Where is the eddy losses occur in the transformer What cause

Where is the eddy losses occur in the transformer? What causes eddy losses? How is the eddy loss reduced?

Solution

a) The eddy current losses will occur in IRON pieces in transformer

b) Due to manufacuturing defect small gaps will come in iron pieces , because of this circulating currents will flow inside the iron pieces , because of this circulating currents losses will occur

this losses is called eddy current losses.

c) The eddy current losses will reduce by laminating the iron pieces , laminations means cutting iron pieces into small pieces and combined .

by doing laminations we can reduce eddy current losses as we are dividing the circulating currenrs .
