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:
Dry Vacuum Pressure Impregnated (VPI) transformers undergo a vacuum resin-impregnation process that deeply penetrates the winding insulation, creating a moisture-proof, void-free seal. They are used in power distribution, industrial processes and renewable energy systems.
Built from high-grade copper and silicon steel with VPI technology, these transformers are durable, efficient and reliable, with exceptional mechanical strength and resistance to high-frequency vibration.
Features:
1. High-grade copper windings for excellent conductivity.
2. Silicon-steel cores that minimise energy losses.
3. Vacuum pressure impregnation for a moisture-resistant, long-life unit.
4. Compact, high power density for space efficiency.
Advantages:
1. Moisture-free insulation improves reliability and lifespan.
2. Energy efficient with cost savings over time.
3. Compact design for easy installation in tight spaces.
4. Minimal maintenance and fire-resistant, oil-free operation.
Applications in Kenya:
● Variable speed drive and VFD isolation duty
● Mining equipment and marine vessels
● Commercial high-rise and indoor distribution
● High-temperature and harmonic-heavy environments
● Renewable energy and industrial plants
Why VPI 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 vpi 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.
Technical Specifications & Industry Nomenclature
Commonly a VPI dry-type transformer or varnish impregnated transformer, classified as a non-encapsulated dry transformer for better repairability and lighter weight, used as a VFD isolation or traction transformer and cooled as an AN (Air Natural) unit.
● Type : VPI dry, air-cooled (AN / AF)
