Option 1 : 1 and 2 only

  • The staggering of butt joints avoids a continuous air gap as the flux can take a path from the neighboring layer at the joints.
  • At the same time, staggering maintains the mechanical strength of the core. The air gap also avoids magnetic saturation of the core.
  • Staggering of butt joints does not affect eddy currents. Eddy currents are reduced by laminations.


Hence statements 1 and 2 are correct.
