Tata Power introduces natural ester filled distribution transformers in Mumbai.

Tata Power has introduced natural ester filled distribution transformers in Mumbai. The objective of introducing these green and fire safe installations is to ensure safe and sustainable distribution of electricity.

Tata Power has been able to develop the first green and fire safe installation of its kind with active participation from various original equipment manufacturers like ABB, Scheinder, Raychem RPG and Cargill.

The company supplies power to over 500,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in Mumbai.

Natural ester fluids have a high fire point (350 degree Celsius) and eliminate any risk of pool fires in electrical installation as they are self extinguishing. In comparison to the conventional mineral oil filled distribution transformers, this fluid provides improved fire safety for the densely populated areas within Tata Power's service area.

The company has decided to deploy all its package substations with natural ester filled transformers and is in advanced stage of finalising the design of the power transformers filled with natural esters.
