More than ever, electric utilities and other users of distribution transformers are emphasizing sustainability and looking for technologies that can lower operating costs, improve energy savings, and reduce environmental impact. Amorphous metal distribution transformer (AMDT) is the product of choice to help achieve these important objectives. Amorphous metal is a unique alloy that exhibits a molecular arrangement that is random in structure, rather than the organized crystalline structure of

... GO core steel. Due to its unique molecular structure, amorphous metal cores are more readily magnetized and demagnetized when energized, resulting in significantly lower energy loss compared to CRGO steel. AMDT technology is considered mature and has been proven to be reliable. Distribution transformers containing amorphous metal cores were first made commercially available in the late 1980's. Since then over 1.3 million AMDT's have been installed worldwide.
