Project: 1500 kVA Transformer Upgrade

Powering the Big Screen: A Safe & Efficient Upgrade
For the film industry, reliable power isn't just a utility... it's the backbone of production. We recently supplied a custom-designed 1500 kVA, 25 kV–600Y/347 V dry-type transformer for a movie studio in the Lower Mainland, replacing an aging liquid-filled unit.
The newly installed dry-type unit, ready for commissioning.
Why the Upgrade?
This project wasn't just about replacing old metal; it was a strategic upgrade for safety and sustainability. By switching to a dry-type design, we addressed immediate environmental concerns:
- Removed the risk of oil leaks and soil contamination.
- Eliminated the handling of hazardous fluids.
- Improved overall system reliability and efficiency.
The Beaver Advantage: The Beaver team managed the entire scope of work, including engineering design, supply, removal of the old unit, safe disposal of the liquid-filled transformer, installation, and final commissioning.
