Leading Custom-Built Transformers for the Naval Sector
R Baker (Electrical) Ltd is a leading provider of custom-built transformers and electrical solutions, known for delivering high-quality products tailored to the Naval sector’s specific needs. Our expertise spans decades of dedicated service, consistently addressing the unique demands and challenges of this highly specialised industry. Our work with key partners, including the Ministry of Defence (MOD), Babcock, Thales, Atlas, and BAE Systems, highlights our ability to handle critical Naval projects with precision and reliability. Notably, our collaboration with Babcock on the T31 frigates and aircraft carriers has led to further partnerships with Lloyds Register, Qinetiq, Thornton Tomasetti, and DNV, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted and capable partner for large-scale Naval initiatives.
Commitment to Quality in Electrical Solutions
At R Baker, we maintain the highest quality standards across every project. Our approach to designing and manufacturing transformers and electrical solutions focuses on innovation, quality, and adaptability. We understand that the Naval sector needs equipment that is robust, reliable, and capable of enduring harsh marine environments. We build our solutions to withstand these challenges while integrating seamlessly into existing Naval systems. From prototype development to Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) approval, our team delivers superior products that exceed client expectations.
Extensive Experience in Supporting Naval Repair Contracts
We have extensive experience in the Naval industry, supporting repair contracts for NSN (National Stock Number) equipment, such as control units, electronics, and transformers. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our work with partners like Scott Aerospace, Babcock, and TVS, where we have successfully completed vital contracts including the MaST programme, MET Lot 3, and direct repair contracts with the MOD. Our capabilities extend beyond standard repair services—we specialise in offering comprehensive refurbishment and modernisation services for obsolete and aging equipment, ensuring that Naval fleets remain operational and effective. This focus on extending the life of existing systems is critical in the Naval sector, where the cost and time involved in procuring new equipment can be prohibitive.
Collaborative Approach with Key Industry Partners
Our collaborative approach allows us to work with some of the most respected names in the industry. By partnering with Babcock, Thales, Atlas, and Rolls Royce, we design and build custom solutions tailored to the unique requirements of the Naval sector. Whether designing new prototypes or redesigning obsolete systems, our team handles every aspect of the process. We take pride in retrofitting components into in-service systems, which requires a deep understanding of both legacy equipment and modern operational standards. This expertise ensures we can bring older equipment up to current operational standards, providing clients with innovative and reliable solutions that maximise efficiency and functionality.
In-House Capabilities for Superior Solutions
One of our key strengths is our ability to build and service all equipment entirely in-house. This sets us apart from many competitors and allows us to maintain complete control over quality and performance. Our in-house approach also makes us highly responsive to client needs. This responsiveness makes us the first call for engineers in the Naval sector when custom projects arise. A prime example is our work with Babcock on landing craft. We designed a custom-built 100kVA transformer to meet strict size constraints. The transformer was engineered to be disassembled and rebuilt within an engine room, accessible only through a hatch onboard. This project shows our ability to deliver tailored solutions to complex challenges in Naval projects. Space, accessibility, and reliability are often critical factors, and we meet these challenges with innovative solutions.
Comprehensive Electrical Services for Naval Vessels
In addition to our transformer solutions, we offer a range of essential electrical services for Naval vessels. Our motor rewind services are a key offering that ensures the reliability and efficiency of electrical motors onboard. We understand that motor performance is vital to the operation of Naval vessels. Our rewind services are carried out with precision and care to guarantee optimal performance. Our experienced engineers have the skills and knowledge to rewind motors of all sizes. This ensures they meet the rigorous demands of Naval operations.
State-of-the-Art Testing Facilities in Liverpool, United Kingdom
Our in-house facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which allows us to provide comprehensive testing and quality assurance for all our products. Every piece of equipment that we produce undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that it meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. Our testing processes are designed to simulate the harsh conditions that our products will face in real-world Naval environments, ensuring that they are fit for purpose and capable of delivering reliable performance. We believe that this commitment to quality is one of the reasons why we are a trusted partner for so many organisations in the Naval sector.
