This project represents a key contribution to Finland’s energy transition, supporting the integration of a high-capacity electric boiler (E-boiler) into the national grid. It reflects Protrafo’s commitment to delivering reliable transformer solutions for innovative, sustainable energy applications.
The 16 MVA oil-filled power transformer was custom-designed to handle variable load conditions and ensure optimal performance under the dynamic demands of E-boiler operation. Equipped with ONAN cooling, the unit was manufactured and tested according to the latest IEC standards, and delivered with complete project documentation.
Through this delivery, Protrafo enables long-term operational stability, energy efficiency, and full compliance with ECODESIGN Tier 2 regulations. Our involvement included coordination of logistics, support during installation and commissioning, and ongoing technical assistance—ensuring peace of mind for the client and a robust solution for the Finnish grid.
From the initial technical consultation to final commissioning, Protrafo provides full project management to ensure smooth execution and timely delivery. Our team coordinates all phases—from design review and production planning to logistics, on-site installation, and testing. By maintaining close communication with all stakeholders, we ensure that every step aligns with the project timeline, technical requirements, and site-specific conditions. This integrated approach minimizes risks, reduces downtime, and guarantees a successful transformer deployment.
Built to perform under continuous high power demand in transmission and industrial grids, with superior thermal and mechanical stability.
Designed for stable voltage regulation and efficient energy transfer in complex network environments, including peak load situations.
Engineered specifically for large-scale electric boiler integration, enabling clean, fossil-free heat generation with high efficiency and grid stability—supporting the transition to sustainable district heating.
Tested under full load conditions and compliant with the latest EU efficiency standards—ensuring minimal losses and maximum reliability.
Yes, we provide on-site coordination and, if required, technical assistance to ensure a smooth installation process.
Power transformers operate at higher voltages and are optimized for maximum efficiency under full load, typically used in transmission networks. Distribution transformers work at lower voltages and are designed for variable loads closer to end users.
A power transformer is an electrical device used to transfer high-voltage electrical energy between circuits, typically within power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. It adjusts voltage levels to ensure efficient long-distance power transmission and safe delivery to end users. Power transformers are essential in maintaining grid stability and energy efficiency.
We use specialized heavy-load carriers to ensure safe and stable transport. Depending on the transformer size and weight, we arrange road, sea, or multimodal transport.
Every transformer is professionally packaged and secured according to industry standards. We work with experienced logistics partners to minimize risks during transport.
