A Cast Resin Transformer for Drax Power Station

Bowers Electricals was contacted by Drax Group in April this year to replace one of their transformers.

Their existing transformer had deteriorated with age and was overheating, causing the transformer protection to trip the circuit breaker. We supplied a 2000kVA Cast Resin Transformer to Selby Power Station.

Specifications:

2000kVA
3300/433V
Dyn 11
3 phases
50Hz
IP00
6% impedance
AN
Tier 1

Drax Group operates the largest power station in the UK, based near Selby, North Yorkshire, and generates 12% of the country’s renewable electricity. The energy firm converted its power station from using coal to generating renewable power with sustainable biomass, making Drax Power Station the single biggest renewable generator in the UK and the largest decarbonisation project in Europe.

We (Drax Group) recently purchased a 2000kVA transformer from Bowers. The process from start to finish was handled professionally and promptly. The transformer was carried out to a high standard, complying with the engineering drawings provided making the replacement achievable.
