Power Shunts for Switchgear & Transformer Connections. High Voltage.

T&D have supplied EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd with high voltage power shunt connectors to enable the coupling of onsite transformers at Torness and Hunterston B Power Stations in Scotland  - the £60K Purchase Order was awarded to T&D following a successful vetting of T&D and their sub-contract manufacturing facilities by EDF QA personnel and station procurement engineers. The customised power shunts were carefully manufactured to exacting EDF specifications and delivered on-time under tight delivery requirements.

Power shunts are large cross-sectional area copper braided connectors designed to meet the current carrying capacity of power distribution applications - designed with multi-layers of flat or round earth braids to achieve sizes up to 1000sqmm and carry currents in excess of 400 amps. Power shunts are used as an alternative to solid bus bars and power cable assemblies capable of carrying very high currents yet are flexible, robust and easy to install.

Typical power shunt applications : power stations, transformers, motors, generators, switchgear, substations - low and high voltage.
