WEG announces the establishment of its new transformer plant in the United States. Located in Washington, state of Missouri, where the company already counts on two other factories in operation since 2017, the new manufacturing plant had investments in the range of US$17 million and will be dedicated to the production of power transformers up to 10 MVA and voltage up to 46 kV.
As stated by Carlos Diether Prinz, Managing Director of WEG T&D, the new plant is part of the Company’s strategy to expand its production capacity to supply the North American industrial market. “With this new structure, we will allow WEG to be incorporated into the transformers market called Large Step-Up/Down Pad-Mounted Transformers, Secondary Unit Sub-Station Transformers and Small Power Transformers, with a focus on industrial customers, and substantially increase our production capacity of transformers used by the traditional electric energy utilities and by the electric energy generation parks through renewable sources, such as wind and solar”, says Mr. Prinz.
Equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and modern processes and handling systems, the new manufacturing plant counts on 14,700 square meters of manufacturing facilities, on a 54,400 square meters of available area.
WEG has four other transformer plants in North America, two in the United States and two in Mexico. In terms of workforce, the company employs 1290 people in these five operations dedicated to the energy transmission and distribution segment in that region. “Our manufacturing plants are strategically located geographically, allowing us to offer a wide range of transformers up to 500 MVA – 550 kV not only for the North American market, but also for Central America”, explains Mr. Prinz.
WEG serves additional strategic Transmission and Distribution markets from seven other manufacturing plants located in Brazil, Colombia and South Africa.

A new WEG three-phase 350 MVA, 345/20kV stand-by power transformer got into operation on July 16, at the Ibiúna Substation, located in the state of São Paulo. FURNAS invested R$ 18 million (≈USD 3.5 million) in the equipment, which will integrate the DC transmission system of Itaipú.
The improvement in the substation will increase the reliability of the existing installations, allowing the continuity of the operation of all synchronous compensators, with the availability of a stand-by unit for the 4 transformers that serve these machines. A transfer route was also built to speed up handling to replace equipment that can reach 300 tons.
The project was authorized by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), with an implementation period of 36 months, but FURNAS team managed to anticipate the completion of the work by 10 months.
For the replacement of the transformer, civil works were still necessary such as street opening, drainage, grounding and shielding systems of the substation, construction of a new base for the stand-by equipment, in addition to the replacement of the transformer, which involved disassembly, removal and assembly of the equipment, generating around 50 direct jobs and 100 indirect jobs, for a period of one year.
WEG products are recognized in the market for their safety, reliability and quality they offer, in addition to standing out for their excellent competitiveness. A proof of this is the long-lasting partnership with some customers, as in the case of Furnas Centrais Elétricas S/A, which counts with several equipment and solutions provided by WEG.

Transformers insulated with vegetable oil are biodegradable and offer major benefits such as increasing the equipment lifetime and minimizing environmental impacts.
The company Power Engenharia, which is dedicated to provide engineering projects and services, just acquired a 5 / 6.25 MVA 69CST / 13.8 kV vegetable oil transformer to be installed at Bomix´s manufacturing facilities in Simão Filho, state of Bahia.
This supply is very important for us, as it an evidence of WEG´s commitment and responsibility to the environment protection.
Scheduled to be delivered in June 2021, the transformer will be used by Bomix, a company that stands out in the injected and blown packaging industrial sector. The equipment was designed with compact size to allow easier installation.
Regarded as an excellent solution, the equipment will play a very important role in the plant’s substation, operating as a step-down transformer.

Weighing 348 tons each, both transformers are manufactured at the factory in Blumenau, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil and will be incorporated into the electrical energy transmission system in the southern region of the African continent.
Benefits of these transformers include robustness, flexibility and reliability provided to the power supply system, contributing directly for the development of the local economy, in addition to being urgently needed to help minimize the current energy shortage in the region and expanding the ongoing emergency investments for the generation of complementary power supply. Regarded as the largest ever produced by WEG, these transformers feature power rating of 500,000kVA and voltage class of 400,000V.
The first unit is scheduled to ship early April of this year and the second in May, ahead of the agreed contractual terms. Transit time from the factory in Brazil to the final destination in Africa is estimated at 60 days.
In addition to holding manufacturing operations for other products in the African continent, WEG is also present locally with two transformer factories, both located near Johannesburg, South Africa, which produce and supply the local market with 145kV voltage class transformers.
“WEG strengthens its position in the local market with the on-time delivery of these 500 MVA transformers, which is necessary to minimize the shortage of power supply in the region. The entire supply which counted on the cooperation of our South African team, reinforces WEG’s commitment to the development of our employees and the interaction of competences, as well as to the development of the country” says Jan-Frederik Viljoen, Director of WEG Transformers Africa.

Another advantage was the possibility of gathering both the field and the remote expertise of our company and WEG, with full knowledge of the equipment, engineering background and technical qualification of the teams”, says José Luis Molla, Termopernambuco´s Deputy Maintenance Manager.
To ensure safe repair services, the plant has prepared suitable infrastructure to accommodate the equipment and technicians. Featuring power rating of 22MVA and weighing over 22 tons, the transformer makes part of the plant’s auxiliary system. The repaired transformer contributes to the safety and availability that the plant provides to the system. In addition, WEG is one of the few companies with expertise of supplying and instantaneously installing the commutator at load, which proves the company´s technical-industrial capacity.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Termopernambuco implemented a strict health and safety protocol, which included testing, mandatory use of masks and intensification of personal hygiene and work environments. The rules were followed accordingly by the employees of both companies preventing them from new coronavirus contamination.
Termopernambuco has generation capacity to generate up to 533 MW, from three turbines in a combined cycle system. This technology combines the operation of two gas turbines, driven by fired natural gas together with a steam turbine. The plant unit holds selling contracts of 455 MW for two distributors of the Neoenergia Group for a period of 20 years, split between Celpe, state of Pernambuco, with 390 MW for Celpe (PE) and Coelba, state of Bahia, with 65MW.
