ABB Ability™ LEAP – Peace of Mind for High Voltage Motors and Generators
ABB Ability™ LEAP (Life Expectancy Analysis Program) is an advanced diagnostic service designed to assess the condition and expected lifetime of stator winding insulation in high voltage motors and generators. Using advanced modeling and data analysis, LEAP helps plan maintenance, prevent failures, and extend equipment life with precision and confidence.
Key Points
- Advanced Insulation Analysis: Evaluates stator winding insulation—the most critical component in motor uptime—for both condition and remaining lifetime
- Data-Based Decision Support: Empirical models based on 25,000+ tests help determine when to repair, rewind, or replace equipment
- Single-Site Efficiency: Testing and analysis completed in one visit during routine maintenance, with no extended downtime
- Condition-Based Maintenance Optimization: Enables a shift from time-based to condition-based maintenance strategies
- Preventive Maintenance Insight: Identifies thermal, electrical, and mechanical stress factors before failures occur, minimizing unplanned downtime
- Comprehensive On-Site Testing: Combines DC and AC measurements (PDCA, Tan Delta, Partial Discharge) for a full assessment of insulation health
- Actionable Expert Reports: Provides clear results, lifetime projections, and specific recommendations for long- and short-term maintenance planning
