The eddy current losses in the transformer will be reduced if ?

  • A. The laminations are thick.
  • B. Number of turns in the primary winding is reduced.
  • C. The number of turns in the secondary winding is reduced.
  • D. The laminations are thin.

Answer: D. The laminations are thin.

Explanation: Eddy loss ∝ t² (lamination thickness squared); thinner laminations reduce it.
