Urja Techniques (India) Pvt Ltd is a leading transformer manufacturer based in India, supplying a wide range of high quality transformers - including converter duty, power, distribution, furnace, earthing and dry type transformers - to clients across Kenya. With a focus on energy efficiency and dependable after-sales support, we serve buyers in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and Thika.
Product Introduction:
Cast Resin Dry Type (CRT) transformers encase the windings in high-grade epoxy resin, giving exceptional insulation, durability and low fire risk. They are ideal for safety-critical indoor environments such as high-rise buildings, hospitals, malls and airports.
Being dry-type, they use natural or forced air cooling instead of oil. The windings are vacuum-cast in epoxy resin, creating a solid, robust, well-insulated and self-extinguishing unit.
Features:
1. Copper or aluminium windings insulated with epoxy resin.
2. Air-cooled with excellent heat dissipation.
3. Low fire risk with no flammable coolant.
4. Low maintenance and no coolant-leak checks.
5. Environmentally friendly with no oil-contamination risk.
Advantages:
1. Self-extinguishing and fire-retardant for occupied buildings.
2. Non-hygroscopic - does not absorb moisture even after long shutdowns.
3. High mechanical strength to resist short-circuit forces.
4. Meets F1 (fire), E2 (environment) and C2 (climatic) class standards.
Applications in Kenya:
● High-rise buildings, hospitals and shopping malls
● Airports, metros and underground stations
● Data centres and commercial complexes
● Renewable energy and industrial plants
● Environmentally sensitive indoor installations
Why Cast Resin Dry Type Transformers are in Demand in Kenya
Kenya Vision 2030, the Last Mile Connectivity and rural electrification programmes (REREC), Olkaria geothermal expansion, Lake Turkana Wind Power and the Garissa Solar plant are expanding the KenGen and Kenya Power grid across the country. Each project needs reliable transformers engineered for local conditions. Note that the Kenya grid operates at 50 Hz, so our units are custom designed for 50 Hz or 60 Hz operation to match local utility and project specifications.
Supply & Logistics Across Kenya
We export cast resin dry type transformers from India to all major Kenyan industrial and port regions. Consignments are shipped through the Port of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean and the new Port of Lamu on the LAPSSET corridor. From there we serve the Nairobi Industrial Area, Athi River and the Export Processing Zones, Thika, the Naivasha Special Economic Zone and Konza Technopolis, covering the geothermal and renewable power, manufacturing, agro-processing, mining, cement and real estate sectors.
