Minimize power transformers’ noise & vibration with Amorim T&D solutions
Power transformers are often installed near residential areas, where strict noise requirements have been introduced. This has intensified the need to produce equipment that not only guarantees good long-term performance but also achieves greater vibration control and consequent noise reduction. It is often said that “j…
Where is cork used in a power transformer?
The versatility of cork solutions can be a game-changer in ensuring efficiency, reliability, and longevity of power transformers.
Electrical transformers play an essential role in power distribution networks and are crucial components in the electricity infrastructure.
Due to their importance, replacing a transformer can be a complex and costly process, as well as resulting in interruptions to the power supply. It is therefore vital to ensure that transformers have a long operating life and continue to work efficiently over time, which makes it essential to achieve strict control of…
