For REO, the holistic conceptualization of products means that it also allows for conditions that are rather unlikely in Germany: earthquakes. To enable safe and long-term use all over the world, REO products, such as various different performance classes of column-type transformers, are built to be earthquake proof. To prevent damage or even destruction of transformers during an earthquake from sudden movements or vibrations, components and fixings are selected in accordance with the high re...

In addition to an optimal temperature behavior of the component, water cooling enables high performance and ensures a longer service life of the components. The entire body of the component is at an optimum temperature even under full load. Therefore, water-cooled REO components can also be used in applications where air cooling is not possible. This is the case, for example, with particularly compact systems where there is little room for air circulation. Basis for using water-cooled REO comp...
