Under the deal, ABB will design, manufacture, supply and install the power transformers rated at 67- and 100- MVA.
The transformers will be added to substations in the western, eastern, southern and central regions of the country.
ABB said the transformers are capable of withstanding thermal and mechanical stresses caused by severe climate conditions, high altitudes, cyclical loads, and short circuit forces.
The company added that the functional design also incorporates optimal insulation to address the extreme temperature and sound pressure, while corrosion-resistant paint adds to the robustness of the transformers.
ABB Power Products division head Bernhard Jucker said the company’s transformers are designed to maximise availability and ensure reliability, and optimise efficiency.
"Saudi Arabia remains a key market for ABB and we are delighted to continue supporting the country in its efforts to strengthen its power infrastructure," Jucker added.
ABB’s transformer portfolio includes power transformers rated up to 1,200kV, dry and liquid distribution transformers, traction and special application transformers, as well as related services and components.
