Trafo supplies three transformers to beer manufacturer
Dry-type transformer specialist Trafo Power Solutions has delivered three transformers, as well as other electrical upgrades, for a global beer maker’s expanded facility in Gauteng, South Africa.
In addition to supplying three transformers, the company interfaced closely with the customer’s Europe-based engineering team as well as with local electrical contractors and consultants.
The three transformers were designed, supplied and commissioned by Trafo. These included a 1250 kVA and a 1600 kVA unit – both with 11kV to 400 V capacity – as well as a 2000 kVA unit for 11 kV to 690 V application.
“These transformers all comply with the European Directive on Efficiency and are the lowest-loss dry-type transformers available,” Claassen says. “This was the customer’s specification, as they place strong priority on energy efficiency worldwide.”
Also, in the scope of work was medium voltage switchgear, including two ring-main units (RMUs) with one a three-way and the other a four-way.
“We modified the RMU’s in line with the customer’s requirement, including a battery-tripping unit (BTU) on each,” he says. “This ensures there is power available regardless of the condition of the circuit breaker.”
