CUSTOM BUILT TRANSFORMERS FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY

Mining is a vital industry that relies heavily on dependable power infrastructure. Mining operations are contingent upon a steady supply of energy to extract and utilize natural resources, such as aggregates, precious metals, iron ore, and coal. The machinery used in this process requires a substantial amount of reliable power.

Transformers play a central role in mining, facilitating the conversion of distribution power into operations at the load center. Given the transformer’s significance in this industry, each unit must meet many requirements in safety, reliability, and efficiency, with load losses kept to a minimum. Virginia Transformer Corporation takes pride in its commitment to designing the most efficient transformers in the industry, aimed at reducing losses and costs while maximizing reliability and performance.

Mining operations take place in harsh environments surrounded by dust, dirt, chemicals, moisture, and airborne contaminants. These conditions can negatively affect the internal functionality of the transformer, which underscores the necessity of robust external safeguards. Virginia Transformer offers systems designed to protect each unit based on its unique environment.

WHAT WE OFFER

POWER TRANSFORMERS

Transformers have diverse applications within the mining industry, requiring the use of both liquid-filled and dry-type units. Liquid-filled units have a greater overload capacity, are better at reducing hot-spot coil temperatures, and have lower losses due to their thermal dissipation. These units are preferred for lower ratings in indoor settings. Dry types are traditionally sealed or enclosed with louvers. These units use almost no flammable materials and do not present a fire hazard when used in mines. Virginia Transformer offers both liquid-filled and dry-type transformers from 300 kVA to 300 MVA, TENV (Totally Enclosed, Non-Ventilated) drytype transformers, and dry-type units for indoor application up to 5000 kV. Backed by advanced engineering and refined manufacturing processes, Virginia Transformer is renowned for delivering reliable and enduring units that are custom built to client specifications.
