Reliable access to electrical power is a

basic requirement o modern society,

in private lie, in the public sector and in

industry. Our challenge is to be the mar-

ket's leading developer and manuacturer

o high voltage equipment. The goal is to

enable sae and eective transer and dis-

tribution o electrical power with the leastpossible environmental impact.

Development in recent years has

ocused on fnding solutions that increase

availability in power grids. Our modern

high voltage equipment can make sub-

stantial contributions in improving the

standard o living or consumers o elec-

tricity all over the world.

High voltage technology is a core activity with

long traditions at ABB. The center o operations isin Ludvika, Sweden, where many innovative ideas

have been born and realized. Today's operations

are more intensive than ever. We are the world's

largest manuacturer o high voltage equipment

and have customers in most countries. Our pro-

duction o surge arresters, circuit breakers, instru-

ment transormers, capacitors and substation mod-

ules is conducted with advanced production tech-

nology in modern plants that maintain extremely

high levels o quality.

Operational reliability is one o the most impor-tant qualities o our products and they have dem-

onstrated their robustness and reliability in all

types o operating environments and climates.

High Voltage Valley

We work in a stimulating technology environ-

ment The High Voltage Valley. Besides our own

operations in the area, there are a number o

other companies and organizations specializing

in high voltage technology, including STRI's high

voltage laboratory and ABB's own high power andhigh voltage laboratory. The common goal is to

urther develop high voltage technology so that

it becomes even better at supporting sustainable

social development.

ABB is a complete supplier in the eld

o high voltage technology, and we also oer anumber o important peripheral services in the

orm o engineering, station layout, maintenance,

spare parts, commissioning and training.

EXCOUNT-II

Surge arrester monitor

EXCOUNT-II is a user riendly

device or monitoring both

surge arresters and overvoltages

in power grids. The device isconnected to a surge arrester

in the same way as traditional

counters. In supplements to reg-

istration o total overvoltages,

EXCOUNT-II provides inorma-

tion on the time o day, date and

amplitude o the overvoltages.

With EXCOUNT-II, total and

resistive leak currents can also

be measured.

Our high voltage circuit breakers are available in

both puer and Auto-PuerTM designs. The

breaking medium is SF6gas. The HPL puer

circuit breaker has been manuactured and rened

since the 1970s and demonstrates exceedingly

high switching reliability, rom small inductive andcapacitive currents to short-circuit currents o up

to 80 kA.

The LTB Auto-Puer circuit breaker was

developed during the 1980s. The dierence in

comparison to a conventional puer circuit

breaker is that it breaks using the arc's own

energy. Both the HPL and LTB have break times

shorter than two periods and thus minimize

damage to the power system i a short circuit

should occur. Because all o our circuit breakers

use our unique patented contact system o

silver-plated copper, the circuit breakers attain

high perormance and long service lives. For

operation, our well-proven spring operating mech-

anism is used, assuring high operational reliability.

The motor operating mechanism Motor DriveTM

is now also available as an option or LTB circuit

breakers.

Disconnecting circuit breakers

The Combined disconnecting circuit breakers

comply with the requirements or both

disconnectors and circuit breakers, and have been

tested in accordance with the IEC standard or

disconnecting circuit breakers. Disconnecting

circuit breakers can thereore replace the

conventional combination o circuit breakers

and separate disconnectors in high voltage

substations. This permits compact substation

layouts with high availability and minimal

maintenance.

Instrument transormers

Our complete and modern product assortmentencompasses current transormers and inductive

and capacitor voltage transormers in the voltage

range 36 800 kV.

They are oil-insulated and most are lled with

quartz sand, which is a unique ABB solution

entailing that the amount o oil can be minimized.

Our instrument transormers are primarily used

or revenue metering, control, indication and relay

protection.

All instrument transormers are customer-

adapted or the preerred metering and protec-tion classes, and all environments and climates. I

requested, we can supply most types with silicone

rubber insulators.

The instrument transormers can be easily inte-

grated with our substation modules, withdrawable

circuit breakers (WCB) or disconnecting circuit

breakers (DCB). And with a simple bracket, they

can be combined with our conventional circuit

breakers.

Our instrument transormers are produced in

modern and highly automated plants with veryhigh levels o cleanliness to assure high quality.

Surge arresters

Our well-known EXLIM and PEXLIM surgearresters are both based on ABB's high quality

zinc oxide block, which is characterized by very

good energy absorbing capabilities, high saety

margins and long service lie. EXLIM has porcelain

insulators while PEXLIM has insulators o silicone

rubber.

The PEXLIM assortment oers considerable fexi-

bility through low weight, and opens opportunities

or new application areas, such as line arresters.

The low weight simplies installation and permits

mounting in tight spaces and at nearly any angle.The assortment covers all existing applications

or system voltages 52 800 kV with line dis-

charge classes 2 5.

Power capacitors

Capacitors ll an important unction in transmis-

sion and distribution networks. Eciency in net-

works, as well as voltage, quickly decrease whenburdened with reactive power, harmonics and

transer o dissipation power.

Eciency improvements are normally achieved

through reactive power compensation as close to

the load as possible. Overloads on transormers,

lines and cables are avoided through the instal-

lation o a need-adapted capacitor bank that is

either connected in series or in parallel with the

network.

Harmonics

Harmonics in a network create several types

o problems, or example, losses in machines

and apparatuses, disturbances in overriding and

adjoining networks, equipment ailures and reso-

nance problems between the network's inductive

and capacitive parts. Measures or dampening

harmonics vary depending on the type o load in

which they are generated and their location in the

network.

Filters

ABB supplies custom lter solutions, both activeand passive lters, depending on the nature o the

problem. Passive lters are supplied as band pass

(BP), high pass (HP) or C-lters. Our compre-

hensive assortment o high voltage applications

embraces both conventional HiQ oil-impregnated

capacitors and DryQ dry-insulated capacitors.

QBANK open shunt capacitor banks are avail-

able or voltages up to 550 kV.

CHARM, open banks or lter applications are

supplied as BP, HP or C-lters, rated up to 550 kV.

For intermediate voltage networks, there

are enclosed banks SIKAP and ABBACUS, or

increased personal saety. ABBACUS is suppliedwith automatic power regulation in several steps.

Banks or special applications, such as pole

installation, container-built lters, three-phase

units, grading capacitors, etc. are also available.

DryQ

The DryQ dry capacitor represents the latest in

capacitor technology, making it possible to build

shunt banks in a more cost-eective and environ-

mentally riendly manner. The lack o impregnat-

ing oil eliminates the risk or oil leakage, and con-

sequently, the risk or re. Banks with DryQ are

supplied as complete units with associated rames,

enabling rapid installation and commissioning.

ABB has extensive experience in building substa-

tions or high voltage systems. This experience is

very benecial in development o our high voltage

equipment. Because it embraces all types o highvoltage equipment needed in a modern substa-

tion, we can coordinate development o the various

equipment types so that they t together in an

optimal manner.

An example o this is the development o our

compact substation modules, where today's nearly

maintenance-ree high voltage circuit breakers

permit the elimination o conventional maintenance-

intensive disconnectors. This reduces the need o

removing busbars rom service, enabling simpler

busbar solutions. With our modern high voltage

circuit breakers as a base, we oer two alternatives

that provide opportunities to both simpliy

substations and save space.

Withdrawable circuit breakers

The withdrawable circuit breaker is designed to

constitute a part o a complete type-approved

substation. The circuit breaker is trolley-mounted

and is moved between the closed and open posi-

tions using a motorized moving device. The station-

ary primary contacts are maintenance-ree.

With the withdrawable circuit breaker as a base,we can provide complete, type-tested circuit breaker

bay modules including busbars. The high voltage

equipment includes all the necessary unctions or

a circuit breaker bay and can be supplied in high

prole congurations or outdoor substations and

in low prole congurations or indoor substations.

IMB current transormers can be installed on the

circuit breaker module's rame

Line entrance bays, which can include voltage

transormers, grounding switches and surge arrest-

ers, are also in the assortment.

Disconnecting circuit breakers

In a disconnecting circuit breaker, the disconnecting

unction is conducted by the circuit breaker's own

contacts, which are well-protected in the break-ing chamber. A disconnecting circuit breaker thus

replaces the conventional combination with a circuit

breaker and separate disconnector. A reliable inter-

locking system in combination with a motorized

grounding switch and clear indication o the contact

position provide ull personal saety.
