Wilson - Model E2/E3 -Amorphous Transformers
Incorporating amorphous core technology, Wilson e3 transformers combine lowest no load and load losses that not only meet and exceed EU Eco Design requirements planned for 2021 [Tier 2], but setting new ambitious standards ahead of the curve for Tier3. The Wilson e3 is the most energy efficient distribution transformer available in the UK. With over 800 successful installations across the country (see location map below) of its predecessor the Wilson e2, our pioneering amorphous technology is tried and tested, helping organisations across a wide range of sectors save operating costs and lower emissions. Based on attractive total cost of ownership (TCO) calculations, an ever increasing number of clients are installing the Wilson e3 as part of longer term infrastructure investments that can deliver returns in excess of £100,000 over the lifetime of the transformer.
Our Wilson e3 amorphous transformer is the industry leading super low loss transformer product. It avoids energy wastage through transformer losses and helps organisations reduce their operating costs and their emissions. With significant energy savings over the lifetime of a transformer, total cost of ownership considerations are almost always favourable with a Wilson e3.
Wilson Power Solutions now hold finished stock of Tier 2 (EU Eco Design Directive) compliant ground mount distribution transformers, ready for next day (or 48h) express deliveries.
All stock transformers for next day /48h delivery are offered as ‘box-to-box’ type and come with the following base specification:
HV off load tap changer with additional tap setting (+/-2.5%, +/-5.0%, +7.5%), bottom entry HV cable box suitable for 1 x 3c cable, LV cable box suitable for 3 x 1c cable per phase and neutral.

Where you require additional accessories such as Oil Temperature Indicator (OTI), Winding Temperature Indicator (WTI), Magnetic Oil Gauge, Pressure Relief Device (PRD), or Conservator & Bucholz Relay, then lead times will extend out a little to 2 weeks depending on our production workload at the time. If you require MV or LV Switchgear on your transformer please contact us for a lead time to confirm details.
The cores of conventional transformers consist of stacks of lamination that are made from silicon steel with an almost uniform crystalline structure (CRGO). In transformers with amorphous cores, a ribbon of steel is wound forming the core.
The big benefit of amorphous metal core transformers is that amorphous steel has lower hysteresis losses. Simply put this means that less energy is wasted in magnetising and demagnetising it during each cycle of the supply current. The infrared pictures (left) illustrate this: The AMT core shows a lot less heat than the CRGO core.
Dispelling the myths surrounding Amorphous Metal TransformersLike any new technological development, there will always be doubters and critics. Amorphous Metal Technology is no different. It’s relatively new, and some argue untested. However, as pioneers of Amorphous Technology in the UK, Wilson Power Solutions have already witnessed how Amorphous Metal Transformers can bring great success to a business and our environment by helping to save both energy and money.
In order to dispel any myths surrounding Amorphous Metal Transformers, Wilson Power Solutions have responded with some truths which separate the facts from fiction. This evidence is not based on hearsay, but knowledge and experience within the industry itself.
