China's amorphous transformer market demand will increase

The production of amorphous alloy transformers consumes more amorphous alloy strips, and the amorphous alloy transformer manufacturing process is also more complex, resulting in higher manufacturing costs. According to the current prices of raw materials and manufacturing hours, the market price of amorphous alloy transformers is about 30% more expensive than that of silicon steel s9 transformers of the same grade.

The amorphous strip is mainly used as an alternative transformer core material (silicon steel, ferrite) and belongs to a new generation of transformer cores. Transformer frequency can be divided into frequency frequency (50hz or 60hz), intermediate frequency (60hz to 20khz), high frequency (20khz and above), the corresponding application of a switching power supply transformer (large and medium power main transformer, control transformer, filter inductor , Energy storage inductors, reactors, magnetic amplifiers and saturable reactor cores, inductor cores, isdn miniature isolation transformer cores, transformer cores, aviation transformers, railway control system transformers, machinery parts quenching equipment transformers, laser power supplies transformer. The narrow-band amorphous strips are mainly used in products such as medium-frequency and high-frequency power transformers, which have limited market space and maintain regular growth. Broadband amorphous strips are mainly used in the field of power transformers, especially the application of distribution transformers.

Champ Consulting industry analysts pointed out that the manufacture of amorphous alloy transformers consumes more amorphous alloy strips, while the amorphous alloy transformer manufacturing process is also more complex, and thus the manufacturing cost is high. According to the current prices of raw materials and manufacturing hours, the market price of amorphous alloy transformers is about 30% more expensive than that of silicon steel s9 transformers of the same grade.

Amorphous Alloy Strip Cost Composition

On November 20th, 2012, the Ministry of Finance issued the “Implementation Regulations for the Promotion of Energy-Saving Products Huimin Engineering High-Efficiency Energy-Saving Distribution Transformers”. The price of amorphous alloy transformers after subsidy is the same as that of silicon steel transformers such as s11, and the demand for amorphous alloy transformers is expected to increase substantially. increase. Starting in 2014, amorphous alloy strips will no longer be a limiting factor. With the advancement of technology, the cost of amorphous alloy strips is expected to be lower than that of silicon steel.

The "2014-2018 China Amorphous Transformer Industry Market Analysis and Investment Prospects Report" released by Shangpu Consulting shows that although the initial purchase price of amorphous alloy transformers is more expensive than that of ordinary silicon steel s9 transformers, if amorphous alloys are taken into account, The transformer has lower running losses. After the transformer has been operating for a certain period of time (usually about 5 years), the transformer's energy saving benefit can be higher than that of the silicon steel transformer at the time of purchase.

According to the calculation of the demand for amorphous transformers in the power grid, based on an amorphous transformer of 315 kVA, the demand for amorphous strips in China in 2014-2018 was 81,100, 112,400, 141,100, 193,500 and 227,500 respectively. Ton.
