Transformers

High Temperature Superconductors turn power transformers into compact, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly performers. They are able to deliver high-quality power effectively. Their advantages are evidenced by an approximate 30% reduction in total losses and 45% weight reduction compared to conventional systems. HTS transformers can work with 10 to 30 times higher current densities than systems with conventional copper windings, making them considerably more compact. As they can be cooled by liquid nitrogen, fire hazards and environmental risks are drastically reduced compared to state-of-the-art oil-cooled transformers.
Due to these advantages, HTS transformers become attractive choices wherever size, weight, and operational safety are primary considerations, such as mobile applications in high-performance trains or substations in urban areas, where the effective use of expensive land and environmental issues are important factors.
