Company: Siemens – Germany
Siemens AG is a German multinational tech company operating in the fields of technology, mobility, and services. Founded in 1847 in Berlin by the German industrialist Ernst Werner von Siemens as a telegraph construction company, it later evolved into engineering and electronics, marking significant milestones in the development of technological and industrial infrastructure worldwide. Headquartered in Munich, it has various offices and facilities in 200 countries with approximately 385,000 employees. Its commitment to sustainability is reflected in numerous initiatives, including specific projects for CO2 reduction such as Casa Siemens and zeroCO2.
The company’s Head of Global Sustainability was looking for a new efficiency solution to be tested at one of the group’s various sites and then adopted as a standard in the event of positive measured results.
The Project
The EP-X 1000A with 1250A bypass was installed just after the TR3 transformer and before the NSHV-A main switch breaker, with a Siemens 3-pole integrated 1250A circuit breaker.
The EP-X system generates energy efficiency and improves power quality for the NSHV-A and NSHV-B power lines, which draw a maximum power of approximately 339kW, with an annual energy consumption of approximately 1,710,000 kWh. The loads powered by this transformer are devices controlled by power electronics.
Given the measured results of the first installation, Siemens decided to recommend the application of the EP-X solution in a number of sites of the group, both in Germany and in rest of Europe.
