MESSAGE FROM PRABHAT JAIN

CEO/CTO

Over the past five decades, Virginia Transformer Corp. (VTC), has become the largest U.S.-owned manufacturer of power transformers in North America. The company was established in 1971 in Roanoke, VA, and started by manufacturing specialty transformers for the mining and steel industries, which required a high level of engineering expertise. The business has grown on this foundation of strong engineering talent. Current management took over leadership of the business in 1982, and the product range and markets served have expanded rapidly ever since to cover all of North America and countries around the globe.

Increasing to 15 MVA, 115 kV oil-insulated transformers, and dry-type transformers up to 10 MVA, 35 kV at the Roanoke plant in 1989 allowed the company to serve heavy industry and utility power applications. Currently, the company has six (6) plants in North America and can manufacture up to 500 MVA, and 525 kV class units. Virginia Transformer offers solutions for transformer design across a broad spectrum of utility, industrial, renewable energy, and commercial applications. This gives us the widest product range and the broadest application experience in all markets.

Today, with more than 400 engineers, VTC is the leading designer and manufacturer of power transformers in North America. In our continued commitment to excellence, we are applying our engineering skills to build a transformer that will last for 60 years to improve the reliability and resiliency of the North American electrical grid. With our well-equipped plants and overlap of range between them, VTC is the most reliable in the industry — the one-stop shop for transformers.

Our rapid growth in the last 50 years comes from technical strength and a focus on quality and customer service in all areas of our business. To ensure quality and on-time shipping, you need people; that is why our company has more than 2200 employees – more than 400 of those are engineers, with graduate, post-graduate, and Ph.D. degrees in all disciplines of business. Continuous improvement in design and manufacturing processes has reduced our defect rate to less than one percent of transformers shipped, with efforts underway to reduce that even further. Our staff has more than 300 years of combined transformer design experience, and there are more than 15,000 designs on file in our archives, which provide an extensive resource for selecting the optimum solution for any power transformer application. Our customers tell us that our technology, processes, people, and performance are the best in the industry.

THE FUTURE

As the largest U.S.-owned transformer manufacturer in North America, we have many goals for the future. We will continue to train our workforce at all locations and further reduce our lead times. We will pursue growth for all employees as we grow in new markets to boost our economy and create more jobs for American workers. Most importantly, we will do all of this with a specific focus to improve customer experience and overall customer service.

We are taking decisive actions to achieve these goals. We have invested in safety upgrades to all manufacturing facilities, developed and implemented ongoing training programs for employees, and substantially increased our presence in renewable power generation, heavy industry, electric utilities, and data center markets, to name a few.

The drive and commitment to excellence of everyone in our company is unmatched anywhere else – which explains why our business has grown faster in the past than any other power transformer manufacturer in North America. We make countless innovations and improvements in every aspect of our operations, and we will continue to do so. Our commitment to excellence is our culture.

U.S. power demand continues to grow, and we will grow with it. Together, we are the best in the industry, and we take great pride in the work we do each day to create reliable transformers, ensure the resiliency of the electrical grid, and enable U.S. manufacturing.

A Fifty-Year Legacy Transforming Power

The 50-Year Journey

The 1970s were our formative years, where our product offering was primarily specialty harmonic load transformers. In the ‘80s, we invested in industrial solutions for mills, transit, and rail. We diversified to utility generation, transmission, and distribution by the ‘90s. Since then, we have added a large power transformer capability to our portfolio to support the renewable energy generation sector. We hold the largest market share in this sector today. We take pride as a U.S.-based power transformer OEM to single-handedly reduce U.S. power transformer imports and bring power transformer manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. This was accomplished by building American manufacturing capability by adding six additional plants in 1995, 2003, 2013, 2014, and 2022, and adding management and technical resources in the U.S., Mexico, and India. We have also established strategic sourcing partnerships with vendors in the U.S., India, and China to ensure a robust supply chain.

50 years of excellence

Place in History: Manufacturing Power Transformers in the U.S.

In the early part of the 20th century, U.S. OEMs such as General Electric (GE), Westinghouse, and McGraw Edison built the transmission grid. However, many of these large electrical OEMs could not evolve to sustain the business. With no long-term vision, they eventually closed down. VTC took the lead domestically in expanding power transformer technology and processes, leading in physical science applications such as thermal, electromagnetic, materials, and drying, and improved productivity and accuracy through automation. We are moving forward to keep more business at home as overseas-based competitors close and cut back their U.S. transformer operations while we continue to offer our customers a superior option of great value and American engineering.

Vision for the Future

VTC will continue to build on — and share with employees, customers, and vendors — our Legacy of Excellence. We are leading the industry in producing 60-year lifespan transformers. With our VCM monitoring technology, we can keep our transformers working even longer than 60 years! This means uninterrupted power to homes, industries, and infrastructure. We are offering the VCM technology for free, so the industrial and utility markets can experience the benefits. This is part of our initiative to digitize power transformers for reliability and cybersecurity. Our continued improvements to production processes eliminate the possibility of errors or defects in our transformers. Our focus on quality ensures zero interruption to operations such as steel mills and renewable power generation. Our extensive training program develops highly skilled technicians through classroom and hands-on assessments, continuous professional development, team engagement, and box training of all Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) elements of production — for each and every employee. Our online customer support for engineering-starved utilities and 24/7 live technical support to customers (and non-customers) enable robust power to the grid and infrastructure. VTC will continue to build our organizational capability by promoting from within to build legacy knowledge among technicians, engineers, and managers.

SIX (6) MANUFACTURING PLANTS IN NORTH AMERICA

ROANOKE, VA – HEADQUARTERS

The headquarters for our corporation is located a few miles away from the picturesque Blue Ridge Parkway. Designed and constructed specifically to produce power transformers, this 145,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is state-of-the-art.

  • A vapor-phase drying (VPD) system executes optimum insulation dryness to achieve a 60-year life. The automated VPD system is computer-controlled; technicians can download the process parameters to their cell phones and two transformers can be processed simultaneously. The chamber maintains a vacuum level of .25 torr.
  • A second core-cutting machine was also installed to increase capacity and eliminate a critical single point of failure. The machine cuts a 26-inch-wide core. The edge burr level on this Soenen core-cutting machine is measured with a laser and is typically less than 20 microns. The burr-free edges deliver the lowest losses and the transformer sound level is reduced by 2dB.
  • Our instrumented, fully equipped test room with complete diagnostic capabilities can produce test reports automatically.
  • All floors of the plant are sealed to eliminate floor dust.
  • Four winding machines were added to increase the capacity to build larger coils. The plant is equipped to manufacture 50MVA, 138kV, 650kV BIL as well as manufacturing dry type to 10MVA, 35kV, 150kV BIL.
  • The flow of data to our Soenen core-cutting machine is seamless; it reduces human intervention and works virtually error-free. The Soenen software generates a file with cutting data that uploads the file onto a server. When the operators are ready to cut a particular job, they simply pull up the file with the assigned job number in the machine interface, with no modifications needed.

ENGINEERING

AN ENGINEERING COMPANY MANUFACTURING TRANSFORMERS

Virginia Transformer began in the mining industry of Virginia and West Virginia, providing units for coal mines that needed low-profile, rugged construction for underground coal mines.

The next challenge came in supporting rectifier transformer requirements for a drive system manufacturer in Virginia. These started from a 6-pulse SCR VFD, and grew over the years to VFD and then up to 36-pulse units. Today we lead this technology. We have successfully produced designs for 30,000 HP and 36-pulse power conversion for large compressors used in LNG liquefaction.

In recent years, Virginia Transformer has integrated the use of computer-aided design programs such as Maxwell, Volna, Seitlinger, and Ansys. They are used for mechanical stress and temperature analysis, creating a failsafe, and durable design. The design and analysis processes are bridged with software to provide speed and accuracy.

With these programs and technical talent, we have developed a design to offer a 20 dB noise level. Perfecting the insulation systems and shop processes combined with our patented life-monitoring system offers a 60-year life for your transformer versus our competitors.

Virginia Transformer can design high-impedance units to provide lower stray losses and lower short-circuit current limitations by up to 20 percent. The use of nonferrous material and hardware is practiced with the knowledge of material properties to achieve lower eddy and stray losses when needed. Winding can be designed by choosing the proper conductor geometry cross-section to yield a stray factor of 10 percent. Using proven experience, we can provide extremely efficient designs with very low no-load and load losses.

Virginia Transformer uses automation such as 3D CAD designs and tank welding to manufacture our tanks. This automated process also drives plasma cutters and robotic welding machines used in tank manufacturing. These tools allow us to create a tank that is free of leaks with the highest-quality welds available.

Virginia Transformer takes pride in our highly trained and senior engineers with extensive experience in transformers up to 500 kV, 1,400 MVA range. We currently have more than 500 engineers and designers with BS, MS, and PhD degrees in mechanical, industrial, and electrical engineering. Many of our engineers have over 30 years of experience in their related fields. All six plants have dedicated design teams of electrical, mechanical, and control engineers. All plants are supported by a corporate design team that harmonizes the engineering practices and technical continuity throughout the company. The engineering team members are a vital part of the plant design team and provide integrated solutions for production issues and quick resolutions of any concerns to ensure maximum efficiency.

All of the plants are connected through modern audio, video, and data links. Regular inter-plant discussions and meetings are held to disseminating knowledge among each facility.

The ability to design power transformers that have a lifespan of 60 years directly depends on the expertise of our design engineers. At Virginia Transformer’s GTC location, we have the skills and the engineers to further increase our design experience.

Our investment in our engineering department allows us to produce top-quality, long-lasting transformers. Our engineering design process is a methodical series of steps used in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative; parts often need to be repeated many times before the production phase can be entered, though the parts that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project can be highly variable.

We are improving electrical and mechanical design processes by incorporating design automation, which will not only reduce design cycle time but reduce human errors. In addition to the traditional design tools typical for transformer design, we also use validation tools such as Seitlinger, Coulomb, Anderson, and Volna.

Engineering analysis of transformer design in general requires a certain skill set that is based on years of experience within the industry — and we have that experience! GTC’s engineering organization consists of a large group of full-time engineers.

ELECTRICAL DESIGN TEAM

A team of seven professional engineers and designers. Key members are active at the IEEE organization. The Electrical Design team’s core competencies are detailed high-voltage design analysis and failure rate analysis, which are contributors to the reliability of our electrical designs in general.

MECHANICAL DESIGN TEAM

A team of fifteen professional engineers and designers. Key members are active at the IEEE organization.

MANUFACTURING

Our value proposition is to provide the most reliable transformer that is shipped and installed in a timely and flawless manner to the site and monitored and serviced to last for more than 60 years.

A reliable transformer requires a robust design and flawless execution based on our manufacturing pyramid: At the core are people, supported by modern equipment, factories, a proven process, flawless shipping, and installation.

Professional oversight and receiving tools and materials promptly allow our trained and certified technicians to perform at their best. Our technicians are essential and their training must be continuous and up-to-date. Experienced supervisors are continuously overseeing and analyzing the finished work as well as the process from start to finish to make sure everything makes sense and fits together. Without tools and materials, nothing will move forward; therefore, a team within VTC ensures that the process doesn’t stop as a result of tools and materials not showing up on time.

Many steps in the assembly have checks and balances built in to minimize errors. We have narrowed these steps down to 11 major hold points (HP), where production will not move forward without approvals. There are two major control points where the team leader will analyze and review the finished work from different angles. A traveling binder will document all the inspection work for any kind of root cause to be analyzed for later use.

We use a three-pronged approach for flawless shipping. Our shipping expert visualizes the journey of the unit through various highways and bridges. The shipping preparation and packing are very secure, with the unit monitored through GPS throughout the journey. Our shipping team assesses the transformer upon arrival, making sure all the parts are accounted for and instructions are in place. We have our own service and installation crew with oil rigs and other test equipment. This attention to every detail during the shipping and installation process is an example of how we put our value proposition to work.
