Grain oriented electrical steel

The Core of Modern Transformers

Grain-oriented electrical steel is a crucial material in the production of energy-efficient transformers and large, high-performance generators. In the form of laminated, wound, or punched sheets, it is the essential core material of distribution transformers, power transformers, and small transformers.

Optimizing Performance and Efficiency

Transformer cores are made of magnetically soft materials (e.g., iron-silicon alloys) that can be easily magnetized. The quality of the material used has a considerable effect on its performance and efficiency in converting energy. The thinner the laminations of the transformer core, the fewer eddy currents are generated, and thus the lower the energy loss. Thin TOP Grades allow for the highest energy efficiency and reduced transformer size. High-performance coating leads to superior insulation properties and good workability.

Powering a Sustainable Future

Electric energy is the heartbeat of the energy transition, and GOES by thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel sets the rhythm and keeps it alive. By enhancing the efficiency of transformers, our products play a crucial role in reducing energy waste and supporting the integration of renewable energy sources. This not only helps in lowering greenhouse gas emissions but also ensures a reliable and more sustainable energy supply for future generations.
