12 Units of SCB12-2000kVA Dry-Type Transformers for a Shopping Mall in the UK
Project Overview
HBTP supplied 12 units of SCB12-2000kVA/10kV dry-type transformers for a major shopping mall redevelopment in Manchester, UK. The mall features over 200 retail units, a cinema complex, and multiple restaurants.
Project Background
Commercial shopping centers require flexible, reliable power distribution to support diverse tenants with varying load profiles. This redevelopment project upgraded the entire electrical infrastructure to meet current UK wiring regulations and energy efficiency standards.
Customer Requirements
Requirements included: 2000kVA capacity, 10kV/0.4kV ratio, SCB12 efficiency class, dry-type construction for indoor installation, compliance with BS EN 60076, low noise for public areas, and CE marking.
Our Solution
HBTP supplied SCB12 dry-type transformers with high-efficiency design to reduce ongoing energy costs for the mall operator. The compact footprint allowed installation in existing plant rooms without structural modifications.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | SCB12-2000/10 |
| Capacity | 2000 kVA |
| Voltage Ratio | 10 / 0.4 kV |
| Efficiency | SCB12 |
| Standard | BS EN 60076 |
| Cooling | ANAF |
Quality & Testing
All units underwent third-party witnessed testing by a UK-approved inspection body. Tests included no-load loss, load loss, impedance voltage, temperature rise, and sound level measurements.
Delivery & Installation
The 12 transformers were delivered in sequenced batches to minimize disruption to mall operations during the phased redevelopment. HBTP provided technical support for the UK-based installation contractors.
Project Outcomes
The mall achieved full electrical certification and opened to the public on schedule. The high-efficiency transformers are projected to save the mall operator approximately 15% on annual electricity costs compared to the previous equipment.
