ABSTRACT

This introduction report is focused on the issue of increasing energy efficiency in
the power systems by minimizing energy loss using amorphous metal transformers
instead of cast resin transformers. The physics principles which account for why
amorphous metal transformers have lower energy loss is reviewed. An example of
replacing a cast resin transformer with an amorphous metal transformer is given
and discussed. The results of this report can serve as a useful reference for wider
use of amorphous metal transformers in the future.

Keywords: Amorphous Metal Transformer, Cast Resin Transformer
