Power transformers Generator step-up and system intertie power transformers Securing high-quality AC transmission

Generator step-up transformers Built to withstand continuous full load Generator step-up transformers (GSU) are the critical link between the power station and the transmission network, often operated day and night at full load. They must be built to withstand extreme thermal loading without ageing prematurely. Our track record of 1,400+ units delivered since 1995 is proof of the superior quality of ABB’s GSU transformers. Long-term resistance to ageing A GSU transformer is loaded at 100 percent rating 24/7, throughout the year. It must be built to withstand the thermal load of high...

System intertie transformers Sustaining electrical and mechanical stress over their lifetime System intertie transformers are key elements in power networks, connecting AC networks of different voltage to each other. These power transformers must be built to withstand severe electrical stress from fault currents and transients. While seldom fully loaded, ABB system intertie transformers must stand ready at all times to handle any emergency case that may occur during their lifetime. Specified for maximum load for emergency purposes Since system intertie transformers are rarely loaded near...

Customer-specific transformers built on a controlled design process Power transformers are highly complex, engineered products. Over their lifetime of up to 40 years, they are subjected to enormous electrical, magnetic and mechanical loads. This calls for design excellence and a controlled structured design and manufacturing process. Structured design and manufacturing process To ensure efficient and reliable long-term operation, ABB has implemented common design rules on a global basis. Its TrafoStar design and manufacturing platform is a structured methodology applicable in all phases of...
