Ortea, a leading designer and manufacturer of low-voltage isolating transformers, has obtained an important certification for the acoustics of its transformers. This certification attests compliance with international noise emission standards, reinforcing the company’s commitment to the quality of its products.
The Certification Process for Ortea Transformers
Ortea isolation transformers have undergone a series of rigorous tests conducted according to IEC 60076-10:2016, which specifies methods for measuring the sound level of transformers and reactors.
The tests, carried out under controlled conditions, analysed:
- Noise emissions in different configurations: transformers were tested both in the cabin and in daylight.
- Various operating conditions: power supply from the mains at different voltages, power supply from inverters and under short-circuit conditions.
- Ambient and residual noise measurements: to ensure that the values obtained accurately reflect the transformer’s noise emission.
Acoustic Test Results
The tests showed that Ortea transformers are characterised by a low sound level, which is particularly significant in cabin configurations.
The sound spectrum is characterised by stable harmonic components, confirming the construction quality and acoustic optimisation of the product.
Benefits for Ortea customers
Acoustic certification strengthens Ortea’s competitiveness, offering customers
- Guarantee of conformity: compliance with current acoustic regulations.
- Superior quality: products certified for their low noise emissions.
- Sustainability: reduction of noise pollution in sensitive environments such as residential buildings and healthcare facilities.
- Solutions for noise-sensitive environments
Ortea not only provides certified transformers, but also offers innovative solutions to further improve noise management.
These include:
- Advanced acoustic materials: use of sound-absorbing or acoustic metamaterials for the interior surfaces of cabins.
- Vibration-dampening feet: to minimise the transmission of vibrations and noise through solid surfaces.
- Installation optimisation: customer support to adapt transformers to the most demanding installation environments.
The acoustic certification of Ortea transformers is an important milestone that consolidates the company’s position as a leader in quality and sustainability. Ortea continues to innovate to offer state-of-the-art products, responding to growing market demands and helping to create quieter and more comfortable working and living environments.
