About us - Transformers
In business since 1879, Brush Transformers manufactures a wide range of distribution, power, dry type, traction transformers and flameproof transformers along with the ATL range of Tapchangers. We are acknowledged international pioneers in the transformer field, with our flameproof range boasting many ‘world firsts’. Our markets include the utilities, industrial contracting, and the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, oil, rail, steel and coal industries.
In addition to new equipment, we have a comprehensive re-build/repair facility for flameproof transformers and traction transformers. We also have departments dedicated to erection & service and commissioning, spare parts and maintenance.
We have Intertek third-party accreditation to quality standard ISO 9001 and to environmental standard ISO 14001, and design and manufacture to many British, European and international standards. We have first-class test facilities, which fully prove the designs manufactured in-house and are used by other transformer manufacturers.
Brush Transformers is known throughout the world for quality of product and its efforts to satisfy customers, winning many awards for innovation and service. An ongoing investment programme concentrates on implementation of modern technology, research and product development. Coupled with our long experience in the field, this puts us ‘in shape for the future'.
Design
Brush Transformers strive to ensure that our products and services consistently provide the best value, in the most cost-effective and suitable format for each of our customers individual needs.
From the initial stage of any project, the Design Department employ a wealth of experience to develop product specifications, combining a high degree of engineering integrity with the necessary commercial,
design-for-manufacture and quality considerations. This ensures that our customers receive the optimum design for their specific product requirements.
Sustained Design Excellence is achieved via a program of continuous improvement. The implementation of modern technology, research and product development, coupled with our long experience in the field, allows us to refine the design process whilst taking into account changing customer requirements, material advances and technical design improvements.
When assessing any transformer design it is essential that critical performance values are accurately simulated. The BTL transformer design program suite is a knowledge-based system with capabilities for both 2D and 3D
finite-element modelling.
The design software suite effectively captures many years of transformer design knowledge and experience. Over recent years, the use of Finite Element Modelling methods for transformer design and analysis has proven to be an extremely powerful tool. We employ a fully integrated collection of software modules capable of the generation and solution of electrostatic and electromagnetic finite element models.
Bespoke design software derived from successfully established practices and techniques is combined with the sound numerical techniques encompassed within Finite Element methodology to produce the optimum design for each Customers requirement.
Brush Transformers utilise the latest in CAD technology, investing in software packages such as Onespace Designer Modeling including FE Analysis and Model Manager. This technology enables us to adopt a more streamlined approach to the process of planning, developing and manufacturing of products. This in turn creates an ideal platform for lean product development and achieving increased response rates with our customers.
