[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Subbiano Arezzo, Italy, November 2019 \u2013<\/span>\u00a0Tesar has been awarded a new contract three consecutive times from EDP Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o, the main Portuguese Distribution System Operator (DSO). Tesar has and will supply more than 10,000 instrument transformers<\/a> in the time frame from 2017 to 2021 with its local partner ISO-SIGMA.<\/p>\n

The Italian transformer manufacturer Tesar<\/a> has been fully approved and qualified at EDP Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o<\/a> for instrument transformers since 2010 and has already supplied thousands of metering transformer units according to the customer specifications divided among 44 possible configurations.<\/p>\n

Some specifications about the project:
\n\u2022 Over 10,000 instrument transformers
\n\u2022 Current and voltage transformers
\n\u2022 Indoor installation
\n\u2022 Last delivery in 2021<\/p>\n

In 2013 after the latest issuing of the new EDP Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o specifications, Tesar was requested to re-validate its approval. The pre-qualification started in 2016 and was achieved in 2018. The final qualification was successfully passed by Tesar in January 2019.<\/p>\n

According to the specifications of EDP Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o, which are supported by the International Electrotechnical Commission (e.g IEC61869), the instrument transformers needed to perform some special tests, including a short-circuit capability withstand test on current transformers for 3 seconds. The required tests were successfully performed at the CESI laboratory in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n

We would like to take the opportunity to express our satisfaction with the manufacturer of measurement transformers, highlighting the proactive approach in the customer\/supplier relationship.<\/p>\n
