Luxembourg, Avenue de la Liberté: ArcelorMittal, steel producer, has developed a new intermediate class of grain oriented electrical steels (GOES), helping transformer manufacturers to meet environmental targets.

These improved conventional grain oriented steels will sit between the existing conventional and high permeability classes, helping manufacturers of transformers and transformer cores to achieve the right performance-cost balance.

“We’ve noticed a shift in purchasing decisions over the past few years – from a focus on initial outlay to overall lifetime cost.” says Sigrid Jacobs, portfolio director for electrical steels at ArcelorMittal Global R&D .“Customers want to have the best performance in terms of energy consumption, emissions and service life – especially for transformers that run continuously. Our improved conventional GOES offer an excellent solution.”
