It would not function. In general, the core must be made of a material with certain magnetic properties. Wood has none.

What are the application of core type transformer?

The main application for a core type transformer is to increase voltage from a standard 240v supply up to 415v instead of using a 3 phase supply.


Why are stripes of iron plates joined instead of using a single block of iron core in a transformer?

To reduce heat generated and eddy current losses in transformer's core during operation.

What is use of metering core in transformer bushing?

It is the current transformer core meant for metering.


What will happen when the iron core of transformer is replaced by plastic?

The coupling between windings will be nearly zero, resulting in nearly zero output. In short, your transformer's not going to work.


Can you able to use plastic instead of iron core in transformers?

It is because if we use a plastic as a core of the transformer then induced emf can to be produced also generated heat will damage the plastic .


Why is a core type transformer mostly used in three phase inverters?

A dry type using air to cool instead of oil.


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.


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.
