Transformer rental in Europe

Transformer rental in Europe

Transformer rental in Europe

(OP)
We have the medium voltage VFD system built in Europe for US end user. System must go through acceptance test. It is currently installed in Bremen, Germany test facility. The input drive isolation transformer was built in US for 13.8 kV primary, 60 Hz, and can not be used for system testing in Europe. Our drive and motor suppliers realized (late enough)that their test facility does not have the required transformer, they try to find the one to rent. We (from US side) try to help them, since the time is critical for the project.
My question to Europe based colleagues: can you advice or direct us to a company that would rent a transformer with the following parameters: 3500 KVA, primary voltage 6 kV or 10 kV, secondary voltage 3 kV, Uk=10%.

They rent stuff all over the world, used them on some military contracts in Europe a few years ago trying to match up US made equipment to European power supplies, they were very helpful.
