SPRINGBOK, SOUTH AFRICA - The 140-megawatt Kangnas Wind Farm 28 miles outside of Springbok successfully energised its main transformer this week.

The locally manufactured transformer arrived in the Northern Cape via road from Gauteng last week. 

Housed at the Groeipunt Transmission substation, the transformer receives generated power from the wind farm via a distribution network, where it is responsible to step the voltage up from 132 kV to 220 kV.
