Register for EMA 2026 Since its establishment in 2017, Trafo Power Solutions has maintained a consistent presence at Electra Mining Africa, recognising the exhibition as

As demand grows for reliable electrical infrastructure across mining, industrial and commercial projects, mini-substations are increasingly being installed to support new developments, expansions and upgrades.

Trafo Power Solutions, based in South Africa, is strengthening the power infrastructure at a copper-gold project in Pakistan by supplying 13 dry-type transformers for e-houses. Designed for the site’s harsh, arid conditions, the transformers will support one of the EPC contractors in overcoming the challenges of this remote mining environment.

Constrained by the cage size in the shaft of a leading underground copper mine in Zambia, Trafo Power Solutions has designed and is manufacturing seventeen mini substations that can be easily transported to their place of application – while ensuring sufficient cooling for optimal performance.

Trafo Power Solutions’ early-stage involvement in mining projects allows customers to design electrical infrastructure that can scale and adapt as their operations evolve, avoiding costly re-engineering later. By engaging from the concept phase, the company helps mines plan for shifting equipment layouts and changing load requirements, ensuring transformers and substations are future-ready from the outset.

A turnkey mobile transformer solution has been designed and supplied to an Australian mine by South Africa-based Trafo Power Solutions. Managing Director, David Claassen explains why this substation capability is opening doors to grow its export markets.

Trafo Power Solutions, in partnership with TMC Transformers, is advancing dry-type transformer technology in Africa through custom engineered high-performance solutions tailored for demanding industries like mining and energy. Their combined expertise, simulation-led design and commitment to innovation are expanding the role of dry-type transformers in both indoor and outdoor applications, setting new standards for safety, reliability and environmental performance.

Trafo Power Solutions has established itself as a key provider of tailored electrical power solutions in Africa, leveraging its expertise and deep understanding of mining operations to address challenging conditions. Its recent supply of nine transformers to a mineral sands operation in Mozambique underscores its capability in delivering specialised solutions for demanding mining environments.

A data center in the Netherlands is the site of a recent innovation on the transformer landscape, where TMC Transformers has designed, manufactured and installed dry-type transformers in a large intake substation. Managing Director of Trafo Power Solutions, David Claassen explains the significance of this pioneering project.

Founded as a dry-type transformer specialist, Trafo Power Solutions has expanded its vision to become a leading provider of electrical power solutions in Africa. David Claassen explains how the company’s range of offerings has leveraged its depth of expertise and growing reputation across many sectors.
