Metglas® Amorphous Metal Materials for Distribution Transformers

Overview

Amorphous Transformers

Metglas® amorphous metal material is the earth-friendly high-technology material for distribution transformers that can reduce no-load loss (standby electricity) in distribution transformers to about one-third the level compared to those using grain-oriented electrical steel.

Hitachi Metals supplies this material in wide ribbon forms (142 mm, 170 mm, and 213 mm) suitable for distribution transformer core manufacturing. Newly developed Metglas® amorphous metal material 2605HB1M has been introduced. Distribution transformers using 2605HB1M show lower size, lower weight, and lower audible noise compared to those using 2605SA1.
