Reduce eddy current losses.
Why iron core of transformer laminated.
I would like to know why core of transformer is laminated.
Decrease the reluctance of the magnetic path.
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.
Does it depend core size and material.
To control it s weight regulate the energy loss due to eddy currents increase the formation secondary voltage.
Why iron core is thin laminated in transformer.
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.

Why is the core of a transformer is laminated.
The iron core transformer has higher permeability thus it is applied in transformer in place of air core in modern transformer.
Hello this question is regarding one of my school projects assignments.
This is equivalent to a microscopic laminated magnetic circuit see silicon steel above hence reducing the eddy currents particularly at very high frequencies.
Carbonyl iron powders are basically constituted of micrometer size spheres of iron coated in a thin layer of electrical insulation.
Hello this question is related to my school project assignment i would like what happens when a core of transformer is laminated.
Transformers are basically two coils of wire wrapped around a core of iron.
Iron core is thin laminated in transformer to avoid the loss of eddy current.
Does it also depends on the size of core.
Provide support to windings.
Eddy current is induced in core and circulates normal to the width of the core causing heat.
