Wound Core and Windings: Efficient and reliable transformer cores designed to minimize eddy currents and heating for superior power transmission and distribution

About Wound Core

The Wound Core and Windings product is a specialised type of transformer core manufactured by winding grain-oriented electrical steel tape in a spiral around a mandrel, creating a robust cylindrical structure. This construction offers several advantages over other types of transformer cores. By minimising eddy currents and reducing heating, wound cores ensure greater efficiency and reliability in power transmission and distribution systems.

We manufacture high-quality amorphous cores for single-phase and three-phase distribution transformers according to customer needs. These cores are made of high-quality Metglas® amorphous metal. Some parts of the cores are coated with epoxy for added strength.

Wound Core FAQs

How does a Wound Core differ from other types of Cores ?

A wound core differs from other cores because it is made by winding a continuous strip of magnetic material into a coil. In contrast, other cores are typically solid pieces of magnetic material.

Wound Cores are flexible in design and construction. These can be customised according to the shape and size for specific applications.

Wound cores contribute to energy efficiency by allowing for precise customisation of core geometry, which minimises core losses and improves overall transformer efficiency.

Several factors should be considered while choosing a wound core. Magnetic properties, Size and shape, Cost-effectiveness, Environmental considerations, etc.
