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 reactor transformer, also known as a power reactor or line reactor, provides controlled electrical reactance to limit and regulate current flow in power systems and industrial applications. It limits fault currents, controls voltage fluctuations and protects equipment from voltage spikes.
Reactor transformers also filter the harmonics generated by non-linear loads such as UPS systems and variable speed drives, and are used to limit short-circuit currents.
Features:
1. Compact, robust construction for efficient space use and durability.
2. Advanced cooling systems for optimal operating temperatures.
3. High-grade steel cores and quality insulation for efficiency and long life.
4. Reliable, uninterrupted performance under load.
Advantages:
1. Regulates voltage and protects equipment from fluctuations.
2. Reduces harmonics and improves overall power quality.
3. Improves energy efficiency and lowers operating costs.
Applications in Kenya:
● Short-circuit and fault-current limiting
● Harmonic filtering for non-linear loads
● VFD line and load reactor protection
● Shunt reactors for transmission voltage control
● Detuned reactors for power-factor correction banks
Why Reactor 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 reactor 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.
