Reduce eddy current losses.
Why transformer cores are laminated.
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.
The core of any transformer is laminated for the following reasons.
The iron core transformer has higher permeability thus it is applied in transformer in place of air core in modern transformer.
It is however a conducting loop that experiences a changing magnetic field it will therefore have small current induced in it.
To control it s weight regulate the energy loss due to eddy currents increase the formation secondary voltage.
Laminated magnetic core reduces eddy currents.
Eddy current is induced in core and circulates normal to the width of the core causing heat.
But a solid iron core has some own disadvantage due to to some losses.
Why iron core is thin laminated in transformer.
Why is the core of a transformer laminated.
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.
The figure below displays side view of transformer core where the eddy current flow in a solid and laminated core is indicated with red colored lines.
These are called eddy currents.
Why a transformer core is laminated.
A transformer core is laminated to.
For this reason electrically isolated laminations are utilized to manufacture transformers.
The core is not designed to have any currents flow through it.

Hello this question is related to my school project assignment i would like what happens when a core of transformer is laminated.
Does it depend core size and material.
