| Presentation: |
US Department of Energy Transformer Efficiency Rules. US Dept of Energy transformer efficiency rules will take effect on Jan. 1, 2010. They will cover all distribution transformers and present a challenge to the transformer industry because they will require the use of higher grade core steel which is already in short supply. The new rules may severely impact the ability to obtain distribution transformers not to mention what they will do to the cost
