China XD Group (Chinese “中国西电集团”) is a Chinese power engineering company and manufacturer of electrical equipment. The company was established in July 1959 and was formerly known as Xi'an Electric Machinery Manufacturing Company (Chinese 西安电力机械制造公司). It was also known as Xi'an XD, Xi'an Xidian, Xi'an Electric (Chinese “西电” for short.)
XD Group’s main business includes the research and development, design, production, sales and examinations of power transmission and distribution and control equipment, relevant equipment technology and service in a complete set, engineering contracting, etc. Its core business is the production, the research and development and the examinations of high voltage, extra high voltage and extreme high voltage AC/DC power transmission and distribution equipment. Its leading products include 110KV and above voltage level of high-voltage switches (GIS, GCB, isolating switches, ground switches), transformers (power transformers, converter transformers), reactors (smoothing reactors，shunt reactors)，power condensers，instrument transformers（CVT、CT、PT），insulators (power substation electric porcelain products，composite insulator products)，cannula, zinc oxide arresters, direct current transportation valves, etc. After a half century’s struggle and development, XD Group has become the production base of high-voltage, extra high voltage and extreme high voltage AC/DC power transmission and distribution equipment and other electrical products.
At present, XD Group owns over 40 wholly owned enterprises or holding enterprises, during which there’re 10 large or medium key production enterprises and 3 research institutions (including 3 national testing centers). It has more than 18,000 employees, and over 3000 of them are engineers and technicians, including 529 persons with intermediate and senior professional titles, 35 experts enjoying the government special subsidy that the State Council distributes, and 49 young experts with outstanding contributions at the provincial and municipal level. During the years, XD Group has made progress in the key technical field of extreme high voltage universal power transmission and distribution equipment, in researching and developing line products for 750KV power network, and developed 800kV GIS, couple cut-off pot-type breakers, isolating switches and transformers of 750kV, reactors, lightning arresters, etc.
As China’s experimental research establishment of high voltage, intense current and large capacity AC/DC, XD Group’s subordinate research institutions have become not only the member of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and International Conference on Large High Voltage Electric Systems (CIGRE), but also the specified administrative department of IEC in China and the relevant international Secretariat. In recent years, according to the needs of the national key projects and market, XD Group has been continuously intensifying research and technical reforms, therefore it has accomplished more than 1300 items of new key products developed by itself, among which 281 items reached international most advanced level, 230 items reached national most advanced level, 11 items won national scientific and technical awards, 136 items won provincial or ministerial scientific and technical awards, as well as 260 patents were authorized and 2 items got the copyright of computer software.
