The JV will manufacture transformers ranging from 72.5 kV to 750 kV.
ABB, Jiangsu’s JV portfolio will include oil and SF6 stand-alone current and voltage transformers, ring-core current transformers, GIS voltage transformers and optical transformers.
The company already provides voltage products including circuit breaker and switchgear modules, gas-insulated switchgear, capacitors, disconnectors, apparatus and devices at six manufacturing locations in China.
