We should be well aware of the fact that Transformers are capital goods with a life span of decades. While choosing the transformer the buyer should not only consider the initial price of the transformer but also the estimated maintenance costs, the cost of no-load losses in the iron core, the cost of load losses of the windings, the quality of raw materials used and the effectiveness of the after-sales services offered.
In order to determine the most economical design for a particular application, it is important to know the capitalized value that is affected by a particular kind of loss. This value can then be compared to the initial cost. It is found that higher initial cost caused by the use of high-grade CRGO electrical steel sheets and copper windings are counter balanced by lower operational costs.
NEEK transformers are manufactured using high quality material and by the most modern and reliable technology and methods, hence resulting superior products. Designs, which offer optimum results provided from individual customers are available upon request.
The purpose of testing is to prove the validity of all technical data and to ensure the sound performance of the transformer. NEEK transformers are subjected to the Routing tests which are carried out on all transformers and Type Tests are carried out on all of the new designs of the Transformers.
NEEK was established in 1990 to manufacture distribution transformers as a joint venture between EKARAT ENGINEERING PUBLIC COMPANY LTD. of Thailand (manufacturer of Distribution & Power transformers) and prominent Nepalese professionals with extensive expertise and experience in the marketing of transformers in Nepal. The first product of NEEK was launched in August 1992. Since then, NEEK transformers have been extensively used by NEA (Nepal Electrical Authority) to distribute electricity in the national distribution network. On the other hand NEEK is fulfilling the country's overall demand for transformers and saving valuable foreign currency from being spent to import transformers from abroad. NEEK has also exported to India and Bhutan.
Today, one can see NEEK transformers throughout Nepal, and NEEK may proudly boast that it manufactures the most sought after product of its type in the country. This has been possible because NEEK places utmost priority on the quality of its product and on the satisfaction of its clients.
