Elsewedy Electric needed a state-of-the-art shunt reactor and transformer test bed capable of testing transformers up to 500 MVA, 500 kV class and shunt reactors up to 150 MVAr. The system had to work at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, with the flexibility to perform high-frequency tests up to 200 Hz—all with maximum reliability, automation, and accuracy.
As a result of CG’s reliability in several previously technically proven solutions and wide expertise in testbenches of various kinds, Elsewedy Electric chose CG’s flexible testbed solution. A proven solution that enables customers to test more efficiently, reduce risk and rely on consistent, accurate results, even with the most challenging demands.
CG Emotron delivers a full transformer test bed solution integrating:
CG offers both manual and automatic operation for maximum flexibility. They offer a turnkey solution except for the civil beds where hands-on engineering teams supervise external consultants.
Delivering this milestone project requires close collaboration across multiple teams and stakeholders.
From the start, we engage deeply with the client and their consultants to fully understand their unique testing processes, reliability concerns, and redundancy requirements.
Engineering, service, and project management teams work as one unit, aligning expertise in design, automation, and electro-mechanical integration.
Selected vendors and automation partners contribute to building a modular, scalable system architecture.
The solution is commissioned in just a few months —minimizing downtime and accelerating the customer’s operational readiness.
CG’s expertise in transformer testing, component sizing, automation integration, and electro-mechanical engineering highlights our hands-on culture & proactive service approach.
We are committed to building trust through transparency and performance.
With this solution, the customer gained a future-ready transformer and reactor test bed designed to handle the full scope of your testing needs—from standard operations at 50/60 Hz to specialized high-frequency applications.
The system gives full automation, removing the burden of manual measurements while still allowing detailed monitoring of parameters. This means faster, safer, and more reliable testing with complete flexibility to adapt to different test conditions.
This robust, proven platform has been engineered for reliability and redundancy. By integrating advanced automation, drives, motor-generator sets, and control systems, the test bed delivers consistent performance under demanding conditions. The result is a solution that minimizes downtime, increases efficiency, and provides the confidence that every test will be performed accurately and reliably.
What sets this project apart is not only the technology, but the way it is delivered. From day one, we work closely with the customer to understand unique requirements and design a system that matches processes and future goals.
By combining our in-house expertise with strong collaboration across all partners, we ensure that the final solution was tailored, comprehensive, and ready for long-term use.
With a test bed system from CG, you are equipped with a cutting-edge, turnkey solution that enhances your testing capability, strengthens your operational efficiency, and supports your growth in a market where reliability and performance matter most.
