What have been the top distribution transformers technology trends during 2020?
The transformer industry has evolved considerably in recent times to meet the emerging requirements. With the changing paradigm, companies are more focusing towards new designs and features which help in lowering the costs and improving the asset life. The new framework of modernization in transformer also includes improvement in core material without hampering the safety level. The penetration of digital technology is also another step undertaken to meet the emerging requirements of utilities and adapt to the changing grid.

The latest ongoing or upcoming technologies in transformer segment are energy efficient transformers, smart transformers, 3D core transformers, dry type transformers, slim transformers, skid type transformers, ester oil transformers, amorphous core transformers, bigger rating transformers up to 10MVA in aluminium winding etc. A smart design mix of permutations and combinations of the above shall be required to enhance the efficiency of the distribution transformers while maintaining the quality and cost trade intact.

There has been a considerable improvement in the quality and types of raw material being used, along with changes in the process which are leading to minimising losses and expediting the production process.
