Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2025
Name
Medium-voltage switchgear UniGear ZS1 12.12.32 IF, BT, LDU 650mm(w/CT, VT, CB)
Use advice for data set The life cycle assessment is a “cradle-to-grave” analysis, and the system boundaries are defined according to EN 50693, as required by the PCR EPDItaly007. For transparency reasons, the manufacturing stage is further divided into an upstream and core stage.
Technical purpose of product or process Medium-voltage air-insulated switchgear UniGear ZS1 is the ABB mainline global switchgear up to 24 kV, 4000 A, 63 kA. UniGear ZS1 is used to distribute electric power in a variety of demanding applications such as on offshore platforms, in container or cruise ships, in mines as well as in utility substations, power plants or chemical plants. Panels are available as a single busbar, double busbar, back-to-back or double level solution.

General comment on data set Both primary and secondary data are used. The main sources for primary data are the bill of materials, technical drawings, and site-specific foreground data provided by ABB. For all processes for which primary data are not available, generic background data originating from the ecoinvent v3.9.1 database, with system model “allocation, cut-off by classification”, are used. The LCA software used for the calculations is SimaPro 9.5. The utility consumption and waste generation by ABB, in the core manufacturing stage, is allocated to the production of one reference product according to applicable rules. For the end-of-life allocation, the “Polluter Pays” principle is adopted according to what is defined in the CEN/TR 16970 standard. However, the potential benefits and avoided loads from recovery and recycling processes are not considered because it is not required by the PCR. According to PCR, the cut-off criteria can be set to a maximum of 2 % of the overall environmental impacts. In this LCA, stickers have been excluded as their weights are negligible. Process black oxide and phosphate conversion coating have also been excluded due to the model complexity and unavailability of data.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
