6 Transformers and 6 special reactors with Kapton insulation

THE CUSTOMER

In the global industrial landscape, the ability to replicate and improve special equipment is an additional competence that is appreciated by the market. Ortea recently confirmed its capabilities in this area through a project for a Mexican customer specialising in the production of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

THE NEED

The customer was facing a critical problem: he needed to find a new supplier for isolation transformers and reactors with special features. In his search for a reliable partner, he contacted Ortea and asked to replicate and possibly improve the equipment he needed, not an easy challenge considering the complexity of the specifications.

OUR SOLUTION

To meet the customer’s needs, Ortea redesigned and implemented the following supply:

  • Nr.6 160kVA at 60Hz Dzn0 K4 isolation transformers
  • Nr.6 17kVA at 60Hz reactors with 470 μH inductance

This equipment was designed and manufactured with quality materials, using grain oriented iron and Kapton insulation. Kapton, easily recognisable by its characteristic orange colour, is known for its resistance to high temperatures, which make it suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
Furthermore, one of the technical specifications to be met for these transformers is to be able to withstand a Ripple frequency of 2500Hz. This feature is particularly relevant, as it implies a high level of losses that must be managed effectively.
