DHDL reports completing production and testing in 38 days, followed by shipment to Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-fc99b9bc\">Important distinction: This was a documented capacity-expansion project, not a confirmed like-for-like transformer replacement. It is relevant because both project types require careful coordination with an existing distribution network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-2345f160\">For replacement projects in Thailand, Vietnam, Nigeria and Ethiopia, the same procurement principles apply: verify network compatibility, environmental conditions, factory testing and the installation schedule before ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-a2a00b02\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Plan_Factory_Testing_Delivery_and_the_Shutdown_Window\"><\/span>9.
