Electro-Wind Limited is proud to announce the successful deployment of a bespoke 40kVA IP65-rated transformer at the HS2 Water Orton Viaduct, supporting one of the most significant transport infrastructure projects in the United Kingdom.
The installation marks another key milestone for the HS2 Delta Junction, one of the most technically challenging and ambitious sections of the high-speed rail network in the Midlands. The junction will play a central role in linking Birmingham Curzon Street Station with Crewe and Manchester, forming part of the long-term vision to reshape the nation’s transport connectivity.
Electro-Wind’s transformer, engineered to deliver consistent performance and resilience, features a 3.3kV three-phase Delta input and a 400V three-phase Star with Neutral and Earth output. Designed for durability in demanding environments, the IP65 enclosure ensures full protection from dust and water ingress, guaranteeing reliable power delivery to critical systems within the viaduct structure.
Technical Sales Director Lee Cooper commented: “We’re delighted to contribute to such a transformative national project. Our engineering team worked closely with HS2 contractors to develop a robust and efficient transformer solution capable of withstanding the environmental and operational demands of large-scale infrastructure.”
The successful integration of Electro-Wind’s technology reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting major national developments with high-quality, precision-engineered power solutions. Electro-Wind continues to play a vital role in powering the future of UK infrastructure through innovation, reliability and technical excellence.
