 United Kingdom, West Yorkshire: Winder Power, Pudsey-based manufacturer of power and distribution transformers has recently completed a project with e.on Energy UK for the manufacturing and installation of a 50 MVA generator transformer for the company’s Brunner Mond soda ash works in Winnington. 

For the purpose of this project Winder Power manufactured a 55-ton generator transformer, which was built to exactly replicate the critical dimensions of the existing unit, and also undertook the delivery and on-site assembly of the new unit.

The manufactured equipment is one of the country’s largest primary generator transformers, according to the company.

The e.on Energy combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Northwich Cheshire is one of the largest such schemes in the UK, supplying up to 500 tons of steam every hour and generating 130 MW of electricity to the two Brunner Mond soda ash works, at Winnington and Lostock.
