Meet the Browns

Most of the time, MR ser­vice tech­ni­cians Alan and Grant Brown from Syd­ney work in scorch­ing heat. This time the father-son team were for­tu­nate: they were head­ing for the cool of New Zealand.

“Good Active Filters Think for Themselves”

Reli­able vehi­cle pro­duc­tion: At Volk­swa­gen in Zwick­au, the new gen­er­a­tion of active fil­ters ensures sta­ble and clean volt­age in the plant grid. Tobias Knis­pel, Project Engi­neer at Maschi­nen­fab­rik Rein­hausen (MR), describes the sophis­ti­cat­ed tech­nol­o­gy that impressed the glob­al cor­po­ra­tion.

A New Level of Power

The new VACUTAP® VR is now avail­able. It is even more pow­er­ful than its pre­de­ces­sor and is vir­tu­al­ly main­te­nance free.

A Question of Distribution

Unreg­u­lat­ed dis­tri­b­u­tion net­works are still the norm around the world. How­ev­er, the dis­ad­van­tages are evi­dent every day in emerg­ing mar­kets as well as in indus­tri­al cen­ters. The future belongs to reg­u­lat­ed dis­tri­b­u­tion trans­form­ers.

“We don’t have to advertise much”

Säch­­sisch-Bay­erische Stark­strom-Geräte­bau GmbH (SBG) is a lead­ing man­u­fac­tur­er of dis­tri­b­u­tion trans­form­ers and spe­cial equip­ment. SBG was one of the first com­pa­nies that decid­ed to inte­grate the new ECOTAP VPD on-load tap-chang­er into its reg­u­lat­ed dis­tri­b­u­tion trans­form­ers. Man­ag­ing Direc­tor Erwin Bir­bach­er and Sales Engi­neer Michael Büh­n­ert report on their expe­ri­ences.

We Are Wherever You Are

Over 50 per­cent of the world’s elec­tric­i­ty flows through our prod­ucts. We take respon­si­bil­i­ty for the entire ser­vice life of our prod­ucts – wher­ev­er they are used. We are there­fore rep­re­sent­ed by 36 sub­sidiaries and six affil­i­at­ed com­pa­nies around the world to ensure the best pos­si­ble ser­vice.  

The Future is Now

When a trans­former is already such a mature piece of tech­nol­o­gy, how can it be devel­oped fur­ther for the future? Com­po­nent sup­pli­ers and part­ners from the world of sci­ence explored this ques­tion in the Trans­former 2020 tech­nol­o­gy study. The project was pre­sent­ed to the field in 2015. This overview explains which inno­va­tions from Maschi­nen­fab­rik Rein­hausen (MR) have already become a real­i­ty.

“It Was Pretty Tough”

New resilience trans­form­ers in New York help restore pow­er in emer­gen­cies. Inter­view with San­jay Bose, Vice Pres­i­dent Cen­tral Engi­neer­ing at Con Edi­son, New York.

Expert Training for Professionals

For 40 years, MR employ­ees and cus­tomers have been learn­ing about on-load tap-chang­ers and relat­ed com­po­nents in the train­ing cen­ter in Regens­burg. ONLOAD went along to a train­ing ses­sion for tech­ni­cians from Lech­w­erke AG.

Increased protection with plastic and Silicone

In 2007, the first hol­low com­pos­ite insu­la­tors left the pro­duc­tion floor of Maschi­nen­fab­rik Rein­hausen (MR) under the brand name ReCoTec® (Rein­hausen Com­pos­ite Tech­nol­o­gy). Since then, Recotec® insu­la­tors have been tak­ing over the mar­ket.
