An amorphous metal transformer (AMT) is a type of energy efficient transformer found on electric grids. The magnetic core of this transformer is made with a ferromagnetic amorphous metal. ... The high resistance and thin foils lead to low losses by eddy currents when subjected to alternating magnetic fields.
Which are the advantages of amorphous core transformer?
Advantages of Amorphous Metal Transformers (AMT) Lower no-load loss. As the no-load loss is lower, the temperature rise of transformer is lower. Better harmonic wave tolerances. Potential for lower total cost of ownership.May 12, 2017
Which of the following is a characteristic of amorphous core transformer?
Amorphous core transformers are manufactured using ferromagnetic amorphous metal formed into thin foils. Their higher resistance and thinner foils have been proven to lead to low losses and better resistance to harmonic wave.May 12, 2017
