Thesis Work for Dimensioning new Lifting Lugs for Transformer Transportation i Ludvika

Join ABB and work in a team that is dedicated to creating a future where innovative digital technologies allow greater access to cleaner energy.

You will be part of the Power Transformers’ Mechanical design team which is part of the Power Grids division. We are the world's leading supplier of power and automation products, systems and service solutions for the entire value chain from power generation to the transmission and distribution of electricity.

• A solution that can take more than 100 tones per lifting lug (preferably 150 tones).
• Not increase the total transport width.
• Designed for the wider synthetic slings but with option to use steel rope as well.
• Bigger diameter of pulleye to use same steel rope inside factory, to reduce hours of changing the rope.
• Preferably higher vertical placement to make it easier to remove the sling after lowering down the unit into the girder frame.
• Not interfere with Transport rails. If on same beam there need to be XX mm distance between pulleye and rail.
• Clear understanding on load distribution. Especially if more than 4 points are used.
• Dimension based on Eurocode or other international standard.

• Master program in mechanical engineering.
