Generator Step-Up (GSU) transformers use the voltage provided from a generator at a relatively low voltage and high current. they then convert it to a lower current but higher voltage level so that the energy can be transmitted effectively at longer distance. These types of transformers and designed normally with a YN-d configuration and can be built using our specialized core or shell form technology.

HOW WE REDESIGN AND REBUILD TRANSFORMERS
- Repairing transformers is an exacting science. At VTCU our technicians have the expertise to bring advanced design techniques to your damaged or obsolete transformers:
- The transformer is disassembled and examined to determine original design characteristics, weakness, and the specific cause of failure
- CAD programs are utilized to optimize design and analyze short circuit strength to meet the specifications.
- Materials are ordered based on the most advantageous design
- Replacement coils are wound with new conductor and new insulation materials by our technicians
- Any modifications or upgrades to the tank, clamping structure and the LTC controls are completed in parallel
- After the transformer is assembled, the tank exterior is sanded, primed and repainted. The transformer is then rigorously tested in accordance with the latest ANSI standards
- Only after all tests have been passed will VTC allow the transformer to be shipped
- VTC can also arrange all logistical support for delivery and erection
