BHEL sets new record of manufacturing India’s highest-rated auto transformer

State-owned engineering firm BHEL on Friday said it has set a new record by successfully manufacturing and testing India’s highest-rated auto transformer.

“BHEL has successfully manufactured and tested (short circuit) India’s highest rating Auto Transformer at the National High Power Test Laboratory (NHPTL) at Bina in Madhya Pradesh,” it said in a statement.

This is a new benchmark in the global transformer industry, according to the statement.

Short circuit test is the most stringent, special type test for power transformers, which is conducted to prove the adequacy for power transformers to withstand abnormal conditions of short circuit to ensure reliability during their operations in the field.
