Automatic circuit recloser shipped to Saudi Arabia, contributing to the intelligent upgrade of the Middle East power grid
A recent batch of our Strong Power independently developed outdoor high-voltage automatic reclosers has successfully completed final quality inspection and commissioning and is now ready for shipment to the of Saudi Arabia. This delivery represents a significant step forward in our expansion across the Middle Eastern market and further demonstrates that our power equipment meets rigorous international standards in terms of reliability, intelligence, and environmental adaptability.
The Saudi Arabian Market: Challenges and Opportunities
As one of the most dynamic electricity markets in the world, Saudi Arabia is witnessing rapid advancement in its grid infrastructure, with a clear focus on intelligence and high availability. Nevertheless, the country’s unique environmental conditions impose strict demands on electrical equipment:
Extreme Temperatures: The region experiences consistently high temperatures throughout the year, with surface levels often exceeding 50°C.
Abrasive Environments: Frequent sandstorms in desert areas present a serious challenge to equipment sealing and ingress protection.
Our Solution: Intelligent Protection Engineered for Desert Conditions
The intelligent reclosers destined for Saudi Arabia have been specifically engineered to address the above challenges. These recloser will be deployed across the Kingdom’s medium-voltage distribution networks, where they will play a critical role in isolating transient faults and safeguarding the integrity of primary feeders.
Recloser Key Product Features:
- Fully Sealed Construction with Sandstorm Resistance: Rated to IP67, the enclosures ensure that all internal components remain completely dry and free from contaminants, even under prolonged exposure to sand and saline conditions. This eliminates the risk of internal flashovers caused by particle ingress.
- Wide Temperature Tolerance: Core components are subjected to rigorous high- and low-temperature cycling tests to guarantee reliable operation across an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +70°C. The mechanisms are designed to resist seizure, and all electronic assemblies maintain functional integrity under thermal stress.
- Intelligent Control and Remote Operation: Equipped with advanced Feeder Terminal Units (FTUs Recloser Controller), the reclosers support multiple communication protocols including GPRS, 4G, and fibre optics. This allows grid operators to carry out data acquisition, status monitoring, and remote switching from control centres located hundreds of kilometres away—significantly improving response times to network events without the need for on-site attendance.
- Stringent Quality Assurance: From component selection to full-unit burn-in testing, every stage of production complies with IEC standards and Saudi Arabian SEC specifications. Prior to dispatch, our quality control team performs multiple cycles of reclosing operations, dielectric tests, and mechanical functionality checks on each unit to ensure optimal performance upon arrival.
This shipment represents more than a routine export; it is a further integration of Chinese manufacturing excellence with the energy strategy of the Middle East. We remain committed to supporting power infrastructure development in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative through superior product quality and attentive, localised service.
