10 Units of SCB12-800kVA Dry-Type Transformers for a Specialist Cancer Hospital in the UK
Project Overview
HBTP supplied 10 units of SCB12-800/10 transformers for a specialist cancer treatment and research center in London, United Kingdom. The project represents a significant deployment in the specialist healthcare sector, requiring transformers engineered for reliable operation under demanding conditions.
Project Background
This specialist cancer center houses advanced medical imaging equipment including MRI, CT, and linear accelerators for radiation therapy. These devices require high-quality power with minimal harmonic distortion and voltage fluctuations to ensure accurate imaging and treatment delivery.
Customer Requirements
800kVA dry-type transformers, medical-grade power quality specifications, low noise (≤52dB(A)) for patient areas, design for non-linear loads from medical imaging equipment, compliance with BS EN 60076-11 and UK HTM (Health Technical Memorandum) standards.
Our Solution
HBTP supplied its SCB12-series transformers, engineered specifically for specialist healthcare applications. The high-quality CRGO silicon steel core with step-lap mitered joints minimizes no-load losses, while copper windings provide enhanced short-circuit withstand capability and long service life.

Quality & Testing
All units passed harmonic load testing to verify performance with non-linear medical equipment loads. Sound level testing confirmed ≤52dB(A) for installation near patient care areas. Medical-grade isolation specifications were verified.
Delivery & Installation
The 10 units were delivered in sequenced batches to minimize disruption to the hospital's ongoing operations during the phased expansion. HBTP provided technical support for coordination with medical equipment suppliers.
Project Outcomes
All 10 transformers were successfully energized and are operating at rated capacity. The project was completed on schedule, and the customer has reported excellent performance with no unplanned outages attributed to transformer equipment. HBTP's reliable power distribution solution has contributed to the project's overall success and operational efficiency.
