At the heart of every high-performance transformer lies a critical component: the core. And at the heart of core lies Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel (GO) —a material engineered for precision, efficiency, and reliability.
Oil‑Immersed
Most common for power and distribution. GO requires insulation coatings resistant to hot transformer oil (thermal stability up to 120°C+), high interlaminar resistance, and hydrolysis resistance.
Dry‑Type
Air‑cooled, used indoors or in fire‑sensitive areas. Coatings must withstand higher temperatures (class F/H insulation) and, for open environments, enhanced corrosion protection. Low‑loss GO maintains efficiency without liquid cooling.
Common Coating Need
Both benefit from insulation coatings that preserve low core loss after stress‑relief annealing.
