HOW STAR RATING TRANSFORMERS HELP BUSINESSES REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Star-rating transformers refer to transformers that are assigned energy efficiency ratings based on a star-rating system. This system is undertaken mainly to indicate the efficiency levels of the transformer based on established parameters, which are implemented by a regulatory body authorised by the government of the country or region. The star-rating system usually ranges from 1 to 5-star rating system, with 5 being the indicator of higher levels of efficiency. The rating system is usually based on transformers' ability to minimise energy losses during the conversion and distribution of electrical power. The transformer device can also achieve a high rating by incorporating design features, superior materials, winding techniques, optimised circuitry, reduced resistance etc. These design enhancements result in reduced core losses and overall improvement of performance, which leads to lower power consumption. With the implementation of this system, companies adhere to its guidel...
