MANILA, Philippines — Meralco recently energized its new 100-MVA, 115 kV-34.5 kV replacement power transformer with On-Load Tap Changer (OTLC) at the Dolores Substation located at Philec Road, Barangay Dolores, Taytay, Rizal. This new power transformer will improve system reliability, preventing prolonged power outages to customers in Antipolo City, Binangonan, Taytay and Cardona in the province of Rizal. The OTLC feature, which was not present in the previous transformer, can optimally balance the load among the feeders served by the new power transformer and the other power transformers at the adjacent Cainta, Masinag and Taguig Substations, and enhance system flexibility during contingencies. For more information and concerns, customers may visit Meralco’s website at www.MERALCO.com.ph, its social media accounts, twitter @MERALCO and Facebook at www.facebook.com/MERALCO or may also call the Meralco Hotline at 16211.
