Market Analysis of 630kVA Transformer in Cameroon in 2023

JACK, Sales Director of Hengfengyou Electric, combined with years of experience in exporting transformers, believes that Cameroon's electricity demand is constantly growing. Due to the rapid increase in industrial, commercial, and residential electricity consumption in the country, coupled with the problem of insufficient domestic electricity supply, the country's electricity demand has been in a state of significant shortage. According to reports, in 2023, Cameroon's total power generation capacity was 1667 megawatts, but the actual power supply capacity was only around 1200 megawatts, of which 85% came from hydroelectric power generation and 15% came from oil and natural gas power generation. At present, the country is actively promoting energy diversification and increasing investment in renewable energy to better meet electricity demand. Therefore, the prospects for power transformers in the Cameroonian market are very promising.

 

 

 

 

(1) The technical characteristics of a 630kVA transformer mainly include the following aspects:

 

 

 

The low-voltage winding of oil immersed transformers is generally wound with copper wire, except for small capacity copper foil winding.

 

The high-voltage winding adopts a multi-layer cylindrical structure, while the low-voltage winding adopts a cake structure.

 

The winding and iron core are installed in the oil tank and immersed in transformer oil.

 

The oil tank adopts a corrugated plate type heat dissipation structure, which can work under hot oil circulation conditions.

 

Selecting high-quality insulation materials and oil for vacuum oil filtration and injection significantly reduces the insulation performance and volume of the transformer.

 

Set up a pressure relief valve structure to ensure reliable operation of the transformer under overload conditions.

 

Set up a pressure relief valve to automatically relieve pressure in the event of an internal fault in the transformer, in order to reduce damage to the transformer.

 

 

 

(2) Application Cases of 630kVA Transformer in Cameroon

 

 

 

 

1. Application of 630kVA Transformer in Communication System in Cameroon

 

 

 

In Cameroon's communication system, 630kVA transformers are widely used in power distribution and transformer stations to ensure stable power supply and smooth operation of the communication system. These transformers can reduce voltage on the existing high-voltage power grid to meet the working needs of communication equipment and can adapt to various power loads.

 

 

 

2. Application of 630kVA Transformer in Industrial Production in Cameroon

 

 

 

In Cameroon, 630kVA transformers are also widely used in industrial production equipment, such as steel manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other fields. These transformers can ensure the normal operation of production equipment and enhance production efficiency and quality by changing voltage and current. In addition, it can also provide power support for modern industrial cable systems, ensuring the stability and reliability of equipment.

 

 

 

3. Application of 630kVA Transformer in Medical Equipment in Cameroon

 

 

 

630kVA transformers are also widely used in medical equipment in Cameroon. These transformers can ensure the reliability and stability of medical equipment by changing the current and voltage, and ensure that they can maintain operation in emergency situations. For example, these transformers can be used for power distribution in equipment such as operating rooms and CT machines to ensure the stable operation of life critical equipment.

 

 

 

(3) Permits required for exporting transformers to Cameroon

 

 

 

1. Import and Export License: The company responsible for exporting needs to obtain an import and export license in Cameroon in order to transport the transformer to that country.

 

 

 

2. Certification documents: In addition, transformers need to comply with Cameroon's certification requirements, such as CE certification, ROHS certification, etc. These certification documents need to be obtained before export.

 

 

 

3. Payment of customs duties and import taxes: Before transporting the transformer to Cameroon, the export company needs to pay the corresponding customs duties and import taxes. The amount of these taxes and fees can be consulted with local relevant departments or freight agents.

 

 

 

4. Special requirements: Cameroon may have other special requirements, such as wooden packaging, labeling, etc. Consult with local freight forwarders and relevant departments to ensure compliance with all requirements.

 

 

 

In summary, exporting transformers to Cameroon requires licensing and certification documents, payment of relevant taxes, and compliance with local special requirements. Consult with local freight forwarders and relevant departments to ensure smooth export.
