Tanaka Electric
High-performance voltage and current measurement solutions tailored for EPC Samoa substations and regional grids.
The Independent State of Samoa, under the direction of the Electric Power Corporation (EPC), is rapidly shifting its power generation from diesel toward solar PV, hydro, and wind installations. This paradigm shift creates critical challenges in voltage stability and power quality management.
For variable renewable energy (VRE) integration in substations across Upolu and Savai'i, precision monitoring is paramount. Fluctuations in solar irradiances require fast-acting, high-precision Instrument Transformers (Current and Potential Transformers) to feed precise data to SCADA control systems. Our outdoor products are explicitly engineered to address:
By supplying class-leading, dry-type, and oil-immersed configurations, we ensure that Samoan microgrids operate at maximum efficiency with reduced downtime.
Zhejiang Tanaka Quality Inspection Laboratory & Curing Equipment
How modern utilities leverage smart monitoring, low carbon footprint materials, and digital substation protocols.
Utilizing amorphous alloy cores within hybrid configurations slashes core losses by up to 70% compared to traditional silicon steel sheets, substantially improving transmission efficiency in decentralized grids.
Modern electrical infrastructure demands seamless compliance with standard protocol systems. Our measurement modules directly map output parameters to smart telemetry relays and industrial RTUs.
Outdoor components face severe tropical cyclones in the Pacific. We design full epoxy-encapsulation structures that are IP67 and IP68 water-proofed, ensuring high BIL (Basic Insulation Level) limits.

Our extensive range of current sensors, split-core designs, and high-voltage potential transformers built for demanding deployments.
Everything procurement managers and utility engineers need to know about purchasing, compliance, and custom design.
Yes. Our transformers are fully engineered to comply with AS (Australian Standards) and IEC 61869-2/3 standards, which form the base requirement of the Samoa utility grid. The units run effortlessly on the local 3-phase 50Hz transmission and distribution lines, whether rated at 11kV or up to 33kV/35kV/40.5kV lines. We provide comprehensive compliance certificates (CE, CCC, ISO9001) for all custom tender applications.
Our outdoor epoxy-resin instrument transformers are cast using specialized hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy resin (HCEP) under a CNC static vacuum curing process. This eliminates micro-cavities (air bubbles) inside the casting, preventing partial discharge issues. In addition, the hardware parts are manufactured using hot-dip galvanized steel or stainless steel 316, achieving a C5-M high corrosion resistance rating suitable for marine coastal zones.
For standard models, manufacturing is completed within 3 to 4 weeks. Custom designs containing specific ratios or dual wind parameters may require 6 weeks. We ship directly out of Ningbo or Shanghai port. Cargo is routed directly to the Port of Apia (Samoa) with shipping times ranging from 25 to 35 days depending on the ocean line schedules. We handle all export documentation, including Certificate of Origin, ensuring a smooth customs process in Apia.
Absolutely. Our split-core current transformers, such as the outdoor waterproof split-core model or the Xh-Sct series, are designed for hot-plug retrofitting. They allow installation on existing live busbars without needing to disconnect lines, reducing outages for installation in busy Samoa metropolitan and commercial sectors.
Yes. Zhejiang Tanaka Electric provides bespoke winding adjustments. We customize metering cores to 0.2s or 0.2 accuracy class for premium revenue protection metering, and protection cores to 5P10, 5P20, or 10P20 for secure grid relay logic. Simply supply your burden requirements (e.g., 10VA, 15VA, or 30VA) and primary/secondary currents (e.g., 100A/5A, 1000A/1A), and our engineering team will calculate the optimal core design.
