ABB ERS Enclosed Rotary Disconnect Switches

Time to Upgrade: ABB’s UL98 ERS Rotary Disconnect Switch Ensures Safety as Legacy Models Phase Out

As ABB’s UL98 Enclosed Rotary Disconnect Switches (EOT, NF, FC, and FJ models) enter the Limited phase of their lifecycle on January 1, 2025, ABB encourages customers to make the switch to the advanced UL98 ERS range. With a Last Time Buy deadline of December 31, 2024, now is the time to transition to the new technology to ensure continued safety, performance, and efficiency.

Why Switch to the UL98 ERS?

The new UL98 ERS range is designed to bring operational benefits that make it an ideal upgrade. ABB has enhanced the product to serve a broader array of applications with a streamlined, updated design focused on:

  • Enhanced Protection: Protects equipment and personnel with increased safety measures.
  • Improved Uptime: Reduces downtime, keeping operations running smoothly.
  • Lower Maintenance Requirements: Designed to minimize ongoing maintenance needs, which can lead to cost savings over time.

Product Life Cycle Timeline:

The transition to the UL98 ERS range aligns with ABB’s lifecycle management strategy, aimed at phasing out older technologies in favor of modern solutions. Here’s the current lifecycle timeline for the UL98 Enclosed Rotary Disconnect Switches:

  • Limited Phase Start: January 1, 2025 – available only for remaining inventory.
  • Last Time Buy Deadline: December 31, 2024 – last chance to place orders above on-hand inventory.

Once inventory is depleted, the legacy products will no longer be available. This lifecycle update provides an opportune moment to upgrade, aligning with ABB’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions.
