Two manufacturing units. One quality standard.

Unit I at Meerut is the manufacturing headquarters, with the NABL-accredited 700 kV test laboratory. Unit II at Kashipur adds dedicated production capacity, including a resin-cast line, for growing demand across India.

Unit I · Est. 1995

Meerut, Uttar Pradesh

A-9 & A-10, Udyog Puram Partapur, Near Delhi–Meerut Expressway, Meerut – 250103, Uttar Pradesh

Manufacturing headquarters with complete end-to-end production capability, in-house fabrication unit, and NABL accredited 700 kV PD-free testing laboratory. Houses winding, insulation, drying, and assembly facilities for both MV and HV instrument transformers.

Unit II · Est. 2009

Kashipur, Uttarakhand

41-42, IDEB Industrial Estate, Mahua Kheda Ganj, Kashipur – 244713, Uttarakhand

Dedicated production facility located 200 km from Delhi, expanding capacity for growing demand across India. Equipped with controlled-environment winding and insulation halls, drying autoclaves, and resin-cast manufacturing capability.

Shop-Floor Capabilities

01
Winding Halls
Dust-free halls with controlled climatic conditions. CT winding on toroidal winding machines for uniformly distributed secondary windings. PT winding on programmable layer winding machines for precise control of turns and insulation.
02
Insulation Halls
Dust-free insulation halls with controlled conditions. Paper taping via automatic tapping machines maintaining excellent control over internal and external insulation stresses through fine wrap thickness.
03
Fabrication Facility
Captive fabrication for M.S. and S.S. tanks per customer specifications, featuring grooved gasket and O-ring sealing arrangements, with dedicated shot blasting and painting shop.
04
Drying & Impregnation
Highly effective autoclaves achieving fine vacuum for drying and oil impregnation. Various stages (AH, RV, FV) monitored through Pirani gauges at regular intervals to ensure complete moisture removal.
05
Resin Cast Facility
Indoor resin-cast CT and PT manufacturing using APG process and gravity die casting under vacuum for PD-free performance in conformance to IS/IEC standards.
03  ·  Testing Infrastructure

Seven specialised testing laboratories, organised in three gated phases.

One Incoming Test Lab. Three Intermediate Test Labs. Three Final Test Labs — a gated flow of checks that follows every unit from raw material to dispatch.

Stage 01 · Incoming
1 Lab

Incoming Test Lab

Every batch of raw material is cleared here before it enters the shop floor. A dedicated oil testing facility anchors the lab, with complementary benches for paper, CRGO, conductor, and hardware checks against vendor certificates.

  • Oil Testing Lab
    BDV, Oil Tan Delta & Resistivity/PPM, IFT, and Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) on every transformer oil drum before acceptance.
  • Raw Material Bench
    CRGO silicon steel, insulation paper, copper conductor, porcelain bushings and hardware validated against purchase specifications.
Stage 02 · In-Process
3 Labs

Intermediate Test Labs

Stage-gate testing runs parallel to production. Core stacks, windings, and insulation assemblies are checked at every critical step so defects are caught early, never on a finished unit.

  • Core & Winding Lab
    Magnetisation curve, no-load loss and excitation current checked on every stacked core; turn ratio verified during secondary winding.
  • Insulation Integrity Lab
    Paper tapping, IR / PI and tan delta monitored after each insulation build-up stage through the graded bushing system.
  • Assembly & Dry-Out Lab
    Vacuum, moisture and oil impregnation monitored live through Pirani gauges across the AH, RV and FV stages in the autoclaves.
Stage 03 · Final
3 Labs

Final Test Labs

In-house capability for every routine test up to 400 kV and type / special tests per IS/IEC. The Final Testing Lab is accredited by NABL for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 — the internationally recognised standard for laboratory testing.

  • 700 kV HV & PD Lab
    Series resonant system with variable inductance and variable frequency. CTs tested at 50 Hz and PTs at 100/150 Hz directly, with capacitance, tan delta, PD and accuracy measurement.
  • 100 kV Resin-Cast PD Lab
    Dedicated series resonant PD-free lab for epoxy resin cast and oil-filled MV instrument transformers.
  • Type & Special Test Lab
    Units up to 220 kV type-tested per IS/IEC — multiple chopped impulse, seismic on all axes, temperature rise (IS/IEC) and thermal stability & temperature coefficient tests per IEEMA.
04  ·  Quality Process

End-to-end quality assurance, from raw material to dispatch.

Five gated checkpoints. Each one sequential, each one mandatory. Non-conforming material or finished units cannot advance to the next stage without documented clearance.

Step 01

Incoming Material Inspection

Every batch of CRGO steel, copper conductor, insulating paper, and transformer oil is tested against purchase specifications before acceptance. Vendor-supplied test certificates are cross-verified with in-house measurements. Non-conforming material is quarantined and returned.

Step 02

In-Process Quality Checks

Stage-gate inspections at each critical manufacturing step: core stacking, winding, insulation wrapping, and assembly. Operators use calibrated instruments and follow documented procedures. Deviations trigger hold-point reviews before work proceeds.

Step 03

Routine & Type Testing

All units undergo the full suite of routine tests per IEC 61869: power frequency withstand, partial discharge, ratio, polarity, and accuracy class verification. Type tests are performed on new designs and whenever design parameters change.

Step 04

Customer Witness Testing

Dedicated witness testing bays allow customer representatives and third-party inspectors to observe tests in real time. Test reports are generated on-site and reviewed jointly before approval. NABL-endorsed certificates accompany every shipment.

Step 05

Final Inspection & Dispatch

Completed units pass through a final checklist covering nameplate accuracy, paint finish, terminal markings, and packaging integrity. Oil-filled units are topped up and sealed under vacuum. Dispatch clearance requires sign-off from quality, production, and logistics.

Want to see our testing capabilities in person?

Customer witness testing and pre-despatch inspection are welcome at both manufacturing units. Bring your inspectors and we will run the routines on your schedule.
