WEG Transformers Africa (WTA), a division of Zest WEG Manufacturing, continues to grow its share in both the South African and African transformer markets. Louis Meiring, CEO of Zest WEG Group Africa, says the acquisition last year of TSS Transformers facilitated immediate access to additional facilities, as well as best-in-class technical skills. “Upskilling ourselves in this critical market sector and increasing our local manufacturing base is a strategic move that will see greater involvement from Zest WEG in this industry,” he adds. “Zest WEG Group is owned by Brazil-based WEG and this significant investment in local manufacturing highlights WEG’s financial commitment to its local operations.”
WTA Wadeville produces standard distribution, power and special application transformers ranging from 50 kVA to 10 MVA in voltages up to 66 kV, with off-load tap switch or on-load tap-changers. Known for its responsiveness to customer-specific needs, the facility also has the engineering expertise and capability to manufacture special transformers for mining, industrial, rectifier/traction, converter and thyristor drive applications. WTA also manufactures a range of mini substations. Where applicable, the transformers carry SABS certification.
The modern Heidelberg facility boasts an impressive 45 000 m² footprint. It is capable of locally manufacturing power transformers up to 40 MVA in voltages up to 132 kV as well as mini substations and moulded circuit breakers. It also houses what is considered to be the best privately operated oil sampling laboratory in South Africa. This is a crucial differentiator in the market as it gives customers access to skilled technicians who analyse samples on state-of-the-art equipment to world class standards.
