Why Use Laminated Cores In Electromagnets

Laminated core is a rectangular shaped type of soft magnetic core.

Why use laminated cores in electromagnets.

These insulation layers serve as barriers to prevent eddy current so that it can flow only through the narrow loops within each single lamination layer. Which has been specially designed to carry large input and output power transmissions since loss due to eddy currents is less. Another is true ac electromagnets made of laminated electrical steel core lamination. A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets transformers electric motors generators inductors magnetic recording heads and magnetic assemblies it is made of ferromagnetic metal such as iron or ferrimagnetic compounds such as ferrites.

While applying ac voltage true ac electromagnets generate alternate magnetic field. Laminated magnetic cores are made of stacks of thin iron sheets coated with an insulated layer which lie parallel to the lines of flux. One is dc electromagnets with built in ac to dc converters rectifiers. A laminated core 10 including a plurality of segment core sheets 13 spirally wound and laminated in layers while connecting portions 12 connecting the adjacent segment core sheets 13 are bent ends of the segment core sheets 13 are aligned with each other and the connecting portions 12 in the adjacent layers are circumferentially displaced relative to each other the connecting portions 12.

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.

The core is not designed to have any currents flow through it.
