"Rusatom Service" JSC delivered the equipment to the Armenian NPP

ArmInfo. JSC "Rusatom  Service", as part of the modernization and extension of the life of  the Armenian NPP, completed delivery of the second block transformer  for the power-generating unit No.2 of the ANPP. Transformers are  supplied to replace exhausted resources. They are designed to  increase the input voltage and transmit electrical energy to the  power system during operation of the turbogenerator. 

Also, transformers are needed to power the transformers of the NPP's  own needs from the power system during the shutdown of the  turbogenerator. The equipment was manufactured by ZAO  Zaporozhtransformator - the largest in the CIS and Europe enterprise  for the production of power oil transformers and electric reactors  with a production capacity of 60 thousand MVA per year.   Transportation from the manufacturer took place in several stages,  first by ground transport to the port of Chernomorsk (Ukraine) - by  sea to the port of Poti (Georgia) and from there by ground transport  to the site of the Armenian NPP. Earlier, in December, the station  had already delivered the first of two turbo-generators and a block  transformer.

In February 2015, an agreement was  signed on granting an export loan to finance the work to extend the  life of the ANPP. In June 2015, JSC "Rusatom Service" and JSC "AAEK"  signed a contract for the performance of works, supplies and services  for the extension of the life of the power unit of the 2nd nuclear  power plant.
