Energy efficient transformer
In a typical power tae grid, electric transformer tae tae tae taet ate tae tae tae of the total transmission and distribution loss. Energy efficient transformers are therefore an important means to reduce transmission and distribution loss.[1] With the improvement of electrical steel (silicon steel) properties, the losses of a transformer in 2010 can be half that of a similar transformer in the 1970s[citation needed]. With new magnetic materials, it is possible to achieve even higher efficiency. The amorphous metal transformer is a modern example.[2]
