The core is responsible for the hysteresis losses in a transformer. These are the losses associated with the ease, or otherwise, by which the core is able to become magnetised in one direction, demagnetise and, then, remagnetise in the opposite direction. These days, the type of material used (variations on silicon steel) are about as efficient as possible.

What materials are needed to construct a step up transformer?
Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.
What is use of metering core in transformer bushing?
It is the current transformer core meant for metering.
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.
Why transformer core is of magnetic not of wooden?
The transformer core is ferromagnetic in order to focus and concentrate the magnetic fields generated in the windings. This improves coupling and increases inductance.
What is the difference between core type and shell type transformers?
The difference is between how the windings relate to magnetic material around which they are wound. If this magnetic material surrounds the windings then the device is said to be a shell type transformer. If the windings cover the exterior of the magnetic material then the transformer is said to be of the core type. Please see the link.
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 materials are needed to construct a step up transformer?
Basic materials to build a transformer are magnet wire, iron core and insulation material to separate the two windings.
What is the use of core transformer?
500w iron core transformer .that kind of size
Why should core saturation of a conventional impedance matching transformer be avoided?
With the possible exception of a variable reluctance transformer, you should always avoid core saturation of any type of transformer. When saturated the magnetic characteristics of the core material is radically changed and the coupling coefficients will be very different. Additionally, many transformers can overheat and be damaged.
What is use of metering core in transformer bushing?
It is the current transformer core meant for metering.
What are the factors affect the magnitizing inrush current in power transformer?
1- residual flux existing before enegizing the transformer . 2- size of transformer . 3- size of power system. 4- type of magnetic material of the core. 5- the method of energizing the transformer.
What happen if wood is used for making transformer core instead of iron?
It would not function. In general, the core must be made of a material with certain magnetic properties. Wood has none.
What happen if the iron core is replaced by gold in the case of transformer?
You will have a very expensive but worthless transformer. Gold is not a ferromagnetic material, so it will not contain the magnetic flux needed to link the separate windings.
What Is a core-core type transformer?

What is the Al value of transformer?
AL means transformer core property
What is the basic Difference between ferrite core and normal transformer?
i think Transformer operates AC and ferrite core operates in DC
