Supply Fault Current Limiter for Asmara Mining 28MW HFO Power Plant

In January 2025, Innovit Electric was awarded a contract to supply a fault current limiter for the Asmara Mining 28MW Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) Power Plant Project, developed by Shaanxi Diesel Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.

The fault current limiter will be integrated into the 10kV power system to address the problem of excessive short-circuit current during system interconnection, which is crucial for maintaining the power system’s stability and safety. The project’s successful completion will be a significant step for Innovit Electric in growing its market share in Africa and internationally, which will further solidify the company’s influence in the global arena. With this initiative, Innovit Electric will enhance its competitiveness in the global power industry.
