Providing tailored electrical power solutions to the African market has positioned Trafo Power Solutions as a key player in the region. The company’s success is rooted in its deep expertise, extensive experience and thorough understanding of the needs of mining operations across the continent. This has enabled Trafo Power Solutions to meet the unique challenges associated with electrical power supply in these harsh and demanding environments.
One of the company’s latest projects highlights its ability to provide specialised transformer solutions suited to the rigorous conditions of mining applications. Trafo Power Solutions recently supplied nine transformers to an electrical contractor for installation at a mineral sands operation in Mozambique.
This delivery included seven 800 kVA transformers designed for skid mounting, ensuring ease of mobility across the expansive mining site. The remaining two units, rated at 160 kVA, will be pole- mounted. All transformers in this order are rated at 22 kV to 415 V, aligning with the site’s specific voltage requirements.
Upgraded features
David Claassen, Managing Director of Trafo Power Solutions, explains that this latest order follows a previous successful supply of four dry-type transformers directly to the mining operation. The earlier batch included 3150 kVA transformers, also rated at 22 kV to 415 V, and installed within IP23 enclosures. These transformers were equipped with the necessary control and protection equipment to ensure robust performance in the highly corrosive operating environment of the mineral sands mine.
