NEW DELHI: Siemens on Tuesday said it will supply advanced power transmission equipment with integrated digital technologies to Icon Steel, Geetai Steels and Gajkesari Steels & Alloys.
The installation includes 11 bays of state-of-the-art 132 kilovolts (kV) gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), which have a modular design and will enable increased efficiency, reduced operational costs and ensure safe operations even under extreme environmental conditions, the company said in a statement.
Siemens Limited will deliver advanced power transmission equipment with integrated digital technologies to steel manufacturers from the Jalna MIDC belt, Maharashtra, namely, Icon Steel, Geetai Steels and Gajkesari Steels & Alloys, the statement said.
