Eddy current can be reduced by using laminated cores.
Transformer core is laminated to reduce which loss.
A further improvement is a core made of amorphous metal alloys.
Reduce eddy current loss.
Ie the core is made up of thin sheets of steel each lamination being insulated from others.
Asked mar 24 2018 in physics by paayal 147k points the core of any transformer is laminated so as to a reduce the energy loss due to eddy currents b make it light weight.
A transformer core is laminated to a reduce hysteresis loss b reduce eddy current losses c reduce copper losses d reduce all above losses.
A transformer core built with crgo si steel laminations thereby reduces both losses.
Transformer iron lossis the combination of eddy current loss and hysterisis loss.
And alsobe reducing the thickness of the stampings.
In other words low reluctance should be retained.
A transformer core is laminated to.
In order to reduce the eddy current loss the resistance of the core should be increased.
If you employ inferior grade of laminated steel with poor magnetic properties then only eddy loss will be controlled but not hysteresis loss.
Reduce all above losses.
In devices like transformers the core is made up of laminations of iron.
