What Nigerian buyers order

The ratings that actually move

Most enquiries from Nigeria are for 11/0.415 kV distribution transformers between 50 and 1000 kVA, with 33 kV units for larger industrial and estate substations. The secondary is 415/240 V, the frequency is 50 Hz, and the vector group is almost always Dyn11.

What matters as much as the transformer is whether the shipment clears. We prepare the packing list, the English nameplate, the drawing and the test records in the form your clearing agent will ask for.
