The first major transformer of the Pulsed Power Electrical Network (PPEN) has been shipped by China from the Tianjin port on April 17, according to China International Nuclear Fusion Energy Execution Center on April 27, 2016. The mega component is expected to arrive in France in this June.

As a member of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, China has been responsible for the design and manufacture of the first major transformer of PPEN for ITER. The 400 KV transformer has a capacity of 300 MVA, weighing 278 tonnes. It is 13.4 meters in length, 4 meters in width and 4.7 meters in height.

ITER is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject. It is the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment in the Cadarache facility, south of France. China joined the project in 2013. ITER’s other partners include U.S., India, Japan, the European Union, and the Republic of Korea.
