Electro-Wind Ltd<\/a>, designer and manufacturer of transformers and electrical equipment for numerous industries including rail, has announced the design, manufacture, and delivery of a custom-built 500kVA 3PH 415V\/690V transformer for the construction of Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.<\/p>\n

Working in partnership with leading a electrical wholesaler, Electro-Wind was entrusted with supplying a highly robust IP55-rated transformer, specifically engineered for external environments and designed for installation on a raised platform. The transformer now plays a crucial role in providing temporary power to the Unit 2 reactor <\/strong>polar crane during the commissioning phase.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

One of the project\u2019s greatest challenges was achieving the stringent IP55 protection rating while keeping the size and weight of the unit to a minimum. Electro-Wind\u2019s engineering team overcame this by incorporating forced air cooling, ensuring complete compliance with environmental standards while maintaining exceptional performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n

This specialist transformer is currently powering one of the largest land-based cranes in the world, a vital asset to the development of Hinkley Point C. Despite the project\u2019s time-sensitive nature, Electro-Wind successfully delivered the unit within a demanding eight-week schedule, meeting all specifications precisely and on time.<\/p>\n

The achievement highlights Electro-Wind\u2019s reputation as a trusted UK manufacturer of innovative and cost-effective transformer solutions. Both the wholesaler and project managers at Hinkley Point C praised the quality, performance, and service provided throughout the project.<\/p>\n

For over 35 years, Electro-Wind engineers have been designing and manufacturing single and three-phase transformer products for customers across the globe. With a well-established reputation, the company has fulfilled many contracts for companies including Alstom, Tata, Corus, Mitsubishi, Siemens, and Toyota.<\/p>\n

Electro-Wind Ltd remains committed to supporting the UK\u2019s most ambitious infrastructure developments with reliable, bespoke power solutions. In 2022, Rail Engineer reported<\/a> on its contribution to the Feltham and Wokingham re-signalling project.<\/p>\n
