016 DOE Manufacturer Implications Manufacturers will need to revise most of their active catalog numbers before 1 1 2016 to meet requirements The new efficiency levels will shift some raw material usage to amorphous cores. There may be new manufacturing challenges for many manufacturers in terms of design, manufacturing, or material procurement.
2016 DOE Consumer Implications Transformer weights will change Depends greatly on specific customer designs & specific product designs, but in general Increase in core/coil weight Decrease in fluid volume (core/coil displacement) Overall weight increases slightly Dimensions don t appear to change dramatically Transformer costs and prices will increase Estimates of a 5 15% price increase over the previous efficiency standard for qualifying 3 phase transformers Actual price increases are a function of what customers are paying today, movements in the materials markets, and are design specific.

Why Choose a Less-Flammable Fluid-Filled Transformer What Happened to the Indoor Liquid Filled Transformer? PCB insulated transformers were the indoor transformer of choice until the mid 1970 s. Fears developed regarding replacement fluids Environmental concerns What was the EPA going to ban next? Some transformer manufacturers leaped from the frying pan into the fire Introduced non flammable alternatives Freon Tetrachloroethylene (dry cleaning fluid) Fire Safety Concerns Operational Concerns
Why Choose a Less-Flammable FR3 Fluid-Filled Transformer What Did You Give Up? Higher efficiency / lower losses Greater overload capability Greater contamination resistance Higher BIL s Smaller footprint Lower temperature operation Lower noise levels Full diagnostic capabilities Longer life Dramatic cost savings
