8H.1 Percentage Steels of LCC-Selected Transformers by Design Line 

The following tables present the frequency with which each of the core steels were purchased by 

the LCC at each of the trial standard levels. Each of these percentages represents 10,000 

consumer choices, based on the reference LCC scenario input conditions. These percentages 

represent frequency of selection, not a percentage of total mass of core steel selected. For a 

discussion on the different types of core steel used in DOE’s analysis, see TSD Chapter 5.
