As the widespread use of electricity began in Europe and America, one particular became quite apparent: long-distance transmission. Thomas Edison was an advocate of DC power, but his passion was overtaken by AC power’s ability to “step-up and step-down”.

Transformers played an instrumental role in popularizing electricity, as it allowed long-distance transmission, eliminating the need for setting up power plants at all localities.

The generation of electricity is one of the major drivers of Global Warming. The demand for more Mega-Watts is rising every year, and the only way left to tackle the associated carbon and greenhouse emissions is through highly efficient devices.

Since January 1st, 2016 the US Department of Energy has enforced a fresh set of guidelines for Power Transformers with respect to their energy efficiency with the prime goal of reducing their carbon footprint. Greenhouse gases have wrecked the environment in more than one ways while inefficient appliances especially those linked with power have only made the conditions worse.

How Can Hammond Transformers Save You Energy Costs?

For almost a century, Hammond Power Solutions have been leading the world in the field of magnetic transformer design and fabrication, offering products that are highly efficient, safe, and comply with the highest of industrial standards. In recent years, there has been has a heavy focus on strict energy efficiency standards for transformers in North America. The motivator behind these standards has been minimization of power losses and to address current environmental concerns.
