Hitachi Energy inaugurates transformer components factory in Vadodara

AHMEDABAD: Hitachi Energy India Limited on Wednesday inaugurated its new transformer components manufacturing factory in Vadodara. The factory will produce dry bushings with Resin Impregnated Paper at a capacity of 1,000 units per annum ranging from 72.5 kV to 400 kV voltage. The company officials remained tightlipped about the investment in the plant.
Resin Impregnated Paper bushings offer an improvement over traditional oil-based alternatives by preventing moisture ingress, oil leakage and reducing risks of fire in case of failure. This technology enables operators to make the grid safer while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
“Over 80% of our portfolio is manufactured locally, and we are continuously evaluating how best to add capabilities for new technologies.
