Why iron core of transformer laminated.

The iron core transformer has higher permeability thus it is applied in transformer in place of air core in modern transformer. Decrease the reluctance of the magnetic path. 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 purpose of providing an iron core in a transformer is to.

I would like to know why core of transformer is laminated. Does it also depends on the size of core. Why is the core of a transformer is laminated. Why iron core is thin laminated in transformer.

Eddy current is induced in core and circulates normal to the width of the core causing heat. To control it s weight regulate the energy loss due to eddy currents increase the formation secondary voltage. The reason we laminate the iron cores in transformers is because we want to limit what are called eddy currents. 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. Why a transformer core is laminated. Reduce eddy current losses. Carbonyl iron powders are basically constituted of micrometer size spheres of iron coated in a thin layer of electrical insulation.

This is equivalent to a microscopic laminated magnetic circuit see silicon steel above hence reducing the eddy currents particularly at very high frequencies.
