DoE Transformer Revisions Spur Industry Innovation
“Transformer energy performance standards being introduced all around the world are spurring transformer manufacturers, as well as their electrical steel, cable and coil winding equipment suppliers, to rethink materials, designs and manufacturing methods in a bid to balance performance with cost.” – Manufacturing Tomorrow
When the U.S. became the first market in the world to enact legislation on energy performance in 2010, it initiated a shockwve of global energy regulations that are transforming the future of the transformer industry.
In a recent article published by Manufacturing Tomorrow, specialists in the transformer industry from the EU discuss the recent accomplishments and their take on the future of the industry’s path to innovation that was spurred by U.S. DoE regulations five years ago. These regulations have since caused leading transformer manufacturers such as Japan, the EU, and Europe to follow suit in developing their own energy standards for industrial transformers, with major players like China and India making their own recommendations to utilities as well.
One thing is certain: Corefficient has already proved to be up to the challenge of increased energy regulations by not only manufacturing a product that adheres to the latest DoE regulations and specifications, but by maintaining a continuous commitment to innovation and electrical transformer efficiency in the communal effort toward global sustainability.
