🌍 Introducing MagPole™ — Reinventing the Power Pole for a Resilient, Electrified Future

We are proud to unveil MagPole™, the newest member of our MagPower™ Solid-State Transformer (SST) family — a pole-integrated power solution redefining how energy is distributed, controlled, and secured.

The article explains that the root cause for the price increase are the cost of #poles, #transformers and safeguarding that infrastructure against future disasters.

U.S. utilities are now trying to catch up, spending more than $10 billion a year replacing aging transmission lines.

Shannon Osaka @shannonosaka.bsky.social · 5d

A new, somewhat controversial study argues that over the past 5 years, places with the largest electricity demand growth -- including states with exploding numbers of data centers -- have actually seen falling rates.

I wrote about some of the complexities:

There are smart ways and solutions to mitigate these grid deficiencies using solid state transformers based on magnetic concrete

MagPole™ transforms the traditional utility pole into a smart, efficient, and fire-safe power node
• Affordable, scalable, and rapidly deployable
• Drastically reducing fire risk during wildfire seasons.
• Empowering rural and remote communities electrification.

🧱In a world where infrastructure and intelligence converge, even the construction industry now has a hand in shaping the grid through concrete. While traditional magnetics remain bound by the size limits of bulk ferrite and nanocrystalline cores, we use these materials instead as aggregates.

While traditional magnetics remain bound by the size limits of bulk ferrite and nanocrystalline cores, we use these materials instead as aggregates within pre-casted devices, creating magnetizable structures of virtually unlimited scale.

Solid state power will rewrite the rules of infrastructure

And hyperscalers are poised to lead the way.

Transformers don’t need electrical steel anymore but magnetic concrete. At least this piece can be resolved.

Our 3.15 MVA #MagPower SST redefines power:
⚡ Up to 97% smaller footprint
⚡ 80% lighter (just 1.4 t incl. enclosure)
⚡ Smart, solid-state, oil-free

Together with @Holcim’s #CPC for the enclosure👇🏻, we’re building transformers that scale as fast as #AI infrastructure.

Only single-module SST can. Magnetizable concrete precasted.

Mauricio Esguerra @mesguerrab.bsky.social · Aug 30

This is how we are addressing this to scale production of magnetizable concrete SST.

Mauricio Esguerra @mesguerrab.bsky.social · Aug 22

🚀 A power revolution – Lighter, faster, cleaner, and scalable. A transformer for the future of electrification.

🍣 Inside-out design – MagPower™ isn’t just smaller, it’s built differently. Using castable magnetizable concrete, we can mold the core like any other pre-casted part, making it inherently scalable and easy to manufacture.

🌱 More efficient & sustainable – By replacing tons of iron with advanced magnetic materials, we cut copper and core usage, improving efficiency and reducing environmental footprint.

Mauricio Esguerra @mesguerrab.bsky.social · Aug 22

From legacy transformers to conventional SSTs and now to MagPower™, the shift in power technology is undeniable:

⚡ More compact – Wide-bandgap semiconductors enable much higher switching frequencies, which means dramatically smaller magnetic components.

MagPower high-frequency transformer (30 kHz, 1 MVA) made of MC60 magnetizable concrete, the soft magnetic composite with the lowest LCF (Loss Cost Factor) in the market. Our devices are scalable by using conventional pre-casting automated equipment.

Mauricio Esguerra @mesguerrab.bsky.social · Aug 19

Good piece on upcoming transformer tech. #MagPower isn’t mentioned: we build #SSTs with single-module magnetic concrete transformers at price parity with legacy transformers. Conventional SSTs mentioned here need multiple modules, making them uncompetitive.

Is Steinmetz Holding Us Back?

For decades, magnetic loss analysis has leaned on log–log slopes 📉 — flattening rich physics into a single “magic exponent.”

By switching to the loss factor tan⁡δ/μ— normalized losses in the linear domain — a hidden peak 🎯 appears:

Comparing magnetic materials across various vendors can be challenging. While technical performance is one consideration, cost differences also significantly influence selection.

🆕 Introducing the Loss Cost Factor (#LCF), a figure of merit which integrates these factors into a single parameter.

Many thanks for your feedback. This video explains how the natural magnetic field flow does largely improve efficiency to >99.6% by reducing transformer losses 10x.

Imagine conventional #transformers as traditional sushi rolls: rice (magnetic material) wrapped in nori (windings). #Magment flips this approach, embedding windings within the magnetic core, similar to an inside-out sushi roll resulting in a compact transformer.

An important milestone. But wireless charging without a magnetic fundament is like a garden house without a spray gun.
