Top industry owners and managers are well aware of the significance of investing in an energy-efficient transformer. When it comes to dealing with energy, they know, that saving energy is creating it.
Transformers are the most important part of the modern electrical distribution network. With an outstanding average efficiency above 97%, their smooth working ensures industries keep running 24×7. The efficiency of such an effective machine should be the top priority.
Despite that around 40-50% of the total distribution and transmission losses are due to ineffective transformers. So, let’s get to know more about energy-efficient transformers.
What are energy-efficient transformers?
During the electricity distribution from power stations to commercial and residential units, transformers play a key role. After the transmission lines, transformers are the main cause of energy losses. Up to 5% of the total energy can be lost depending upon the efficiency of the transformer.
Energy-efficient transformers are specially engineered with high-performing design and superior grade materials to reduce energy losses. With low maintenance costs and longer service life energy, efficient transformers are the new age solutions for electricity transmission.
Energy-efficient transformers are designed and manufactured according to the specifications of BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency). ‘The star rating’ plan by the government of India classified transformers into 1 star to 5star categories. 5star transformers are the most energy-efficient.
The general life of a transformer is 30-40 years. With minimal losses, a 5star rated transformer can save a substantial amount of energy and financial resources in its lifetime.
Conventional Vs Energy Efficient Transformers
Here’s a quick comparison between the old and new types of transformers.
Characteristics |
Conventional Transformer |
Energy efficient Transformer |
Core Design |
Composed of multiple pair of coils |
Composed of a single coil |
Size |
Large in size due to multiple windings |
Small in size, has only one winding |
Material & Space |
Requires more material and space |
Uses up less material and space |
Efficiency |
Less efficient |
Far more efficient |
Current |
