CASE STUDY:
ABBACUS Metal Enclosed Capacitor Bank - a hit in Belgium
ABB’s Lilydale capacitor factory in Victoria has supplied more than eight ABBACUS Metal Enclosed Capacitor Bank (MECB) solutions to companies in Belgium, thanks to a collaboration between the Australian development team and ABB Belgium’s Herwig Vande Voorde. An expert in the reactive compensation field, Vande Voorde has suggested many improvements and features that are now part of the product.
The Lilydale capacitor team progressively looks to develop new capacitor solutions for local and export markets and its factory has the design and manufacturing flexibility to produce MECB solutions for most medium voltage customer requirements.
