Cutting and Wear

Through a site evaluation, voltage profile measurement and analysis of the sites electrical characteristics, the Powerstar team recommended replacing the current HV distribution transformer with a 800kVA Powerstar HV MAX – a super low-loss amorphous core transformer, with electronic dynamic voltage optimisation. Replacing the current transformer with the amorphous core model significantly reduced transformer losses (both iron and copper losses), providing the site with a more efficient and cost-effective transformer. The electronic-dynamic optimisation from Powerstar ensures significant savings can be made in addition to those from upgrading the transformer through optimising, cleaning and conditioning the incoming power supply.

The transformers used in the Powerstar HV MAX systems already exceed the Eco Design 2021 efficiency specifications, providing a highly efficient solution that provides greater returns on investment over the transformer’s lifespan in comparison to conventional low-loss transformers.
