciro Gomez was also present to represent ABB's Miami office with a great presentation on loop schemes and feeder automation.
