Midas Electric Successfully Supports Brazil’s PAMPA Coal-Fired Power Plant Project

The PAMPA Coal-Fired Power Plant Project is located in Candiota, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The plant is designed with a capacity of one 345 MW coal-fired generating unit and is invested by Tractebel Energia, a Brazilian subsidiary controlled by France’s GDF SUEZ Group (now ENGIE). The project is undertaken by Shandong Electric Power Engineering Consulting Institute as the EPC general contractor. The unit was scheduled for completion in December 2018.

As a key supplier for the PAMPA project, Midas Electric (ME) organized production in strict accordance with the delivery schedule and has successfully delivered the equipment on time.

As the dual power transfer switch supplier for this project, ME provided MDS7 and MDS9 Series Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS). These series are designed to meet the demands of large-capacity power distribution systems and complex application scenarios, with a maximum rated current of up to 4000A. They are suitable for power source switching (U-U or U-G), distribution systems, and critical end-load switching applications across industries such as banking, telecommunications, metro systems, electronics manufacturing, airports, thermal power plants, hydropower stations, and nuclear power facilities.

The MDS7 Series features SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) rectification for more precise coil excitation control. It is suitable for a wide range of emergency power systems, offering easy operation and a variety of control functions.
The MDS9 Series is engineered to meet diverse functional requirements, providing flexible solutions for different application scenarios. It is particularly well-suited for mission-critical power distribution systems.
