Advantages of Amorphous Core Transformers over Transformers with CRGO Silicon Steel:
Low Eddy Current Losses. The thickness of Amorphous Metal is 0.025mm which results in lower eddy current loss.
Less No-Load losses. Due to the random atom structure of the amorphous metal, friction is reduced when a magnetic field is applied compared to CRGO. This allows easy magnetization and demagnetization which significantly lowers hysteresis losses, thus amorphous core significantly reduces core losses which is about 65-75%.
Environmental Benefits. Due to the energy savings, there are significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions of CO2 and SO2
Reduced Aging of Transformer Insulation. Lower temperature rise, slower deterioration of insulations and hence longer life.
Decreased Total Ownership Cost. Although initial investment will be higher, the total ownership cost over the transformer's average lifespan of 25-30 years will be significantly lower than that of CRGO Transformers. This is based on operational and maintenance costs.
