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:
An earthing transformer provides a neutral grounding path for three-phase systems that do not have one, protecting the system from damaging over-voltages and faults and improving overall grid safety and reliability.
It offers a path for fault current during a line-to-ground fault, limits the build-up of static charges and helps stabilise voltage. Designs include Zig-Zag, Wye-Delta and Wye-Wye to suit the application.
Features:
1. Strong safety features and dependable earth-fault performance.
2. Designed to withstand short-circuit conditions and carry fault current.
3. High mechanical strength, thermal resistance and excellent insulation.
4. Compact, durable and easily maintainable.
Advantages:
1. Provides a secure grounding point, reducing the risk of faults and over-voltages.
2. Improves the dependability and safety of power systems.
3. High thermal capacity and long service life for cost-effectiveness.
Applications in Kenya:
● Neutral grounding for ungrounded three-phase systems
● Wind and solar farm system protection
● Substation and distribution network earthing
● Integration with Neutral Grounding Resistors / Reactors (NGR)
● Station-service grounding with auxiliary winding
Why Earthing 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 earthing 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.
