Crompton Greaves, on June 11, dispatched
India's first 765kV, 80MVAr single phase
reactor to Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd
for its Gaya substation in Uttar Pradesh. The
ultra high voltage (UHV) reactor was flagged
off by Laurent Demortier, CEO and Managing
Director, CG. With this, CG has achieved
another milestone in the UHV transmission
domain. In the recent past, the company has
successfully manufactured and dispatched a
765kV generator transformer and
interconnecting transformers. This project
was of strategic importance for the company's
entry into the UHV market. The order was
despatched ahead of its scheduled delivery in
July 2012. With an installed base of over 120
million kVA in transformers, Crompton
Greaves has emerged as India's largest
supplier of a wide range of transformers and
reactors for all critical applications, a CG
release noted.
