CHINT has successfully supplied and commissioned two 132/15 kV 60 MVA ONAN oil-immersed power transformers for ARUBA's IT3 Global Cloud Data Center in Ponte San Pietro, Italy. This strategic infrastructure enhancement supports one of Italy's largest data centers, spanning 200,000 square meters with multiple security perimeters and 24/7 armed protection.
The transformers form the backbone of the facility's 132/15 kV substation, connecting to the high-voltage grid and feeding into the medium-voltage network. Designed for outdoor installation and natural air cooling, these units ensure efficient and stable power distribution for the data center's critical operations. The IT3 facility meets the highest resilience standards, complying with ANSI/TIA-942-B-2017 Rating 4 requirements and ISO 22237 standards for data center lifecycle management.
Meeting ARUBA's demanding operational standards required transformers capable of withstanding outdoor environmental conditions while resisting harmonic distortion from the power network. CHINT's solution fully complies with TERNA's strict technical specifications, featuring low noise levels, high mechanical protection, and integrated temperature monitoring systems to ensure reliable performance under continuous load conditions.

ARUBA selected CHINT based on proven reliability in mission-critical applications, full compliance with Italian grid standards, and demonstrated project execution capabilities in the European market. The transformers provide uninterrupted power supply while meeting all local safety and grid requirements, including TERNA guidelines. The custom-engineered design addresses site-specific technical and environmental needs, reinforcing CHINT's position as a trusted partner for critical infrastructure projects across Europe.
This project represents another milestone in CHINT's growing portfolio of European infrastructure solutions, supporting digital transformation through reliable power transmission technology.
