The transformer characteristics of "Orientcore HI-B"

"Orientcore HI-B" is a newly developed electrical steel, and has lower iron loss than conventional oriented steel. Owing to the perfectness of Goss texture, HI-B has larger iron loss than conventional electrical steel in the crossrolling direction of the steel. Experimental results for model transformers show that the effect of the increased crossrolling direction loss is practically negligible, except for the 90°-joint lamination core.
