Tanaka Electric
Engineered to deliver high-current stability, low harmonic distortion, and robust performance under extreme operating cycles.
Libya's industrial sector, anchored by major entities like the Libyan Iron and Steel Company (LISCO) in Misrata, is undergoing significant modernization. The demand for reliable metallurgical infrastructure has intensified. Large-scale smelting processes—ranging from electric arc furnace (EAF) operations to induction heating applications—require massive quantities of stable electric power.
Due to the unique challenges of the local power grid (managed by the General Electricity Company of Libya - GECOL) and the extreme Saharan climatic conditions, standard distribution transformers are inadequate. Steel mills and chemical plants require specialized **furnace transformers** that can withstand massive current overloads, rapid cycling, high ambient temperatures up to 50°C, and heavy dust ingress.
Furnace transformers operating in Libya must act as a buffer between the raw high-voltage grid and the unstable load of the smelting arc. Electric arc furnaces induce significant voltage fluctuations and high levels of harmonic currents. Our transformers integrate built-in compensation reactors and specialized vector groups (such as double-star or delta-wye shifts) to neutralize harmonics before they can feedback into the main distribution lines.
Additionally, vacuum furnaces and calcium carbide operations demand high-current step-down performance (often translating 33kV or 110kV down to less than 100V with currents reaching tens of thousands of amperes). Our customized copper-wound setups ensure minimum resistance losses and maximum efficiency.

Understanding the physics of high-current power delivery under desert conditions.
Furnace operation involves routine short-circuits as electrodes contact scrap metal. Our core designs utilize high-grade, cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel with precision radial clamping to withstand repetitive mechanical stresses without axial displacement.
Given Libya's extreme ambient temperatures, we offer customized cooling configurations. Standard options include oil forced water forced (OFWF) or oil forced air forced (OFAF) cooling with high-reliability radiator banks designed to maintain low hot-spot temperatures.
Low-voltage terminations are critical in furnace transformers. We design customized heavy-duty copper busbars utilizing water-cooled structures to prevent thermal runaways and local induction heating on the tank walls.
