Upgraded Amorphous Oil-immersed Transformer

Upgraded Amorphous Oil-immersed Transformer  Amorphous alloy transformer is a kind of power transformer with low loss and high energy efficiency. This kind of transformer uses iron-based amorphous metal as the iron core, because the material does not have a long-range ordered structure, its magnetization and demagnetization are easier than general magnetic materials. Therefore, the iron loss (that is, no-load loss) of the amorphous alloy transformer is 70-80% lower than that of the traditional transformer that generally uses silicon steel as the iron core. As losses fall, so does demand for power generation and emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Based on energy supply and environmental protection factors, amorphous alloy transformers are widely used in large developing countries such as China and India. Based on the power consumption of China and India, if amorphous alloy transformers are fully adopted in the distribution network, about 25-30TWh of power g…
