   Successfully implemented project management practices in ABB TeamGate through the execution of the \"Localization of Earthing Switches\" project for three AIS panel widths: 650 mm, 800 mm, and mm.Conducted comprehensive study of technical requirements and performed detailed 3D model reviews to assess material properties, manufacturing feasibility, and assembly processes for each component.Coordinated with SCM (Supply Chain Management), SQA (Supplier Quality Assurance), and vendors to align on technical specifications and ensure functionality and compliance across all components.Performed energy calculations for the earthing switch mechanism and validated results through rigid body dynamics simulations in ANSYS to meet operational speed and reliability targets.Designed and implemented a custom measurement system to validate critical mechanical parameters, including operating torque, earthing blade speed, closing time, and contact force prior to type testing.Successfully completed mechanical endurance testing (M0 class) for 650 mm and mm width earthing switches, verifying long-term mechanical reliability.Achieved certification by completing three-phase and single-phase short-time current withstand tests and peak current withstand tests for 650 mm and 800 mm widths.Executed short-circuit making tests (E1 class) for 650 mm and 800 mm variants, ensuring compliance with IEC standards.Delivered a significant 27% cost reduction by localizing production and reducing import dependency, meeting the core objective of the project.Released three fully validated variants of localized earthing switches into production after successful execution of zero-series pilot orders and design validation.
