Ballia HVDC Substation

Ballia HVDC substation - 500 kV DC Voltage Divider successful installation and commissioning

Press Release - New Delhi, IN / Hirschthal, CH: May 10, 2022

KLOVERTEL Private Limited, New Delhi and PFIFFNER Instrument Transformers Ltd., Switzerland, complete successful supply of 500 kV DC Voltage Divider at the Ballia HVDC substation of Power Grid Corporation India Limited.

The two companies pulled out this astounding feat amid the COVID-19 pandemic. During the Ballia HVDC substation shutdown, the DC divider was successfully charged and put into service.

The system completed all prequalification test requirements according to IEC 61869-15 with additional requirements for nominal DC voltage up to 500 kV. As a result, it can be used to divide the primary voltage into standardised, equivalent secondary voltage for metering, measuring and protection devices required in the HVDC transmission line.

Raphael Wyder, Head of Business Unit HV-Sensors and Capacitors, PFIFFNER Instrument Transformers Ltd., Switzerland, states, "We are incredibly pleased with our second 500 kV DC Voltage Divider installation in India and the joint effort between PFIFFNER and Klovertel."

"The latest project is another step by KLOVERTEL to expand its presence in India’s burgeoning high voltage sector," said Karan Mehra, MD and CEO of KLOVERTEL. We look forward to deepening our partnership with PFIFFNER and establishing ourselves as the Indian market's first choice for high-quality, durable equipment."
