Q. Can you tell us briefly about your company, EASUR MR?

Imagine Easun MR as the rockstars of On-Load Tap Changers (OLTCs) for power transformers! We’ve been in the game for over 50 years, teaming up with the German tech giants at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen to craft the most reliable and innovative OLTCs. We’re not just India’s leading manufacturer, we’re a trusted partner for major utilities and manufacturers worldwide, all thanks to our dedication to quality, sustainability, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with this tech. Think cutting-edge solutions, rock-solid reliability, and a global reach. So, if you’re looking for the best in the business, Easun MR is the brand you want on stage for your power transformer needs!

 

Q. What is the main objective of your company?

Easun MR primarily focuses on providing highquality transformer ancillaries to meet the diverse needs of the power transformer industry and utilities. Our main objective is to deliver efficient and reliable voltage regulation solutions through our core product, On-Load Tap Changers (OLTCs).

 

Q. As a leading player of electromechanical control systems for power transformers, where do you see your company heading in the next few years?

Focus on smart grid functionalities: Integrating intelligence into OLTCs for real-time data monitoring, predictive maintenance, and grid optimization. Global expansion: Strengthen presence in existing markets and enter new territories, leveraging partnerships and strategic acquisitions. Develop eco-friendly OLTCs: Reduce carbon footprint through material choices, manufacturing processes, and optimized energy consumption.

 

Q. In the decades of experience in manufacturing, designing, and supplying OLTC, what kind of reputation has the company earned as the most reliable player in this field?

Easun MR’s reputation as a reliable OLTC manufacturer is not merely a claim, but a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

Q. Would you elaborate on the company’s NIFPS, Smart Breather, FRP Products, Oil Filter Unit, and other products?

Certainly! Let’s delve deeper into Easun MR’s other offerings beyond On-Load Tap Changers (OLTCs):

NIFPS: Nitrogen Injection Fire prevention and extinguishing system is a sophisticated system designed to protect transformers from the risk of fire and explosion, both internally and externally.

Smart Breather: Think of the Smart Breather as a guardian of your transformer’s health. It’s a sophisticated breather system that eliminates moisture and harmful gases from the transformer oil, preventing internal corrosion and ensuring optimal oil quality. This translates to enhanced transformer performance, reliability, and extended life.

FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) Products: Lightweight yet robust, FRP products replace traditional metal components in transformers. They offer numerous advantages like enhanced corrosion resistance, reduced weight, and better insulation properties. Easun MR’s FRP expertise extends to bushings, tap changer covers, and other crucial transformer components.

Oil Filter Unit: This is like a spa for your transformer oil. The Oil Filter Unit effectively removes impurities and contaminants from the oil, maintaining its purity and extending its lifespan. This ensures smooth transformer operation, minimizes wear and tear, and contributes to optimal efficiency. DCRM (Dynamic Contact Resistance Measurement): Provides comprehensive monitoring and control of the transformer’s vital parameters.

Oil Surge Relay: Protects the OLTC from sudden oil pressure surges. Motor Drive Unit: Optimizes tap changer operation and ensures smooth voltage regulation.

 

Q. Can you shed light on the training, retrofit, transformer service & diagnostics, and many other services of your company?

Absolutely! Easun MR doesn’t just manufacture top-notch transformer components; we take our commitment to serving the industry a step further with a wide range of comprehensive services:
