Abstract
The design and construction of an industrial 25 kHz, 600 kVA power unit with pancake coils are discussed. Criteria for specifying the rated power of the transformer and a comparison with grain-oriented Si-steel transformers are presented. It is shown that the main advantages of using amorphous alloys in this frequency range, in comparison with grain oriented Si-steel cores, are lower first and total costs of the unit for the same output power, higher efficiency values, and reduction of the weight of the transformer.<>
