        Electrical Properties of CRGO & Hi - B CRGO Grades 
 Core Loss details of popularly used CRGO steel
 Manufacturing mills of CRGO Steel guarantee the core loss figure at flux density of 1.5 Tesla in case
        of CRGO conventional grain oriented steel and at 1.7 Tesla in case of
        CRGO HI-B-Steel and CRGO HI-B-LS Steel.

                | Besides the Watt Losses at specific flux densities of 1.5 T and 
                1.7 T CRGO manufacturers also give curves of indicating Watt 
                Losses ad A.C. Magnetization at various flux densities. These 
                curves are of immense help to Transformer designers, and 
                available on request. 
 Conventional CRGO materials (M4, M5, M6) are used 
                regularly for cores in Transformers. However recently due to 
                environmental protection, energy savings are becoming a very 
                important factor and minimizing care loss in Transformers is 
                becoming a must. Nippon Steel Corporation has come out with low 
                loss Hi-B materials, which guarantee low Watt Losses at 1.5 
                Tesla flux density. Such materials are called Hi-B materials. 
                Table 3 gives magnetic properties of Hi-B material. Popular Hi-B 
                grades used in India are 23 MOH & 27 MOH Watt.

                | NOTE – Normally the CRGO tests should be performed at 50Hz. However, 
countries where power supply at 50 Hz is not available, testing may be carried 
out at 60 Hz and accordingly product shall conform to the specified values given 
in the above Table. However , in all such cases, the product shall also conform 
to the specified values of above Table of CRGO when tested in importing country 
having power supply at 50 Hz. 
 8.3 In the case of Epstein CRGO strips lamination, samples are sheared develop 
magnetic property at 780ºC to 840ºC. In the longitudinal to the rolling 
direction and then CRGO lamination stress case of single sheet test specimens, 
they shall not be relief annealed in a neutral or reducing atmosphere to heat 
treated.

                | NOTES 
                  Normally grain oriented steel CRGO tests should be performed at 50 Hz. 
However, countries where power supply at 50 Hz is not available, testing may be 
carried out at 60 Hz and accordingly product shall conform to the specified 
values given in the above Table. However, in all such cases,the CRGO product
shall also conform to the specified values of above Table of CRGO when tested in 
importing country having power supply at 50 Hz.High permeability CRGO grades may be delivered in domain refined condition 
(reference suffixd). The magnetic properties of some domain refined material may 
deteriorate when the material is subjected to heat treatment.In case where material gets deteriorated when subjected to heat treatment, the 
domain refined CRGO grades need to be checked by Single Sheet method as given in 
                  14.5 and as per IS649. For other CRGO lamination or cores grades /other types of 
domain refined CRGO grades which do not deteriorate when subjected to heat 
treatment, the test method shall be as Epstein as given in 14.1 and as per IS 
649 CRGO.  |
