How do you select core in Transformer Design?

The material used in the manufacture of transformer cores must have a hysteresis loop with a very small area, as it is the area of the hysteresis loop that determines the hysteresis losses of the core material. The core material should also be resistive, in order to reduce eddy current losses (which is further improved by laminating the core). Many transformer manufacturers use their own variations on what is basically a silicon-steel.

A hysteresis curve, or loop, is a graph of flux density plotted against magnetising force, and basically describes the ease (or difficulty) with which the core material can be magnetised and demagnetised as the magnetising current changes magnitude and direction.

What Is a core-core type transformer?

A 'core type' transformer core is one in which the primary windings and secondary windings are placed around each of the limbs, as opposed to a 'shell type' core, in which the two windings are placed across the centre core. A core-type core is a magnetic circuit equivalent to an electric series circuit, whereas a shell-type core is equivalent to an electric parallel circuit. This is better answered with a diagram, so I suggest that you do a search on the internet.

How do you reduce core losses in distribution transformer?

Reducing core losses is a design responsibility of the manufacturer. They do this by laminating the core (to reduce eddy-current losses) and carefully selecting the type of material used for the core (to reduce hysteresis losses). There's very little that you, as the user, can do about reducing core losses.

The leakage flux of transformer depends on?

Actually it depends on the air gap between the core and the windings of the transformer. This is the reason why stepped core is used in medium and large transformers as it decreases the air gap between the windings and the core of the transformer.

What is the purpose of transformer core?

yes core is usefull in transformer since it it increase the permeability for the flux (i..e,it offers less relucyance path thanj air ).Their by decresing the losses in the transformer.


What should be the construction core or shell typeof a step down transformer?

The core design has nothing to do with whether a transformer is used to step down, or step up, a voltage. Most transformers have core-type cores. Very large capacity (MV.A) transformers sometimes have shell-type cores, because they can be manufactured with less height. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
