OEM Custom Manufacturing Range
Our engineering capabilities encompass a broad portfolio of custom transformer solutions tailored to harsh operational environments:
- Industrial Power Transformers: Up to 10 MVA, 33kV class designed for substation distribution and heavy manufacturing grids with low loss guarantees.
- Electric Distribution Transformers: Energy-efficient 11kV & 33kV pole-mounted and pad-mounted transformers built to IS 1180 and IEC standards.
- Dry Type Cast Resin (CRT) Transformers: VPI and Cast Resin dry transformers designed for high-rise buildings, data centers, underground infrastructure, and fire-sensitive indoor installations.
- Solar Inverter Duty Transformers: Multi-winding (3-winding / 4-winding) step-up transformers optimized to handle high harmonic contents from solar PV inverters.
- Metallurgical Furnace Transformers: Reinforced mechanical construction engineered to withstand extreme electrical and thermal stress during electric arc and induction furnace cycles.
- Scott Connected Transformers: Custom 3-phase to 2-phase conversion units for specialized industrial loads and railway traction applications.
- Compact Substations (CSS): Fully packaged outdoor substations integrating MV switchgear, transformer, and LV distribution panels in a robust enclosure.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) & Global Compliance
Quality and operational safety are paramount. Every transformer manufactured by Sahara Transformers undergoes stringent quality control procedures, including routine and type testing at our dedicated high-voltage testing facility before dispatch:
- Routine Testing: Winding resistance, voltage ratio, phase displacement, no-load loss and current, load loss and impedance, insulation resistance (IR), separate source voltage withstand, and induced overvoltage testing.
- Type & Special Tests: Lightning impulse voltage test, temperature rise test, noise level test, short circuit withstand test capability, and Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA).
- Third-Party Inspection Support: We welcome third-party inspection agencies including SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), TUV, and Intertek for factory audits and FAT witnessing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Overseas Buyers
What is the typical lead time for custom export orders?
Standard distribution transformers are typically manufactured within 3 to 4 weeks. Specialized power, furnace, or multi-winding solar transformers take between 6 to 8 weeks depending on engineering complexity and raw material availability.
How are transformers packaged for international sea freight?
All units are vacuum-sealed, treated with anti-corrosion protection, and secured in heat-treated, fumigated ISPM-15 compliant wooden crates suitable for break-bulk or containerized (20ft/40ft Open Top / Flat Rack) ocean shipping.
What warranty terms do you provide?
Sahara Transformers provides a standard 18 to 24-month comprehensive manufacturer warranty from the date of dispatch, backed by full technical support and spare parts availability.
