CBI-electric made the decision last year to enter the medium voltage metal-clad switchgear as well as the transformer markets in South Africa. Subsequent to the decision, the company has signed supply agreements with some of the top manufacturers in the world. Transformer partner, JSHP, is the largest manufacturer of distribution and power transformers in China with an output of more than 65 GVA per annum. Currently the biggest unit JSHP has supplied in the local market is a 200 MVA, 132/33 kV transformer for a smelter project. Orders have also been received from numerous municipalities with the most notable being for two 40 MVA – 132/11 kV units with on-line tap changers for a new substation project.
“We have been doing exceptionally well, mainly because of our delivery lead-times of less than six months on most of the contracts,” Rudi Coetzee, the executive in charge of CBI-electric: medium voltage indicated. He also stated that CBI-electric will continue to offer the support and customer service that clients have become accustomed to over the past 60 years.
