MGM designs and manufactures a low-profile transformer for underground mining

In this project it was necessary to fit a 2000 KVA transformer into an existing frame of a power center which is used to power the electrical equipment found deep in underground mining.

When AC Power Tech of Belle Vernon PA. searched for a reliable transformer manufacturer with the engineering competence to design a low-profile medium voltage transformer to be used in underground mining applications, they turned to MGM. Working in conjunction with the MGM team of a field representative and the Engineering team, and Bill Fragapane of Summit Power Solutions, a new MGM product was developed and manufactured in record time to meet the demanding schedules of the Underground mining market.

In this project it was necessary to fit a 2000 KVA transformer into an existing frame of a power center which is used to power the electrical equipment found deep in underground mining.

This 2000 KVA transformer (pictured below) carries the dimensions of 30″H x 63″W x 46″D. A typical 2000 KVA transformer carries the dimensions of 73″H x 71.5″W x 36″D.

The power center shows the transformer installed in the 3rd and 4th bay from the right.

This project was a big success. MGM Transformer Company can provide transformers to electrical equipment manufacturers in the world with comprehensive solutions engineered to maximize results.
