Tanaka Electric
As Russia embarks on a massive modernization of its national power grid under the "Energy Strategy of Russia up to 2035," the demand for high-precision instrument transformers has reached an all-time high. The transition from traditional Soviet-era infrastructure to smart, digital substations requires components that are not only technologically advanced but also capable of withstanding the unique geographical and climatic challenges of the region.
Russia's industrial backbone—spanning from the metallurgical hubs in the Urals to the oil and gas fields of Siberia—relies heavily on the accuracy of current (CT) and potential transformers (PT). These devices are the "eyes and ears" of the grid, ensuring that protection systems function correctly and that energy billing remains precise despite the harsh environment.
Unlike standard global models, instrument transformers for the Russian market must operate flawlessly at temperatures as low as -60°C. Our epoxy resin and oil-immersed transformers are specifically engineered with specialized insulation materials to prevent cracking and ensure dielectric strength in extreme sub-zero conditions, meeting the stringent GOST-R performance standards.
The Russian power sector is currently undergoing a shift toward the IEC 61850 protocol, which defines communication protocols for intelligent electronic devices at electrical substations. This has spurred a demand for "Digital Transformers" that can integrate seamlessly with SCADA systems and cloud-based monitoring platforms.
At Zhejiang Tanaka Electric Co., Ltd., we recognize the importance of localization. While we serve as a premier exporter to Russia, our products are designed to be "plug-and-play" with Russian switchgear manufactured by local giants. Our Schneider Ei Type Amorphous Alloy Transformers and Outdoor Metering Boxes are particularly popular in the Moscow and St. Petersburg urban grid expansion projects due to their high efficiency and low loss profiles.
Zhejiang Tanaka Electric Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the production, research and development, and sales of transformers and related products. With a registered capital of 110 million RMB, we have established ourselves as a leader in power distribution solutions. Our technical team, consisting of 15 senior engineers and over 47 specialized technicians, ensures that every piece of equipment leaving our facility is a masterpiece of electrical engineering.
We have obtained 18 patents, focusing on reducing partial discharge and increasing the thermal stability of our instrument transformers—critical features for the high-demand Russian industrial sector. Our "Zero Defect" philosophy is integrated into every step, from raw material procurement to final delivery.
