The traction transformers have multi-system capability, which allows them to operate at different voltage levels, the company said.

ABB will manufacture the transformers at its Secheron unit in Geneva, Switzerland, and the delivery will be completed in 2012.

ABB global transformers business head Markus Heimbach said that the reliability, compactness and overall design of these transformers is ideal for high-speed applications, ensuring high performance and energy efficiency.
