THE CLIENT
A large mechanical company in Northern Italy specialising in the production of boring and milling machines.
THE NEED
For energy-hungry companies, characterised by high energy consumption, the supply voltage is usually increased to 500V, thus reducing the current absorbed for the same power and allowing the use of smaller power cables with consequent cost savings.
However, operating equipment requires a voltage of 400V, making it essential to use step-down transformers that not only ensure galvanic isolation, but also lower the voltage from 500V to 400V safely and efficiently.
OUR SOLUTION
The step-down power transformer had to be installed in a particularly hot environment.
To ensure optimum performance and operational safety, Ortea’s engineers developed a customised solution, designing a cabinet housing equipped with a cooling system using air conditioners.
In addition, to ensure safe and practical integration, the electrical cabinet was completed with the installation of both input and output switches.
Ortea is able to meet the most specific requirements thanks to its expertise in customising solutions, offering reliable and high-performance technology.
