Transformer refurbishment benefits port terminal

摘要

Medium to low voltage transformers are the final, crucial link, in transmitting power from the National Grid to the functional equipment. The impact of a transformer failure on a business can be very significant. Redcar Port, owned and managed by Redcar Bulk Terminal (RBT), is situated on the South bank of the River Tees and handles a wide range of bulk cargoes. It is the deepest port on the East coast of the UK and operates 24/7 all year round, with equipment capable of unloading in excess of 44,000 tons in a working day. As such it has a significant reliance on electrical power in order to maintain efficient operation.
