1► Shanghai E-Prix event witnessed scientific and technological breakthroughs, ABB joined hands with global partners to build the future, uphold an open and win-win attitude to promote technological innovation and development of the industry

2► ABB open license SmarTube switchboard bus patent, enabling the development of China’s electrical industry, and jointly write a safe, intelligent and sustainable electrified future

BFK458-20E On May 25, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship (Shanghai E-Prix) was held in Shanghai. As the title partner of the sporting event, ABB not only brought an exciting viewing experience to the global audience, but also at the pre-race customer summit, Announced the open licensing of its core patent for a new generation of medium voltage switchgear SmarTube technology, “Bus Assembly for air insulated high voltage switchgear.”

This milestone represents a solid step in ABB’s drive for technological innovation and development in the electrical industry. Through advanced integrated intelligent design, SmarTube technology significantly improves the performance of medium voltage switchgear in terms of electric field distribution, air clearance, mechanical strength, energy consumption and primary and secondary integration intelligence, bringing users a safer, smarter and more environmentally friendly solution.

Huang Ming, head of the primary switchgear product group of ABB Electric Power Distribution System in China, said that the development of SmarTube technology embodies the wisdom and efforts of ABB’s research and development team for many years. Through continuous technological innovation and optimization, SmarTube technology has demonstrated excellent performance and stable reliability in practical applications. For example, the UnigearZS1 switchgear using SmarTube technology can pass strict freezing tests without heat shrink tubing, and the maximum lightning shock withstand voltage BIL is up to 95kV, which fully proves its stability and reliability in extreme environments. In addition, SmarTube technology also has the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection, which can reduce the main circuit energy loss of the switch cabinet by more than 25%, bringing considerable economic and BFK458-20E social benefits to users.

In addition to improved performance, SmarTube technology also has a very high level of intelligence. It can carry out real-time monitoring and data analysis through built-in sensors, and achieve accurate prediction of the operating state of the switch cabinet with machine learning algorithms. This intelligent management mode not only reduces the operation and maintenance cost, but also improves the operation efficiency and security of the equipment.

ABB looks forward to broader and deeper cooperation with its global counterparts. Through joint research and development, sharing technological achievements and market resources, to promote the sustained development and prosperity of the medium voltage electrical industry. The opening of SmarTube technology will further consolidate Xiamen ABB Switch Co., LTD. ‘s leading position in the global market.
