Option 3 : Magnetic core
Construction of Transformer Core:
- In all types of transformers, the core is constructed by assembling (stacking) laminated sheets of steel, with a minimum air gap between them (to achieve a continuous magnetic path).
- The steel used is having high silicon content and is sometimes heat-treated, to provide high permeability and low hysteresis loss. Laminated sheets of steel are used to reduce eddy current loss.
- The sheets are cut in the shape of E, I, and L. To avoid high reluctance at joints, laminations are stacked by alternating the sides of the joint.
- That is, if the joints of the first sheet assembly are at the front face, the joints of the following assembly are kept at the back face.
