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

The DC divider was successfully charged and put into service during the Ballia HVDC substation shutdown.

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.

"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."

Klovertel is a New Delhi-based privately held manufacturer of equipment and customized solutions for the Power, Rail, and Telecommunications industries.

PFIFFNER International is a family-owned group of companies with headquarters in Switzerland. The company provides technology solutions in the electrical power and rolling stock industry.
