Earthquake-proof Transformer
Increasing Frequency & Magnitude of Earthquakes
The surging frequency and escalating magnitude of global earthquakes present an ever-growing risk to infrastructure and public safety. Recent catastrophic events underscore the pressing demand for advanced safety measures against earthquakes.

Seismic Design Essential Equipment
In the event of a strong earthquake, non-structural damage to elements like ceilings, walls, electricity, machinery, and communication facilities can occur at more than triple the rate. Transformers play a vital role in power supply and are considered essential for building electrical installations that adhere to seismic design standards. Damage to these transformers can lead to critical secondary issues, including power outages and fires.
