ABB in Vietnam celebrates 20 years of development

ABB Hanoi plant in the company's 20 year anniversary

ABB’s presence in Vietnam is based on its pioneering Hanoi transformer plant and the more recent international-standard high and medium voltage component manufacturing plant in Bac Ninh.

Since its establishment in 1994, the ABB transformer factory in Hanoi has grown from a distribution transformer manufacturing plant into an integrated facility, which is the focused transformer factory of ABB Group. It   has developed a reputation for employing cost-effective green technology. It produces transformers that meet international environmental standards and utilise environmentally-friendly biodegradable and non-hazardous oil substitutes.

The plant now operates using world class manufacturing facilities and has developed a strong reputation in the Asia Pacific, Middle East and African markets.

The combined plants manufacture 10MVA, voltage up to 36kVdistribution transformers and small 10 to 63MVA, voltage up to 171kV power transformers.

The high and medium voltage component manufacturing plant in Bac Ninh was put into operation in 2010. The factory provides hi-tech core components for high voltage circuit breakers and other HV components for distribution to ABB factories worldwide. The plant was recently upgraded through the installation of a gas insulation system (GIS) production line and operates as a GIS provider to other ABB facilities throughout the world. Featured high voltage products include the ABBACUS Metal Enclosed Capacitor Bank (MECB), the new higher performance SF6-free IMB current transformer for 72-362 kV, and the disconnecting circuit breaker.

The power product medium voltage (PPMV) factory provides a wide range of medium voltage switchgear solutions, in collaboration with other ABB switchgear factories around the world. Combining the expertise of the medium and low voltage switchgear businesses, customised solutions are developed for integrating switchgear and related equipment into modular transportable switch rooms. These options provide significantly shorter on-site installation times, lower associated site costs and lower risks to ensure start-ups meet their  schedule.
