Brief Company History of MGC Technology Ltd.
1914 March 19, 1914. Moser-Glaser & Co. was formed, situated in the city of Basle. Main business: development, production
and marketing of small transformers, up to 4 kVA
1921 Birth year and first supply of new developed 8 and 15 kV power transformers
1922 First delivery of dry type instrument transformers for indoor application for the Swiss railway company, 15 kV & 66 kV
1939 May 2, 1939. A joint stock company was formed and renamed to Moser-Glaser & Co. Ltd.
1944 Development of porcelain isolated voltage transformers
1946 December 20, 1946. The factory moved from Basle to the new location in Muttenz
1947 Major break through in the field of insulation materials: first delivery of 20 kV epoxy cast resin insulated instrument

Choice of Conductor
Aluminium anticorodal (AC041 - EWAA no. 6101) is better suited than copper because of the following reasons:
Mechanical characteristics
Copper must be heavily heated for bending and welding with loss of mechanical strength
Reduced weight
For the same nominal current, the aluminium busbar is lighter (AC041 = 2.7 kg / dm
3
, copper = 8.9 kg / dm
3
)
Reduced price
The aluminium version is about 10 - 15 % cheaper
Thermal dilatation coefficient
Copper 12 x 10-6 / K
AC041 23 x 10-6 / K
DURESCA
30 - 40 x 10-6 / K
