Mumbai, Oct 20 (KNN) Tata Power has partnered with Cargill and Schneider Electric to provide two of India’s first 25 MVA natural ester filled transformers which were recently installed in Mumbai.
“Use of Natural Ester in transformers sets a new industry paradigm for the power sector across the country. FR3 fluid provides improved fire safety, extended transformer life and additional loading capacity with a smaller footprint,” said the company in a statement.
On this initiative, ED and COO, Tata Power, Ashok Sethi said, “Tata Power is committed towards providing greener, safer and sustainable environment while serving our consumers with uninterrupted power supply. We plan to refine the design to further decrease the footprint and improve performance. This could change the landscape of the power industry in India and create a new paradigm that can be adopted successfully anywhere in the world.”
Tata Power began working with Cargill’s dielectric fluids team on a prototype in 2013 for a compact 25 MVA transformer filled with FR3 fluid, which would be comparable in size to a 20 MVA Mineral Oil filled transformer. The eventual transformer design provides increased capacity by 8 MVA, while reducing the footprint by 17 percent; it yields cost-savings of about 16 percent and reduces noise level from 73 decibels to 59 decibels.
