Generator Step-Up Transformers (GSU)
Generator Step-Up (GSU) transformers are an essential component of any power station. . Being faced with constantly changing voltage, the GSU transformer must maintain the ability to withstand overloads. This Generator Step-Up transformer is the link between the transmission network and the power station. These transformers are often run 24 hours a day at full capacity.
