Although the cores made with amorphous metal alloy have lowered no-load losses compared with the orientation silicon steel cores, a high cost and noise level are inevitable because the magnetostriction for amorphous metal alloy strip is larger than the ordinary one. This study mainly focused on the experimental systems and methods for magnetic properties measurement, vibration characteristics and noise level of amorphous alloy strip and combinations. The vibration characteristics and noise level of amorphous alloy composite strip were also studied. The influence of the annealing process on magnetic energy, vibration characteristics and noise level of amorphous alloy core were analysed in detail as well. All the testing results and analysis above are helpful for the transformer manufacturers, and they can replace the expensive amorphous alloy metal strip with the combinations to reduce the noise and cost of the cores.
