South Africa, Boksburg: ACTOM Power Transformers will be supplying three 315 MVA, 275 kV/88 kV/22 kV autotransformers for installation in the new 400 kV/275 kV/132 kV Sebenza intake substation currently under construction next to Kelvin power station near Kempton Park in the Gauteng province in South Africa.

The contract, due for completion in May 2016, was awarded to ACTOM Power Transformers by Midrand-based Consolidated Power Projects (CONCO), the electrical infrastructure construction contractor responsible for erecting the new substation.

ACTOM is another local producer competing in the growing Africa’s transformer market. In 2012, the company undertook a major upgrade of its design and production capabilities to be able to produce units of up 315 MVA at 275 kV, which has enabled it to enter new market sectors and compete more effectively with imported high-rated brands, the company states in the press release.
