Is Your Power System Running at Peak Efficiency?

As an electrical engineer specializing in power distribution for over 15 years, I've seen firsthand how transformer performance hinges on one critical component: high-quality transformer copper. After testing numerous conductor materials, INT Transformer Copper consistently delivers superior electrical and mechanical properties. Here's why major utilities now specify INT copper for their most demanding applications.

Why Does Transformer Copper Quality Matter?

Inferior conductor materials create three serious problems:

1. Energy Losses - Up to 15% higher I²R losses with substandard copper

2. Thermal Stress - Reduced thermal conductivity leads to hotspot formation

3. Premature Failure - Impurities accelerate insulation degradation

INT Transformer Copper solves these issues with:

1. 99.99% pure electrolytic copper (ASTM B115 compliant)

2. Optimized grain structure for maximum conductivity

3. Oxygen-free formulation to prevent oxidation

How Does INT Outperform Standard Copper?

Our laboratory tests reveal significant advantages:

These properties translate to lower operating costs and extended transformer life.

Key Applications for Premium Transformer Copper
