Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) : Transformers - Quiz(MCQ)
Cruciform shape is used in the transformer core to
A)
Reduce core loss
B)
Reduce core reluctance
C)
Reduce copper winding
D)
All of the above

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   All of the above


Explanation : Cruciform shape is used in transformer core to reduce core loss, copper, in the winding, reduce core reluctance, and reduction of iron and copper losses. In a transformer, eddy current losses in the iron core are directly proportional to the core's thickness. To reduce eddy current loss, we usually use thin sheets of the iron core to reduce skin effect.
