Transformer Losses and Efficiency

Iron Losses Eddy Currents The magnetic core of a transformer consists of many laminations of a high-grade silicon steel of a definite thickness. The power absorbed by the core of a transformer is due to eddy currents and hysteresis and is called iron losses. When the alternating flux cuts the steel core, an EMF is …
