History of ALCE Elektrik in Istanbul and vacuum epoxy resin molding technology

Established in 1968 in Istanbul, ALCE Elektrik has spent over five decades designing and manufacturing instrument transformers, medium-voltage insulators, and molded epoxy assemblies.

The corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant in Pendik, Istanbul span nineteen thousand square meters, employing over six hundred specialized engineering and production staff.

Transformer bodies and insulation components are produced using automated pressure gelation and vacuum pouring of cycloaliphatic and quartz-filled epoxy resins.

High-voltage factory laboratories perform routine and type testing, verifying partial discharge levels, power-frequency withstand potentials, lightning impulse endurance, and thermal stability.

Design of indoor support current transformers AB12, AB24, and AB36 for MV switchgear

ALCE indoor block-type support current transformers AB12, AB24, AK24, and AB36 are deployed in air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear panels rated from 12 kV up to 36 kV.

Primary conductors and toroidal magnetic cores wound from nanocrystalline or grain-oriented silicon steel are encapsulated within a solid silica-filled epoxy insulation block.

Depending on substation metering and protection architectures, units are manufactured with single, dual, or triple secondary windings feeding revenue energy meters and protective relays.

Configurations support primary or secondary ratio reconnection alongside window-type busbar current transformers AD12, AD17, and AD24 for high-current switchgear busbars.

Single-pole and double-pole voltage transformers VB, VK, and fused VBF series

ALCE indoor inductive voltage transformers comprise single-pole phase-to-ground models VB12, VK12, VB24, VB36, VK36 and double-pole phase-to-phase units 2VB12, 2VB24, 2VK36.

Single-pole units connect between phase busbars and substation earth, whereas double-pole models measure line-to-line voltages in isolated neutral distribution networks.

To protect medium-voltage cubicles against internal short-circuit faults, fused series VBF12-FE, VBF24-FE, and VBF36-FE integrate a high-voltage current-limiting fuse directly into the top insulation well.

The removable fuse carrier allows maintenance personnel to replace blown fuse links during scheduled switchgear inspection intervals.

Outdoor cycloaliphatic transformers AH, A32H, and VH for open-air substations

For open-air substations and overhead distribution feeders, ALCE manufactures outdoor current transformers AH17, AH24, A32H and outdoor voltage transformers VH17, VH24, VH36, 2VH24, 2VH36.

Outer insulation bodies are molded from hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy resin formulated to resist surface tracking, arc erosion, and weathering.

Alternating shedded insulator skirts provide extended creepage distances ensuring dielectric reliability across heavy industrial pollution zones, coastal salt spray environments, and high ultraviolet radiation regions.

Hot-dip galvanized base frames and stainless steel terminal hardware prevent corrosion across wide ambient temperature swings.

Shielded GIS transformers VEI, VEG and low-voltage sensors ADB, ADK, and KAT

Compact gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) and ring main units utilize ALCE shielded voltage transformers VEI-24, VEG-36B, VEG-36C, and metal-clad models VMT24 and VMT36.

Outer epoxy surfaces receive a conductive metallic coating connected to ground, equalizing electric field distribution and allowing safe touch contact inside tight cable compartments.

For low-voltage 0.72 kV switchgear and feeder cables, the factory produces busbar current transformers ASB, ADB, ADK, split-core retrofit transformers ACK, and zero-sequence cable transformers KAT, KATK, and HKA.

Aperture windows accommodate flat copper or aluminum busbars up to 160 mm wide as well as multi-core medium-voltage cables.

Post insulators RMA, capacitive dividers DKA, and nameplate identification rules

ALCE primary switchgear insulation components cover indoor post insulators RMA, RMB, RMC (7.2 kV to 36 kV), capacitive divider insulators DKA, DKB, and wall or spout bushings GKR, SCB, DDGB, HDGB, GKB.

Capacitive insulators DKA and DKB house an embedded high-voltage capacitor driving panel-mounted voltage presence indication systems.

When requesting a replacement ALCE transformer or insulator, record the exact model code from the rating plate together with maximum system voltage, primary and secondary current or voltage transformation ratios, accuracy class and rated burden in VA for each winding, plus short-time thermal current (Ith) and dynamic current (Idyn) ratings.
