What is CRGO transformer?

CRGO is the abbreviation for Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Steel, which is used in particular to laminate any heavy transformer as a core. CRGO steel has exceptionally high mechanical elasticity and magnetic properties in the rolling direction.

What is the maximum capacity of amorphous core type transformer?

The main application of AMTs are the grid distribution transformers rated at about 50–1000 kVA.

What is the full name of CRGO?

It is used for the cores of power and distribution transformers, cold-rolled grain-oriented steel is often abbreviated to CRGO.

Which of the following is a characteristic of amorphous core transformer?

Compared to conventional transformers, amorphous core transformers have- low core losses, low magnetising current, less zero sequence current, less noise, higher inrush current, more harmonic problem, bigger size, higher initial cost, higher efficiency, and longer life.

Where is CRGO used?

It is used for the cores of power and distribution transformers, cold-rolled grain-oriented steel is often abbreviated to CRGO. CRGO is usually supplied by the producing mills in coil form and has to be cut into “laminations”, which are then used to form a transformer core, which is an integral part of any transformer.

How CRGO steel is made?

CRGO is usually supplied by the producing mills in coil form and has to be cut into “laminations”, which are then used to form a transformer core, which is an integral part of any transformer. Grain-oriented steel is used in large power and distribution transformers and in certain audio output transformers.

Which is in the following are the disadvantage of amorphous core transformer in Mcq?

Disadvantages of amorphous metal in the transformer The larger cross-section of the core is required for same power and rating of silicon steel lamination. this is due to less useable peak magnetic field intensity in the amorphous core. Also causes added weight and size.

Which is better in CRGO and Crngo?

CRGO steel is always preferred over CRNO steel owing to their significantly lower core loss value. CRGO is available in 0.27 mm as compared to higher thicknesses of CRNO steel. However, there are only a limited number of CRGO steel producer across globe and CRNO producer are in plenty making it a cheaper steel.
