18 Units of SCB10-1600kVA Dry-Type Transformers for Singapore Container Port

Project Overview

HBTP supplied 18 units of SCB10-1600/10 transformers for a major container terminal expansion handling 30 million TEUs annually in Singapore. The project represents a significant deployment in the container port sector, requiring transformers engineered for reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Project Background

Singapore's port infrastructure is critical to global trade. This expansion project added new automated stacking cranes and reefer container yards, requiring reliable power distribution in a tropical, high-humidity coastal environment with salt-laden air.

Customer Requirements

Our Solution

HBTP supplied its SCB10-series transformers, engineered specifically for container port 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 humidity cycling tests to verify performance in tropical conditions. Salt spray testing confirmed corrosion resistance. Routine tests included winding resistance, turns ratio, no-load loss, load loss, and partial discharge measurements.

Delivery & Installation

The 18 units were delivered in two shipments to align with the port's phased expansion. HBTP provided installation manuals and training for the port's maintenance team.

Project Outcomes

All 18 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.
