orking in partnership with a leading electrical wholesaler, Electro-Wind was entrusted
with supplying a highly robust IP55-rated transformer, specifi cally engineered for external environments and designed for installation on a raised platform. The transformer now plays a crucial role in providing temporary power to the Unit 2 reactor polar crane during the commissioning phase.
One of the key challenges for the project was achieving the stringent IP55 protection rating while keeping the size and weight of the unit to a minimum. Electro-Wind’s engineering team overcame this by incorporating forced air cooling, ensuring complete compliance with environmental standards while maintaining exceptional performance and effi ciency. This specialist transformer is currently powering one of the largest land-based cranes
in the world, a vital asset to the development of Hinkley Point C. Despite the project’s time- sensitive nature, Electro-Wind successfully delivered the unit within a demanding eight- week schedule, meeting all specifi cations precisely and on time.
The construction of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station is one of the UK’s most signifi cant infrastructure projects, and this achievement highlights Electro-Wind’s reputation as a trusted UK manufacturer of innovative and cost-eff ective transformer solutions. Both the wholesaler and project managers at Hinkley Point C praised the quality, performance and service provided throughout the project.
Electro-Wind remains committed to supporting the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure developments with reliable, bespoke power solutions.
