The FAT, complete with all routine, type and special tests, of the first Tironi supergrid transformer for the Scottish transmission network has been successfully completed.

The unit, a 360MVA 275/132/33kV with separate cooler bank, is the prototype of a first series of three identical power transformers that will be installed within the first half of 2025.

The transformer was then dismantled and shipped in record time so that it could be loaded onto a ship to the United Kingdom without incurring the closures of the next Christmas period.
