Example of Benefit Estimation
Below is a comparison example for a single‑phase 200 kVA distribution transformer typically used in buildings and offices in Japan, illustrating the potential benefits of adopting Amorphous transformers.
| Amorohpus3) | Conventional4) | |
| Phase | 1 | |
| Rated Capacity (kVA) | 200 | |
| Frequency (Hz) | 50 | |
| No‑Load Loss (W) | 60 | 207 |
| Load Loss (W) | 2,500 | 1,589 |
| Load Factor (%) | 155) 6) | |
| Total Loss at 15% Load (W) | 116 | 243 |
| Loss Reduction by Amorphous Transformer (W) | 127 | |
| Loss Reduction by Amorphous Transformer (%) | 52 | |
| Average High‑Voltage Electricity Tariff (¥/kWh) | 19.917) | |
| Annual Electricity Cost Due to Transformer Losses | 20,232 | 42,382 |
| Annual Electricity Cost Reduction by Amorphous Transformer (¥/year) | 22,150 | |
| Annual Electricity Cost Reduction by Amorphous Transformer (%) | 52 | |
| CO₂ Emission Factor (kgCO₂/kWh) | 4228) | |
| Annual CO₂ Emissions (kgCO₂/year) | 429 | 898 |
| Annual CO₂ Reduction by Amorphous Transformer (kgCO₂/year) | 469 | |
| Annual CO₂ Reduction by Amorphous Transformer (%) | 52 | |
By simply improving transformer efficiency—by adopting amorphous transformers—you can simultaneously reduce electricity costs from power losses and lower environmental impact.

Transformers operate 365 days a year—so the energy‑saving impact is enormous.
CO₂ reduction starts here.
Simply choosing an amorphous transformer is a choice that protects the planet.
