International Technical Conference and Testing in India

On May 22, 2019, Izolyator held an international technical conference and a type test of 420 kV / 3000 A high voltage bushings in Bangalore, India.

Integration processes in the global power industry today allow building close cooperation in the scientific and technical field, promote the introduction of new technologies in electrical equipment production, and contribute to ensuring innovative development and reliable operation of national power grids in different countries.

Izolyator is a leading global supplier of high-voltage bushings of virtually all voltage classes. The trust of partners around the world is deserved by reliable quality, professionalism and comprehensive service support. Strengthening partnerships with power grid and generating companies, as well as with transformer plants in Europe and Asia is one of the most important goals for Izolyator.

It is particularly necessary to note the building of a productive dialogue and the development of cooperation with Asian electric grid companies, as well as with the leading manufacturers of transformer and reactor equipment in this region.

Over recent years, Izolyator has made a number of large shipments of high-voltage bushings to key power facilities of the Indian state electric grid company Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PowerGrid). Already today, several thousand high-voltage bushings of various voltage classes produced by the Izolyator plant reliably operation at power grid facilities in almost all states of India.

In 2018, Izolyator won the first PowerGrid tender to supply a trial batch of high-voltage bushings with solid internal RIP insulation 420 kV / 3000 A and 800 kV / 2000 A.

Accumulating more than 120 years of successful experience in the production of high-voltage bushings, our company openly demonstrates the technical advantages of Izolyator products to all partners. On the basis of the Indian Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) — the generally recognized world leader in electrical and specialized testing of electric power products, Izolyator arranged a complete scope of standard tests of high-voltage bushings for high and ultra-high voltage classes. Also, in Bangalore, India, the company held an International Technical Conference on Russian-Indian cooperation in electric power industry.

In order to confirm our transparency and readiness for the dialogue, consumers of high-voltage equipment were invited to participate in those events - power grid and industrial companies from Europe, Russia, Asia and the Middle East.

The agreement establishes the principles of building of the production of a site in India and establishing of full supply and sales chain of high-voltage bushings of various voltage classes with modern solid RIP insulation. The core part, as well as the know-how of the joint venture will be the internal RIP-insulation — a proprietary development of the Izolyator plant. It must be noted that this is the first experience of Russian enterprises in creating a joint venture for the production of high-voltage electrical power equipment with Indian companies.

The conference contributed to the all-round development of business contacts and the formation of proposals for expanding cooperation between Russian and leading world electrical companies as well as major energy companies.

Testing of high and ultra-high voltage Izolyator bushings in India became the most important practical step for further development of international cooperation in electric power industry
