8 Units of SCB13-630kVA Dry-Type Transformers for a Biosafety Laboratory in Germany
Project Overview
HBTP supplied 8 units of SCB13-630/10 transformers for a BSL-4 high-containment biosafety research laboratory in Munich, Germany. The project represents a significant deployment in the biomedical research sector, requiring transformers engineered for reliable operation under demanding conditions.
Project Background
A BSL-4 (Biosafety Level 4) laboratory handles the most dangerous pathogens, requiring absolute reliability in power supply for containment systems, air handling, and life support. Any power interruption could compromise biosafety, making 2N redundancy essential.
Customer Requirements
630kVA dry-type transformers with 2N redundancy configuration, critical lab-grade power quality, F1 fire resistance, low noise for laboratory environment, compliance with German DIN standards and BMBF biosafety regulations, and seamless UPS integration.
Our Solution
HBTP supplied its SCB13-series transformers, engineered specifically for biomedical research 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 extended reliability testing and power quality analysis. Redundancy switchover testing verified zero-interruption transfer between transformer feeds. BSL-4 containment power requirements were verified in coordination with the lab's safety team.
Delivery & Installation
The 8 units (4 per redundant feed) were delivered and commissioned with strict adherence to laboratory construction protocols. HBTP provided 24/7 on-call support during the lab's initial activation phase.
Project Outcomes
All 8 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.
