25 Units of S13-3150kVA/33kV Transformers for a Steel Manufacturing Plant in India

Project Overview

HBTP supplied 25 units of S13-3150/33 transformers for an integrated steel plant with blast furnace and rolling mills in Odisha, India. The project represents a significant deployment in the steel manufacturing sector, requiring transformers engineered for reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Project Background

India is the world's second-largest steel producer, and Odisha is a major steel manufacturing hub with abundant iron ore and coal. This integrated plant has a capacity of 3 million tons per year, with blast furnaces, converters, continuous casters, and rolling mills requiring massive, reliable power.

Customer Requirements

Our Solution

HBTP supplied its S13-series transformers, engineered specifically for steel manufacturing 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 IS 2026 standard tests including temperature rise, impedance, and dielectric tests. Harmonic load testing verified performance with non-linear furnace and mill drive loads. Multi-stage cooling system performance was verified at each stage.

Delivery & Installation

The 25 units were delivered to the plant in phased shipments matching the construction of various process units. HBTP provided on-site commissioning support during the plant's ramp-up phase.

Project Outcomes

All 25 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.
