Retrofitting
We are able to provide a total solution from initial appraisal and Tapchanger selection/design through to commissioning and the environmentally friendly removal and disposal of redundant equipment.
Many of our customers are recognising that retrofitting a new tapchanger can be a far more cost-effective solution than replacing the whole transformer.
