Abstract :
The ferromagnetic properties of recently developed amorphous metal alloys present an opportunity to significantly reduce the excitation losses of distribution transformers. Losses of these materials are on the order of 25% to 35% of conventional electrical steels at equivalent inductions. Before the benefits of this advantage can be realized, the unique characteristics of amorphous metal alloys must be taken into account.
