Application
Power Transformers: Excellent for distribution and power transformer cores; boasts very low core loss, high magnetic induction along the rolling direction and very high permeability, resulting in high efficiency.
Energy-Efficient Industrial Transformer: Medium to large industrial transformers with low energy loss and excellent magnetic performance.
Reactors and Chokes: Great for laminated cores in inductors and reactors, magnetic stability and low iron loss under continuous operation.
Renewable Energy Transformers: Transformer cores for wind turbines, solar inverters and other renewable energy devices, providing stable operation and energy-saving solutions.
Electrical Distribution Equipment: Switchgear, voltage regulators and industrial control transformers all benefit from their high stacking coefficient and superb magnetic stability.
