Innovation - Motor Starting

On March 27, 2019, Mr. Apichat Watthanaudomchai, Director of Electrical Machinery, Royal Irrigation Department, led a group of 12 engineers to visit the production of Tirathai transformers.

Meanwhile, Assistant Professor Dr. Itsda Boonyaroonat, Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi gave a lecture on Motor Starting Solution, using techniques to reduce the motor starting current by reducing the voltage together with the reactive power compensation. This is innovation arising from the collaboration between research and development of Power Quality Team Co., Ltd. and Tirathai Public Company Limited. The collaboration on research and development of a 1,400-kW motor starter with a voltage of 6,600 V is for use in pumping water in the Lignite Mine, Mae Moh, Lampang Station of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, which has been very successful.

Tirathai is proud to create innovations, new product in response to Thai industries.
