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:
A furnace transformer supplies power to electric arc furnaces used in steel production and metal refining. It steps high-voltage grid electricity down to the high-current, low-voltage levels required by the furnace.
Built for the frequent short circuits and rapid load fluctuations of metal melting, furnace transformers use robust construction and heavy insulation to withstand high temperatures, vibration and electrical disturbances.
Features:
1. Robust construction for extreme temperatures, heavy loads and harsh conditions.
2. Efficient power distribution with low energy losses.
3. Advanced cooling to maintain optimal temperatures.
4. Compliance with stringent safety standards for personnel and equipment.
Advantages:
1. Withstands the dead short-circuits and load swings of melting cycles.
2. High secondary currents delivered with voltage stability.
3. Long service life in demanding foundry environments.
Applications in Kenya:
● Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) duty in steel plants
● Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF) applications
● Induction furnace melting for foundries
● Submerged Arc Furnace (SAF) ferroalloy production
● Rectifier duty furnace and electrolysis processes
Why Furnace 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 furnace 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.
