Logistics and network
Supplying Ladakh.
Deliveries across Ladakh start at about 770 km by road, which puts the nearer cities (Leh) within 4 days of dispatch. The state's demand centres on Leh and Kargil, defence establishments, renewable park at Pang.
Distribution in Ladakh is handled by Ladakh Power Development Department; Ladakh Power Development Department runs the transmission network. Programmes now in execution include Ladakh 13 GW renewable project, grid connectivity works, 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.

Specifying
What changes for Ladakh.
- Design ambient 35 °C, high altitude cold; seismic classification Zone IV for structures and foundations.
- Inland exposure: standard epoxy-polyurethane exterior finish and hot-dip galvanized steel parts.
- Temperature rise 45 K winding and 40 K top oil over the stated ambient, or 55 K / 50 K where Ladakh Power Development Department specifications allow; losses, impedance and tapping to the utility schedule or IS 1180 level.
