Arteche and ennomotive join forces to reinvent measurement transformers through sustainable and innovative proposals

Arteche, a global manufacturer of equipment for the electrical sector with a presence in more than 127 countries, in collaboration with ennomotive, a renowned engineering innovation platform, has launched an international technological challenge to improve the sustainability of instrument transformers by reducing or replacing free insulating oil.Arteche's measuring transformers, widely used in electrical networks around the world, use an insulation system based on paper impregnated with dielectric oil, a technically efficient solution with decades of proven reliability. However, this technology presents an environmental challenge: to achieve the correct impregnation of the insulating paper during the manufacturing process, an additional volume of oil is required, which remains “free” in the equipment.This free oil, although necessary in the current process, does not perform a direct insulating function once the transformer is in service, representing an opportunity for improvement in terms of both sustainability and resource efficiency.More infoIn search of innovative solutionsThrough this joint initiative, Arteche and ennomotive invite experts from around the world to propose innovative solutions that significantly reduce or eliminate free oil in transformers, maintain or improve electrical performance and insulation capacity, minimize changes to current production processes, and offer technical and economic viability for industrial implementation.Proposals may include new insulating materials, alternative technologies, or modifications to manufacturing processes that enable these objectives to be achieved.An open call for global...
