I would like to know why core of transformer is laminated.
Why iron core of transformer laminated.
Eddy current is induced in core and circulates normal to the width of the core causing heat.
Why a transformer core is laminated.
The reason we laminate the iron cores in transformers is because we want to limit what are called eddy currents.
Hello this question is related to my school project assignment i would like what happens when a core of transformer is laminated.

Why iron core is thin laminated in transformer.
The eddy currents cause energy to be lost from the transformer as they heat up the core meaning that electrical energy is being wasted as unwanted heat energy.
Decrease the reluctance of the magnetic path.
Reduce eddy current losses.
The core is laminated to reduce these to a minimum as they interfere with the efficient transfer of energy from the primary coil to the secondary one.
Does it also depends on the size of core.
This is equivalent to a microscopic laminated magnetic circuit see silicon steel above hence reducing the eddy currents particularly at very high frequencies.
To control it s weight regulate the energy loss due to eddy currents increase the formation secondary voltage.
Transformers are basically two coils of wire wrapped around a core of iron.
Why is the core of a transformer is laminated.
Hello this question is regarding one of my school projects assignments.
Carbonyl iron powders are basically constituted of micrometer size spheres of iron coated in a thin layer of electrical insulation.
The purpose of providing an iron core in a transformer is to.
Does it depend core size and material.
