Tauron – Poland, Welnowiec

Tauron had an old 110kV substation placed on the

roof of the building composed just by
disconnectors on lines bays and disconnectors on
trafo bays.
Customer need
Increse the reliability by retrofitting and extending
the substation architecture, but keeping the
limited space on the roof of the building.
ABB response
Compact H4 substation on the roof of the building
made with 2 PASS M0 Double circuit breaker.

Proven uses of PASS: Difficult accessibility
Edison – Italy, Fontanamora hydropower plant

EDISON Edison had to increase the voltage level of the

Fontanamora
power plant access
distribution substation in a small hydro power plant
stairway from medium to high voltage.
Issues to solve:
 Access to the powerhouse is only possible by
way of a steep, narrow stairway down the side of
the river gorge .
 Entrance to the powerhouse is small, and the
room available for installing switchgear is only
three square meters wide.
ABB response
ABB has studied a PASS that integrates a circuit
breaker, two disconnectors, plus current and voltage
transformers and the control and protection relay in a
single unit. Plug-in cable terminals further increase
compactness.
This compact unit can be dropped down the gorge
with a crane.

fast track projects this task to the Greek EPC METKA
Issues to solve:
 Quickly connect the power source to the grid
before the summer peak demand.
 Remoteness of the installation makes the civil
works expensive for the EPC
ABB response
Metka awarded the project to ABB.
With PASS technology, a complete 420 kV bay
equipped with protection and control can be installed
on a standard semi-trailer.
Thanks to the rotation of the insulator, it can be easily
transported and quickly delivered.

Deutsche Bahn - Germany

DEUSCHE BAHN, Deutsche Bahn AG, the German national railway

Substations in
Germany
company, had to retrofit a number of switchgears for
their two phases, 145 kV and 16,7 Hertz frequency
converter and traction railway substations.
Issues to solve:
 Deusche Bahn had always been forced to select
oversized 245 kV AIS switchgears, since the
standard 145 kv equipment can’t support the 16,7
Hz requirement.
ABB response
By using the innovative Motor Drive, the travel curve
of the circuit breaker can be adjusted to meet non-
standard frequencies, such as the 16,7 Hz. PASS
has been configured in a customized two-phases
module.

HEXCEL – USA

HEXCEL Hexcel is a leading advanced composite company. In

PASS substation their facility in Salt Lake city, Utah, Hexcel had an issue
during
commissioning regarding the quality of the power supply to the factory.

Issues to solve:

Because of the pollution of the environment due the

industrial powders, the conventional air-insulated
disconnectors had frequent flashovers, which
compromised the quality of the energy supply to the
manufacturing plants.

ABB response

The Hybrid switchgear PASS encloses all the high

voltage bay key-functions, included the disconnectors, in
a pressurized aluminum tank filled with SF6 gas.

Customer benefit

This means that the disconneting contact are protected

from the dusts, making PASS the ideal solution for
industrial or mining sites.

requirements for a new substation.

• The customer was evaluating solutions alternative to

AIS also because the civil work costs in isolated areas
(such as the mining site) was very high.

• Being a mine, the pollution of the enviroment was a

relevant factor to be considered.

ABB response

• PASS, thanks to the low baricenter, is a product

extremely resilient to earthquakes

• Gas-insulated enclosed disconnector grants reliability

for polluted environments

Customer benefit

• PASS feature of fast erection & commissioning enable

relevant savings in the installation costs
