500w iron core transformer .that kind of size
It is the current transformer core meant for metering.
shell type core can be used
A 'core type' transformer core is one in which the primary windings and secondary windings are placed around each of the limbs, as opposed to a 'shell type' core, in which the two windings are placed across the centre core. A core-type core is a magnetic circuit equivalent to an electric series circuit, whereas a shell-type core is equivalent to an electric parallel circuit. This is better answered with a diagram, so I suggest that you do a search on the internet.
AL means transformer core property
It is because if we use a plastic as a core of the transformer then induced emf can to be produced also generated heat will damage the plastic .
i think Transformer operates AC and ferrite core operates in DC
Actually it depends on the air gap between the core and the windings of the transformer. This is the reason why stepped core is used in medium and large transformers as it decreases the air gap between the windings and the core of the transformer.
The container the transformer core and windings are placed inside is the tank.
yes core is usefull in transformer since it it increase the permeability for the flux (i..e,it offers less relucyance path thanj air ).Their by decresing the losses in the transformer.
In a transformer it is known as the transformer core.
to reduce core reluctance..
the function of core is to provide path to magnetic flux,a core may be armature core or may be transformer core
