Tata Power today said it has partnered with Cargill and Schneider Electric to provide two 25 MVA natural filled transformers which have been recently installed in the metropolis.
Under the partnership, Cargill will provide its Environtemp FR3 fluid (natural ester) which will help in extending the life and loading capacity of Schneider's transformer with a smaller footprint as well as reduce the risk of fire in electrical installation.
"Use of natural ester in transformers sets a new industry paradigm for the power sector across the country. Cargill's Envirotemp FR3 fluid (natural ester) and Schneider Electric's transfomers will reduce risk of fire in the electrical installation," the company said in a statement.

In comparison to the conventional mineral oil filled transformers, this fluid provides improved fire safety for the densely populated areas within Tata Power's service area, it added.
"We will continue to implement technological innovations such as green transformer. We plan to refine the design to further decrease the footprint and improve performance.
This could change the landscape of the power industry in India and create a new paradigm that can be adopted successfully anywhere in the world," its Executive Director and COO Ashok Sethi said.
