Indian steelmaker Tata Steel has announced that its transformer components manufacturer subsidiary Cogent Power has unveiled a range of sophisticated new electrical steel products which reduce electricity losses by 20 to 30 percent compared to conventional grain-oriented grades.

The new products are being made at Cogent Power's Orb works in Newport, South Wales. Orb produces cold rolled grain-oriented electrical steel for the manufacture of modern electricity transformers that are used to build and renew the world's major power networks. The Orb plant receives hot rolled coil made at the company's steelworks at IJmuiden in the Netherlands.

According to Tata Steel, these new high-grade products will make a significant contribution to the preservation of natural resources by reducing the energy lost in the generation and transmission of electricity.
