ABB provided a rapid-response, near-record-time build-out and delivery of a new power transformer for Eaton Corp. to install at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, U.S.

ABB worked closely with Eaton, a diversified power management company, to design, build and deliver a critical replacement small power transformer unit to the Tennessee federal lab. ABB engineers quickly responded to emergency requests and worked around the clock to design, build and deliver a small power transformer from its South Boston, Virginia, U.S., plant, in less than two weeks. Normal lead time for small power transformers is 10 to 12 weeks.

“We received an emergency request from officials at the Oak Ridge Laboratory after an older transformer had stopped working,” said Molly McCloud, a local Eaton rep. “We requested the initial transformer over the holiday break, and ABB designed and delivered a new energy-efficient transformer unit to us in just 13 days. This quick, proactive response really saved the day for researchers and employees at the laboratory.”
