Why use Copper instead of Aluminum in Power Transformers

Transformers are used to adjust the delivery voltages across electricity generation, distribution and use. While modern EU designs already operate typically with a high efficiency, transformer efficiency matters because of their omni-presence fan estimated 4 million units across the EU).

Distribution Transformer (DTs) Flyer

The growth focus of Indian Economy is driving investments in power infrastructure. The envisaged thermal power generation capacity addition of 101 GW during 13th 5-year plan and ambitious plan of adding renewable energy will open huge growth opportunities for transformers. The main issues faced by the users (mainly the public distribution companies) of distribution transformer are premature failures and high losses. The distribution losses range from almost 5-6% to as high as 35%. The failure rates of DTs also range from 1-2% to as high as 18-20%.

Adoption of High Efficiency Motors brochure

Electric motors are a basic need of industry & are known as the “work horses” of industry as it is estimated that motors use about 70% of the total electrical load in industry. Electric motors are used in driving a broad range of industrial applications, such as pumps, compressors, fans or blowers, conveyors and other machines. The poor effciency of the substandard motors lead to more energy consumption and energy cost. Therefore improvement in effciency of the motor must be a part of any comprehensive energy conservation effort.

National Motor Replacement Program

The primary objective of National Motor Replacement Program (NMRP) is to enable easier and faster adoption of premium efficiency IE3 motors by addressing the barrier of paying a higher & upfront cost by the industry. The program aims to replace the currently installed lower efficiency motors which are old and have been rewound multiple times over its lifetime, with new IE3 motors.
