The need for more efficient transformer core materials, due to increased recognition by the loss reduction of electric utilities, has spurred the development of amorphous metal usage in transformer. The loss of amorphous core is one third to one fourth that of silicon steel at equivalent inductions 15KG and below. Thus, the substitution of amorphous metal for conventional silicon steel in a transformer core can reduce core loss by 75%. This paper describes the development trend, the manufacturing processes of amorphous core transformer and the characteristics of amorphous core transformer in comparison with those of silicon core transformer.

Aging test was done by loading back method for 20kVA amorphous core transformers manufactured by Hyosung Industries Co. and korea Electric Power Corporation. Iron losses, copper losses and insulation oil temperatures of the transfromers was measured for all the testing period. Expected life of amorphous core transformers on the basis of the degradation of the insulators was 46 years at 100% load, and 2.4 years at 130% load. Average temperature rising of transformer oil of amorphous core transformers was higher than that of silicon steel core transformers. Hence lowering the oil temperature by optimized design is needed for improving the expected life of the amorphous transformers.

A new Fe-based amorphous compound powder was prepared from Fe-Si-B amorphous powder by crushing amorphous ribbons as the first magnetic component and Fe-Cr-Mo metallic glassy powder by water atomization as the second magnetic component. Subsequently by adding organic and inorganic binders to the compound powder and cold pressing, the new Fe-based amorphous compound powder cores were fabricated. This new Fe-based amorphous compound powder cores combine the superior DC-Bias properties and the excellent core loss. The core loss of 500 kW/$m^3$ at $B_m$ = 0.1T and f = 100 kHz was obtained When the mass ratio of FeSiB/FeCrMo equals 3:2, and meanwhile the DC-bias properties of the new Fe-based amorphous compound powder cores just decreased by 10% compared with that of the FeSiB powder cores. In addition, with the increasing of the content of the FeCrMo metallic glassy powder, the core loss tends to decrease.

Co-based amorphous powder was produced by a new atomization process "Spinning Water Atomization Process (SWAP)", having rapid super-cooling rate. The composition of the alloys was ($(Co_{0.95}Fe_{0.05})_{1-x}Cr_x$)$_{75}Si_{15}B_{10}$ (x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075). The powders became the amorphous state even if particle size was up to about $500{\mu}m$. The coercive force of powders was about 0.35 - 0.7 Oe. Furthermore, Co-based amorphous powder cores with glass binders were made by cold-pressing and sintering methods. The initial permeability of the core in the frequency range up to 100 kHz was about 110, and the core loss at 100 kHz for Bm = 0.1 T was $350kW/m^3$.

In this study, we have fabricated amorphous FeZrBAg thin films with low core losses by using DC magnetron sputtering method. After deposition, rotational field annealing (RFA) method was performed in the dc field of 1.5 kOe. The amorphous FeZrBAg thin films produced by annealing at 35$0^{\circ}C$ was founded to have high permeability of 8680 at 100 MHz, 0.2 mOe, low coercivity of 0.86 Oe high magnetization of 1.5 T and very low core loss of 1.3 W/cc at 1 MHz, 0.IT respectively. Excellent soft magnetic properties in a amorphous FeZrBAg thin films in the present study are presumably the homogeneous formation of very fine bcc $\alpha$-Fe crystalline with the 8.2 nm in an amorphous FeZrBAg thin film matrix.

This study estimated experimentally the loss distribution caused by magnetic friction in magnetic parts of a superconductor flywheel energy storage system (SFES) to obtain information for the design of high efficiency SFES. Through the spin down experiment using the manufactured vertical shaft type SFES with a journal type superconductor magnetic bearing (SMB), the coefficients of friction by the SMB, the stator core of permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator (PMSM/G), and the leakage flux of the metal parts were calculated. The coefficients of friction by the stator core of PMSM/G in case of using Si-steel and an amorphous core were calculated. The energy loss by magnetic friction in the stator core of PMSM/G was much larger than that in the other parts. The level of friction loss could be reduced dramatically using an amorphous core. Energy loss by the leakage magnetic field was small. On the other hand, the energy loss could be increased under other conditions according to the type of metal nearby the leakage magnetic fields. In manufactured SFES, the rotational loss by the amorphous core was approximately 2 times the loss of the superconductor and leakage. Moreover, the rotational loss by the Si-steel core is approximately 3~3.5 times the loss of superconductor and leakage.

The aging characteristics of amorphous FeS178TBS113TSiS19T wound cores have been investigated as a function of aging temperature and time. The core losses(1.2T/60Hz) of amorphous wound cores dipped in transformer oil decrease in comparision with initial stage of aging test due to insulation of ribbon stacks by oil penetration. It is estimated that it takes 30 years or more for 10% increase in core losses (1.2T/60Hz) of amorphous wound cores aged at normal transformer running temperature(100$^{\circ}C$). So we condlude that the amorphous core is satisfactorily applicable to transformer.

For the amorphous F $e_{78}$ $B_{13}$S $i_{9-x}$G $e_{x}$ alloy, thermal analysis and measurements of the magnetic properties were carried out. As the content of Ge increased, the crystallization temperature was decreased and the Curie temperature was increased, and the tendencies were almost linear. The core loss of the amorphous alloy for x=1.7, field annealed at optimized condition, was 0.057 W/kg(l.0T, 60Hz), which was about 30% lower than that of no Ge added amorphous alloy (basic composition). Such a low core loss characteristics was thought to be caused by the lower coercive force and good squareness of B-H loop of the alloy.y.y.

This paper introduces a simple core loss calculation method for output filter inductor in pulse width modulation (PWM) DC-AC inverter. Amorphous C-core (AMCC-320) is used to analyze the core loss. In order to measure core loss of the output filter inductor and validate the proposed method, a single-phase half-bridge inverter and a calorimeter are used. By changing switching frequency and modulation index (MI) of the inverter, core loss of the AMCC-320 is measured with the lab-made calorimeter and the results are compared with calculated core loss. The proposed method can be easily extended to other core loss calculation of various converters.

The manufacturing process of the amorphous transformer core consists of winding, cutting, forming, annealing. Clamping of cores during this process are required for shape forming. Clamping of cores enhances the space factor, but degrades the magnetic properties and core loss characteristics of the cores. In this study, we investigated the optimal clamping pressure required in magnetic field annealing of 5 kVA amorphous transformer core.
