MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) has successfully energized its newly acquired 33 MVA power transformer in the Iloilo city substation.
This replaced the over 30-year-old transformer of the previous distribution utility that broke down in January of this year.
The Philippine utility was able to acquire the slightly used transformer from a major electric distribution utility in Luzon. The said transformer was manufactured by Fortune Hitachi of Taiwan.
The bigger and modern 33 MVA transformer was acquired to meet the growing power demand of the City Proper district.
MORE Power tapped MIESCOR, a subsidiary of Meralco, for the commissioning of the said new transformer.
