ABB’s contribution that has helped in making this dream project, come true.

This engineering marvel includes a range of ABB technologies – the strongest pump houses contain the giant water elevators – ABB mega motors of 40MW  (19 of these motors spread across 2 pump houses) . They are the largest capacity and physically biggest motors used by ABB India in an irrigation project. Each motor has a footprint of close to 30 square meters. These will help lift 2 TMC of water to a height of 50 meters. Powering these motors up to pumping speed from a dead start requires considerable amounts of electricity and potentially puts great strain on the mechanical systems and the local utility grid. ABB’s load commutated inverter (LCI) drive solution minimizes the electrical stress and inrush current in the system.

Additionally, ABB’s control relay panels act a shield guard for the system’s equipment and entire electrical network. The fiber optic terminal equipment (FOTE) ensures real time communication across equipment and linked substations across the project and along with ABB MV switchgears and HV breakers will provide power protection, stability and management of a project of this magnitude.
