Amorphous Cores

 



Applications:

  • Distribution and power transformers
  • Motors
  • High frequency inductors
  • Current transformers
  • Devices requiring high permeability and low loss at low frequencies
Benefits:
  • Extremely low core loss – less than 0.29 w/kg at 60 Hz, 1.35 Tesla, or 40% of the core loss of grade M3 electrical steel (core loss at 50 Hz is approximately 80% of 60 Hz values). This is for finished cores.
  • High permeability
