Manufacturing

Core, coil and tank made under one roof.

Key processes from coil winding and assembly to logistics and testing run at over 95% automation. The lines use Stollberg winding technology, MICAVAC kerosene vapour-phase drying and fully automatic core cutting from Georg and Soenen.

  • Large oil-immersed transformer winding line
  • Dry-type coil vacuum casting and intelligent winding lines
  • Robotic tank welding and C5-rated coating
Manufacturing base

Testing

Routine and type tests up to 220 kV.

The six-side shielded transformer laboratory has its own generator set and runs routine and type tests for transformers of 220 kV and below.
