25-kVA Amorphous Metal-Core Transformer Developmental Test Report.

摘要

Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory (NCEL) has completed a test and evaluation program for 25-kVA amorphous metal-core transformers. These transformers save energy by reducing no-load losses by 60 to 70 percent. No-load losses are estimated to cost the Navy millions annually and if all of the Navy transformers were replaced by amorphous metal-core transformers, the Navy would save millions a year. The program objective was to evaluate the electrical performance and operational reliability of the amorphous metal-core transformers compared to conventional silicon-steel transformers.
