Energy-Efficient Transformers In Ireland

Our energy-efficient transformers reduce no-load losses by up to 70%. At GBE Engineering Systems, our transformers are ahead of future Ecodesign requirements in Ireland.

Environmental awareness is one of the values that has led GBE Engineering Systems to develop increasingly efficient and high-quality power transformers.

One of our strengths is finding the best solution for our customers in Ireland. We take into account the field of application of the transformer and the workload. At GBE Engineering Systems, we can always guarantee a customised product that delivers energy and environmental savings.

Reducing Energy Losses & CO₂ Emissions For Transformers In Ireland

Although they are very efficient machines, transformers are responsible for about 30% of the losses in the transmission and distribution systems.

So, improving them further leads to a reduction in CO₂ emissions and running costs. In this context, the new European Ecodesign legislation sets requirements, a series of directives divided into two phases, which provide for the replacement of all transformers that are not up to standard.

Meeting European Ecodesign Requirements

According to the estimates of the European Commission, about 2.5% of the energy consumed in the continent comes from losses in transformers. The first phase of the regulations came into effect on 1 July 2015. The second phase will then come in 2021, where the parameters are much more restrictive.

Thanks to this action by the EU, about 16 TWh will be saved in a year, almost 3.7 tonnes of CO₂. The legislation is applicable starting from a minimum power of 1 kVA at 50 Hz for machines used in electrical transmission and in distribution, as well as industrial applications.

Transformers Designed For Energy Savings

GBE Engineering Systems transformers are already ahead of the future directive. Their machines are able to guarantee savings up to 50% compared to traditional transformers.

Among the various solutions, we find the amorphous metal core transformers, a material which allows the reduction of no-load losses by 70%, resulting in greater savings for the customer.

For every field of application, it is possible to find the best solution that can ensure performance and, at the same time, energy and cost savings.
