Logistics and network
Supplying Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Deliveries across Andaman and Nicobar Islands start at about 3210 km by road, which puts the nearer cities (Port Blair) within 11 days of dispatch. The state's demand centres on Port Blair, island diesel and solar grids, shipping.
Distribution in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is handled by Electricity Department, Andaman and Nicobar; Electricity Department runs the transmission network. Programmes now in execution include Island solar and submarine cable programmes, and each is tendered against a technical specification that we quote and manufacture to.
The product
A solar transformer is not a distribution transformer with a different label.
An inverter feeds the transformer a non-sinusoidal current with significant harmonic content, and it does so on a duty cycle that is de-energised for roughly half the year. Both facts change the design.
Harmonic currents drive eddy-current heating in the windings that a standard design does not allow for, so conductors are transposed and the core flux density is de-rated to leave headroom. The overnight de-energised period means no-load loss dominates lifetime energy cost far more than it does on a distribution feeder — which is why the low-no-load-loss design is worth paying for here and not always elsewhere.
