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.

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.
