It is equipped with an on-load tap changer on the high-voltage side, offering ±11 positions. This feature allows for voltage adjustments without interrupting the service.

Designed specifically for a solar park located in the Antofagasta region in northern Chile, the transformer achieves a high energy efficiency of 99.6%.

This new high-power transformer adds to a series of similar units recently manufactured by RHONA in Chile. It reflects a growing trend towards producing larger units for voltage transformation and energy transfer to the electrical system of renewable energy generation projects across the country.
