PW01 ABB Electrical power component

Brand Introduction

ABB is one of the world's top 500 companies, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, and traded on the Zurich, Stockholm and New York stock exchanges.ABB was formed in 1988 by the merger of two international companies with more than 100 years of history - the Swedish company ASEA and the Swiss company BBC Brown Boveri. ABB is a global leader in power and automation technology, providing solutions to customers in the industrial, energy, power, transport and building sectors that help them to improve productivity and energy efficiency while reducing their impact on the environment. The ABB Group has a presence in more than 100 countries, with 150,000 employees and sales of approximately US$ 39 billion in 2012.

Products

ABB has been involved in many key national projects in China, such as the construction of the Three Gorges power station and power transmission and distribution projects, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the West-to-East Electricity Transmission Project, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the Beijing Olympic Stadium Project, the Capital International Airport Renovation and Expansion Project, the Substation Project, the Power Distribution Project for the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and many of the projects for the Shanghai World Expo. In addition, ABB also provides reliable power or automation technology solutions for projects in various industries, such as Asia's largest petrochemical project, Shanghai SECCO, numerous urban rail transit projects; world famous automobile manufacturers such as Shanghai-Volkswagen, Shanghai General Motors, BMW Group, etc.; iron and steel and metal customers such as Baosteel, Shagang, etc.; and data centre customers such as World Wide Web Data Center. Especially in the field of UHV DC transmission, ABB has participated in the construction of ±800kV UHV transmission projects such as Xiangjiaba-Shanghai, Nuozhadu-Guangdong, Jinping-Sunan, Hami-Zhengzhou, and Xiluodu-Zhexi. Among them, the Hami-Zhengzhou ±800kV UHV DC transmission line, which is scheduled to be put into operation in 2014, has created the world's highest voltage level, the largest transmission capacity, the longest transmission distance and other characteristics.

FUNCTIONS

Power electronic components: such as IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), MOSFET (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), etc., used for power conversion and control.

Relays and contactors: for on-off control and protection of circuits.

Sensors and Transmitters: used to detect electrical parameters such as current, voltage, power, etc. and convert them into measurable signals.
