Transformer Core

Disadvantages of Amorphous Core

Transformers
The brittleness property of amorphous metal has also make
it un-friendly to the transformer manufacturers.

Due to small thickness and low saturation factor limitations

present in making amorphous metals, larger core and
consequently larger coils and tank size are required as
compared to CRGO core transformers.

The amorphous metal saturates almost at 1.55 tesla whereas

CRGO steel saturates at almost 2.03 tesla. Thus amorphous
metal core-transformer results in increase of core size,
conductor, tank and insulating oil.

Overall cost of amorphous core transformer is approximate

20 to 30 per cent costlier than conventional core
transformers.
