HGO - Transformers

High Grain-oriented (HGO) electrical steel is a key component in transformers.

Following our 2016 investment in a grain-oriented electrical steel production line, Aperam has the capability to produce both regular (RGO) and high-permeability (HGO) products. With ongoing research and advancements in our production processes, we are currently developing new grades with even lower losses.

Our key products

Grain Oriented Electrical Steels are the best choice for transformers, due to outstanding magnetic properties in the rolling direction. HGO grades present lower losses and higher magnetic induction when compared to regular grades (RGO)

Applications

Power transformers

Grain Oriented Electrical Steel is the best option for ultra efficient transformers

Power transformers

Offering low losses, high magnetic permeability and excellent magnetic properties, our GO steels are the material of choice for power transformers.

Distribution transformers

Grain Oriented Electrical Steel is the best option for ultra efficient transformers

Distribution transformers

Higher permeability, better energy efficiency and lower power consumption – GO steel enables smaller, more efficient transformers.

Dry type transformers
