A shell-type transformer has_________?
Correct answer: B. reduced magnetic leakage
- A. high eddy current losses
- B. reduced magnetic leakage
- C. negligibly hysteresis losses
- D. none of the above
Explanation
In a shell-type transformer, the core surrounds much of the winding, giving a shorter and more confined magnetic-flux path. This reduces magnetic leakage compared with the core-type arrangement.
