SH15 amorphous alloy power transformer

An amorphous alloy transformer uses a non‑crystalline metal (amorphous alloy) for its core instead of the conventional silicon steel core. This unique core material significantly reduces core losses and improves efficiency compared to traditional transformers.

Amorphous alloy cores provide much lower no‑load (core) losses, typically 70–80% lower than silicon steel cores, which leads to higher energy efficiency and reduced operational costs.

Transformers often run 24/7, and even at light load most losses come from the core. Reducing these losses with amorphous alloys can significantly cut electricity waste, lower utility bills, and reduce environmental emissions.

These transformers are widely used in power distribution networks, renewable energy systems (like solar and wind), industrial plants, commercial buildings, and utility grids where energy saving and efficient performance are required

SH15 series transformers typically support medium‑voltage distribution levels (e.g., up to 35 kV) and come in a range of power capacities from tens of kVA to several MVA, depending on project needs.

Because of lower losses, these transformers reduce total energy consumption and decrease CO₂ and other emissions associated with power generation, making them a more environmentally friendly choice.

Oil‑immersed models use insulating oil for cooling and thermal stability and are suitable for outdoor distribution, while dry‑type models are often epoxy‑cast and preferable for indoor installations requiring fire safety and low maintenance.

Amorphous alloy cores have high electrical resistance and low magnetic losses, resulting in lower heat generation and often a cooler running transformer, which can extend insulation life and improve reliability.

Yes. The advanced core material and manufacturing process typically make amorphous transformers more expensive upfront than conventional ones. However, long‑term energy savings can offset the higher initial investment.

Consider energy efficiency goals, total lifecycle cost, expected load profile, environmental targets (e.g., carbon reduction), and installation environment. Amorphous transformers are especially advantageous where low no‑load loss and energy savings are priorities.
