Canada, Bowmanville: WEG will supply the substation of Votorantim Cimentos North America’s (St Marys Cement Inc.) plant in Bowmanville, Canada with its transformers. According to WEG, the scope consists of four transformers of 20 and 25 MVA power and 43.8/4.16 kV voltage. In the project, the sales and engineering teams from Brazil worked in partnership with V.J. Pamensky Canada Inc., which is the exclusive distributor of WEG in Canada.
In order to ensure the performance of the transformers under the climatic conditions they will be exposed to, they will be filled with special oil with 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 reaching -35°C.
