The eddy currents cause energy to be lost from the transformer as they heat up the core meaning that electrical energy is being wasted as unwanted heat energy.
Why iron core of transformer laminated.
Reduce eddy current losses.
Eddy current is induced in core and circulates normal to the width of the core causing heat.

The core of any transformer is laminated for the following reasons.
Why is the core of a transformer is laminated.
Why a transformer core is laminated.
Hello this question is related to my school project assignment i would like what happens when a core of transformer is laminated.
The purpose of providing an iron core in a transformer is to.
Does it depend core size and material.
Transformers are basically two coils of wire wrapped around a core of iron.
Provide support to windings.
Carbonyl iron powders are basically constituted of micrometer size spheres of iron coated in a thin layer of electrical insulation.
To control it s weight regulate the energy loss due to eddy currents increase the formation secondary voltage.
Iron core is thin laminated in transformer to avoid the loss of eddy current.
The iron core transformer has higher permeability thus it is applied in transformer in place of air core in modern transformer.
Decrease the reluctance of the magnetic path.
This is equivalent to a microscopic laminated magnetic circuit see silicon steel above hence reducing the eddy currents particularly at very high frequencies.
The reason we laminate the iron cores in transformers is because we want to limit what are called eddy currents.

I would like to know why core of transformer is laminated.
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.
