CONSULTING

Whether you need a transformer for a substation, a wind turbine, an industrial building or an H2 electrolyser container, it must meet all technical requirements and withstand all operating conditions.

Especially in the field of renewable energy generation (wind and PV), design according to classic rules can lead to frequent damage to the transformers and thus to expensive failures of the power plants.

The complexity of designing a transformer, e.g. for use in hydrogen electrolysers, is also increasing. Those responsible are often quickly overwhelmed with such tasks, regardless of whether they are creating a specification or, as a transformer manufacturer, have to meet the requirements of such a specification in the design.

Over the past 30 years, we have gathered a wide range of know-how in the field of transformers and can help you to avoid expensive mistakes.

Electrical Design

  • Creation of a transformer specification according to customer requirements

  • Design review. Checking whether all regulations and requirements of a specification / standard are met.

  • Analysis of the installation conditions of a transformer. Optimization of ventilation and cooling

  • Design of electrical insulation for high-voltage systems

  • Optimized lifetime consumption taking into account (over)load and grid conditions

  • Investigation of electrical resonance excitations

  • eco design

Mechanical Design

  • Standardization of design assemblies for more efficient design process and reduction of purchase price.

  • Technical characteristics & documentation

  • Design notes Short-circuit resistance, materials, insulating materials (for a transformer, but also the associated connections and infrastructure).

Development

  • Amorphous Transformers

  • control of electric fields

  • winding support

  • FEM simulations

Electrical/Mechanical Testing:

  • Supervising routine/type/special tests on behalf of the customer

  • Acceptance of transformers from manufacturers

  • Service / damage analysis / root cause analysis.

Others

  • Transformer tender and contact to manufacturers

  • Calculation of the pressure increase due to arc faults

  • Planning of protective measures (internal electrical surges, magnetic shielding (EMC), personal protection in the event of arcing faults...)

  • Advice on cost-out measures, support with implementation.

  • Clarification of the technical questions up to the release.

training courses

If a knowledge gap has been identified in a technical employee or if a better technical understanding is required for the successful handling of a customer or development project, we will be happy to prepare and conduct a tailor-made training course on the subject of transformers. It doesn't matter whether the participants come from the technical or commercial area. We convey our knowledge and experience at the appropriate technical level so that the training objectives can be achieved.
