Votorantim Cimentos North America selected WEG transformers to upgrade the substation of St Marys Cement’s Bowmanville, Ontario, plant.
The scope of supply consists of four transformers of 20 and 25 MVA power and 43.8/4.16 kV voltage. In this project, sales and engineering teams from Brazil worked in partnership with V.J Pamensky Canada, a company that has been the exclusive distributor of WEG in Canada for the last 47 years.
To ensure the performance of the transformers under the climatic conditions they will be exposed to, they have been filled with special oil with specific properties that maintain the proper viscosity in extremely cold conditions, equipped with on-load tap changers, and programmed to operate at a frequency of 60 Hz, ensuring operational reliability in an environment with temperatures down to -35ºC.
“By incorporating advanced insulation technologies and specific materials for low temperatures, WEG transformers stand out as the ideal choice for companies seeking to maximize operational efficiency, even in challenging environments,” the manufacturer said.
