ABB to power Europe's largest electric car battery factory in Poland
Substation and key technologies to ensure reliable power supply for manufacture of electric car batteries and support sustainable transportation
ABB provides a substation for Europes largest electric car battery factory in Poland, which belongs to LG Chem, one of the largest chemical companies in the world. Key equipment supplies include transformers, surge arrestors and gas insulated switchgear that will ensure safe and reliable power supplies.
"This substation solution is a good example of how ABB brings together domain expertise, best-in-class products and system integration capabilities" says Patrick Fragman, head of ABBs Grid Integration business, part of the companys Power Grids division. "The project also reinforces ABBs commitment to sustainable transportation."
The substation is a key element of the power supply system, linking the grid and the power supply to the plant. Its proper operation is crucial for the energy security of the plant, especially in case of highly automated facilities, where power supply issues can result in costly downtime.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer
HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
