India's first 1200 kV transformer made by BHEL commissioned

India's first 1200 kV HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) Transformer, manufactured by BHEL, has been commissioned at the 1200 kV National Test Station at Bina (MP) on January 27, a BHEL release said on Saturday.

With the commissioning of the 1200 kV Transmission system, India joins the elite group of countries like Russia, Japan and China who have commissioned such High Voltage Transmission systems, the release claimed.

An official press release said that 1200 kV System is the highest rated transmission voltage in the world and very few organisations in the world have this technology. BHEL is the first Indian organisation to have developed the technology with in-house efforts, it further claimed.
