CJSC Cheboksary Electric Appliance Plant is the undisputed leader in the production of electrical equipment for distribution substations, all types of power plants, energy-intensive enterprises, and the oil and gas sector. ChEAZ is the headquarters of a large holding uniting a number of companies and branches of the electronics industry, research institutes, and educational institutions.
Industry flagship
Today, the Cheboksary Electric Appliance Plant (CHEAZ) has high hopes for the reconstruction and construction of electrical energy distribution systems. About 70% of the components of automation and relay protection (RPA) in Russia have developed a standard resource, and the operating life has exceeded the limit values. In recent years, this has led to large emergency situations in the electric power industry.
ChEAZ employees create energy-efficient process control systems and power supply for electricity consumers. 90% of RPA equipment for domestic energy was manufactured at the Cheboksary Electric Appliance Plant. Company contacts: 428000, Chuvashia, Cheboksary city, ave. I. Yakovleva, building 5.
Historical reference
The formation of a well-coordinated team and a strong production base took place in extreme circumstances. In 1941, the equipment of the Kharkov and Leningrad Electromechanical Plants was brought to the outskirts of Cheboksary in cars and unloaded in the middle of the field. The hastily appointed leadership was ordered to arrange the release of scarce electronic components as soon as possible. Surprisingly, since the beginning of December, factory workers began to manufacture relays, marine equipment, components for aircraft and tanks. The labor feat did not go unnoticed: the government noted the efforts of the factory workers with the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, awarded in 1944.
The rapid post-war development of industry required an extensive energy network that was reliably protected from natural phenomena, overloads, and emergency situations. The Cheboksary Electric Appliance Plant, which by that time was already a large electrical enterprise, became the leader in the production of relay protection equipment. Hundreds of power plants, including nuclear, thousands of distribution substations, tens of thousands of transformers, operate on its element base. In 1971, factory workers were awarded the Order of the October Revolution.
During the years of perestroika, ChEAZ did not waste the potential accumulated by labor generations. On the contrary, his products are some of the best in the world in this segment. In 2001, the arrival of general investor and manager Mikhail Shurdov gave a new impetus to development. A promising area was the equipping with reliable electrical equipment of gas-oil producing and processing companies, fields, pressure stations, often located in remote regions with difficult climatic conditions. Time has shown that the products of Cheboksars are able to work efficiently and smoothly in all corners of the country: from the icy deserts of the north to the sultry steppes of the south.
Plant heart
Design bureaus and departments, of course, are the main driving force behind the development of the enterprise - its heart and brain. In these structures innovation and traditions, science, invention and production are closely intertwined. Development and modernization of serial products, typical complete devices are carried out by the design services of relay protection and automation departments, control apparatuses and complete devices.
Today, Cheboksary Electrical Apparatus Plant employs five hundred engineers in various fields:
- circuitry;
- PCB developers
- programmers
- constructors;
- testers;
- relay specialists;
- specialists who control the entire technical cycle: from the development of devices to their commissioning.
Design, technological and experimental services and well-equipped production facilities allow ChEAZ to develop both standard solutions and non-standard complete devices of any complexity.
Production
The main credo of ChEAZ CJSC is an individual approach to the production of electrical systems for the client. At the beginning of the work, the general configuration of the required equipment and the selection of individual components in terms of composition and price are being agreed with the customer. After that, the project is sent to the design department.
During manual assembly, equipment at the Cheboksary Electric Appliance Plant is equipped with products from the most reliable manufacturers, regardless of the country of origin. In particular, mutually beneficial relations have been established with Siemens.
Products
Today, the Cheboksary Electric Appliance Plant produces the following serial and individual products:
- typical and atypical low-voltage complete devices;
- medium voltage equipment;
- transformer and distribution substations;
- substation control points.
The company is constantly expanding its range by regularly introducing new products and modernizing existing products. Only in Russia, the company's customers are: Novatek, Transneft, RAO UES, IDGC, Gazprom, FGC UES, IES-holding, Rosneft, Lukoil, Rosatom and others . Products are also delivered to partners from abroad.
