Why Use Laminated Cores In Electromagnets

Which has been extensively used in power transformers distribution transformers and isolation transformers.

Why use laminated cores in electromagnets.

One is dc electromagnets with built in ac to dc converters rectifiers. Laminated core eliminates eddy current due to alternating power source. It is however a conducting loop that experiences a changing magnetic field it will therefore have small currents induced in it these are called eddy currents. Why does the strength of electromagnet increase when its soft iron core is laminated.

A laminated core 10 including a plurality of segment core sheets 13 spirally wound and laminated in layers while connecting portions 12 connecting the adjacent segment core sheets 13 are bent ends of the segment core sheets 13 are aligned with each other and the connecting portions 12 in the adjacent layers are circumferentially displaced relative to each other the connecting portions 12. While applying ac voltage true ac electromagnets generate alternate magnetic field. Laminated magnetic cores are made of stacks of thin iron sheets coated with an insulated layer which lie parallel to the lines of flux. The core is not designed to have any currents flow through it.

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. Which has been specially designed to carry large input and output power transmissions since loss due to eddy currents is less.
