Transformers for Yas Bay Arena in Abu Dhabi

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 2019 – For the currently still under construction standing project «Yas Bay Arena» in Abu Dhabi, Tesar Gulf will deliver 8 cast resin transformers. The arena is designed to host sports, corporate, and cultural events and promises a low-energy consumption approach.

In December 2017, the Dutch construction company Bam International started the work on the «Yas Bay Arena» in Abu Dhabi. The 18.000-seater is designed by HOK and Pascall+Watson and created by Miral, Abu Dhabi’s creator of destinations. The arena will host sports, corporate, and cultural events, uniting people and places through unique immersive and exciting experiences.

The beautifully designed roof truss will help cut energy consumption through a self-shading facade that will support natural light and insulate against heat. Tesar’s cast resin transformers will also contribute to the low energy-consumption approach of the project. The Ecodesign transformers have small losses in the magnetic core and windings and therefore reduce energy consumption.

Some specifications about the project:

• A total of 8 cast resin transformers
• Different ratings (from 1500kVA to 2500kVA)
• Seats 18.000 people
• Retail, food and beverage opportunities at the promenade next to the arena
• Expected to be completed in November 2019

We already delivered our state-of-the-art transformers to the Yas Marina Formula 1 Circuit. It is a great honour for us to again support a land-mark project on Yas Island.
