Transformer cores are normally made from ______________________?

Correct answer: C. Grain oriented Fe-Si alloy

  • A. Soft ferrites
  • B. High purity iron
  • C. Grain oriented Fe-Si alloy
  • D. Al-Ni-Co alloy

Explanation

Transformer cores normally use grain-oriented silicon steel because its low hysteresis and eddy-current losses are improved along the preferred grain direction. Al-Ni-Co is used for permanent magnets, not ordinary transformer cores.
