LIMIK Autotransformer Platform

LIMIK autotransformers are custom-engineered, liquid-immersed units designed for bulk transmission interconnection between EHV voltage levels. Built on a shared series/common winding architecture, they deliver higher efficiency and lower losses compared to two-winding designs — making them the preferred choice for 345/500 kV, 230/345 kV, and 115/230 kV interconnections across transmission networks.

Available up to 600 MVA at HV classes up to 525 kV and LV classes up to 345 kV — every unit is engineered to your specification. Neutral grounding, tertiary winding configurations, and reactive compensation arrangements are integrated at the design stage.

All units designed to IEEE C57.12.00 and IEEE C57.12.10 with on-load tap changers standard on transmission-class units. Factory-tested to IEEE C57.12.90. Buy American Act (BAA), BABA, and §303 Defense Production Act compliant on every order. Typical lead time: 48 weeks from signed specification to shipment.

Where LIMIK Autotransformers Are Specified

Transmission Voltage Tie Points

Interconnecting 345 kV, 500 kV, and 525 kV systems across regional transmission networks — PJM, MISO, SPP, WECC, and SERC.

Grid Voltage Transformation

Step-up and step-down between EHV voltage levels: 115/230 kV, 138/230 kV, 230/345 kV, and 345/500 kV configurations.

Transmission Network Expansion

New substation builds and capacity expansions requiring bulk EHV interconnection with tertiary winding provisions for reactive compensation.

Defense & Critical Infrastructure

Mission-critical EHV interconnection for DOD and DOE installations. §303 Defense Production Act and Berry Amendment compliant.

What Sets LIMIK Autotransformers Apart

Single-Winding Design — Lower Losses, Higher Efficiency

Autotransformer topology reduces copper and core losses versus equivalent two-winding units — resulting in lower lifecycle operating costs for high-capacity interconnection projects.

Tertiary Winding — Reactive Compensation Ready

Delta-connected tertiary winding available for reactive compensation (capacitor banks, reactors), harmonic suppression, and station auxiliary power supply.

OLTC Standard on All Transmission-Class Units

On-load tap changer standard for continuous voltage regulation under load. De-energized tap changer (DETC) available where specified.

Buy American & §303 DPA Compliant

Satisfies BAA, BABA, and Berry Amendment requirements. Eligible for DOD/DOE direct procurement under §303 Defense Production Act.
