Power transformers lose power even when in standby mode. To solve that problem, since 2003 we have been providing Metglas^™, an amorphous alloy that reduces standby power consumption to about one-third that in the case of conventional core materials (such as electromagnetic steel sheets) used for transformers.By providing core materials for amorphous transformers, the Proterial Group is aiming to contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions^* by approximately 50,000 tons per year (compared with the figure for conven-tional magnetic-steel transformers). In March 2020, we developed a new amorphous material called MaDC-A^™, which will contribute to further improving transformer efficiency.
