Dear Read­ers,

As a new mem­ber of the Gen­er­al Man­age­ment of Maschi­nen­fab­rik Rein­hausen, I am delight­ed to present the sum­mer issue of our ONLOAD cus­tomer mag­a­zine. As always, we have com­piled an excit­ing mix of inno­v­a­tive sys­tem solu­tions and ser­vices from the world of the Rein­hausen Group.

These include our nov­el FLEETSCAN 2D approach, which makes diag­nos­ing andassess­ing your assets as easy as pos­si­ble. Anoth­er unique prod­uct is the spe­cial de-ener­gized tap-chang­ers which we have pro­duced for the oper­a­tor of a Cana­di­an hydro­elec­tric pow­er plant. Their tech­ni­cal design and final test­ing in our Regens­burg Test Cen­ter, which involved a test volt­age of 1,000 kV, was only pos­si­ble thanks to the close coop­er­a­tion between the spe­cial­ists from the trans­former man­u­fac­tur­er and our experts. This is a new record and also rep­re­sents the ulti­mate high-end option for rotary de-ener­gized tap-chang­ers with head design.

A fur­ther superla­tive is the cable test­ing sys­tem installed in Greece by our sub­sidiary HIGHVOLT. Giant reac­tors enable high-volt­age cables mea­sur­ing 55 kilo­me­ters in length to be test­ed in the manufacturer’s plant. What’s more, col­leagues in Dres­den are already work­ing on the tech­nol­o­gy which will enable cables of 200 kilo­me­ters to be test­ed in future—both at the fac­to­ry and fol­low­ing instal­la­tion.

As you can see, we love to go the extra mile. For you—our cus­tomers across the globe.

Thanks for read­ing!
