Energy is an increasingly precious resource. To ensure we have enough of it tomorrow new sources of energy generation and energy saving schemes are becoming more and more widespread. Amorphous metal core distribution transformers can make a real difference to improved utility economics and energy conservation saving both money and the environment.

• Save up to 75% of core losses

The core of the majority of today’s transformers is made of CRGO steel. When this is replaced by amorphous metal, the core loss of the transformer is reduced by as much as 75%. By reducing this common wastage Amorphous metal core transformers are reducing energy losses that occur when electricity is distributed from power plants through substations to factories and homes.

• What are amorphous metals?

Also known as metallic glass alloys, they differ from traditional metals in that they have a non-crystalline structure and possess unique physical and magnetic properties that combine strength and hardness with flexibility and toughness.

• Advantages of Amorphous metal core transformers:

• Up to 75% energy saving over conventional silicone steel (CRGO)

• Reduced carbon dioxide emissions

• Reduction in fossil fuel consumption

• Reduced magnetising current

• Reduced temperature rise of core
