"We have been successful in developing a 1200 KVA transformer. It costs Rs 25 crore and can serve a population of five lakh if installed at a big power station," RK Mahapatra, AGM, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Jhansi, said while talking to newspersons at HBTI on Thursday.
Mahapatra was one of the keynote speakers during Resonance.
He said that BHEL has been exporting quality transformers to countries like Greece, Jordan, Oman, Afghanistan, many Latin American nations, Tanzania, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Egypt. He said that Egypt and Jordan are the biggest importers of transformers from BHEL.
Mahapatra informed that BHEL has developed `control shut reactor' which is capable of controlling power fluctuation.
"Control shut reactor has been developed for the first time in the country. It can be installed in power stations and is capable of controlling fluctuation. This helps in saving electrical appliances from getting damaged," he added.
He said that India has become the third country after US and Japan to have developed super conducting transformer. Is just one-tenth the size of the normal transformers of 2 MVA capacity. Mahapatra said that in these transformers, liquid nitrogen is used as a coolant. A 2 MVA transformer of this type costs around Rs 3 crore, he added.
