03 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Areva T&D India’s Transmission business has flagged off India’s first 1200 kV Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) at Hosur. The company made significant investments in the country in 2009 to set up new factories at Greenfield sites in Vadodara, Hosur and Padappal and upgraded its existing factories to manufacture globally acclaimed advanced technology products and solutions in transmission. This was a step towards Areva’s long standing commitment to offer world class products and service to its valued customers. Areva T&D India today has the capability to provide the entire range of all transmission equipments upto 785kv and above including power transformers (EHV 800kv DC and UHV 1200kV AC).

Further, the company will support the Power Grid’s Bina project by providing 1200 kV capacitor voltage transformer (CVTs), disconnectors and digital current transformers. These high end products have been developed, manufactured and tested at its world class factories at Hosur and Padappai (Chennai). This is a significant nation building initiative by the company to take the transmission infrastructure of the country to the world class level.

Power Grid is in the process of establishing a 1200 kV Ultra High Voltage AC transmission system at Bina. This development will facilitate equipment’s field testing before deploying the technology for commercial purposes. Successful completion of test station at 1200kV will be a major accomplishment of Power Grid to upgrade the existing transmission voltage and create a highly advanced transmission corridor.
