BRUSH All transformers supplied by BRUSH have the CE marking on the transformer rating plate as a sign of compliance. The no load and load losses are also indicated on our transformer rating plates. Tier 2 is due to be enforced in July 2021 which will require all new transformers to be a further 10% efficient. However, BRUSH already supply transformers with Tier 2 efficiency to DNO's within a framework agreement. BRUSH Transformers met this requirement in 2016 in advance of its enforcement date of 2021. BRUSH Transformers use high quality electrical steel with Hi-B material and efficient flux...
