Why use cores in transformers?

Transformers often require/use iron cores because they operate on magnetic forces, which are difficult to understand when sharing certain characteristics with good old "electricity" (ohms, volts, amperes, etc.). Let's try some simplified ways to get the overall idea.


Start with a screwdriver - just a cylindrical coil. If we let the current flow through, a magnetic field (we call it the H field) is formed. The field depicted with the imagined field line flows up through the center of the coil, then disperses again after leaving the cylinder, then reassesses and re-enters the other end. You've seen the picture in the textbook. The magnetic field is strong and contained inside the cylinder (ID), while the magnetic field strength is weak outside (OD) because it diffuses in space. If the H magnetic field interacts with "anything" around the coil, whether it is vacuum, air or iron, it produces what we call a B magnetic induction field within the "material", the strength of which depends on the strength of the magnetic field. The properties of "matter" are called "permeability". For a given magnetic field strength H, vacuum or air forms a relatively weak induction field B, while iron forms a very strong sensing field (1000 times stronger).

If we make a second coil (solenoid valve) and parallel it to the first coil in the air, a portion of the weak air sensing field B flows through the center of the second coil. If we change the current in the first coil, its B field will change slightly, as will the B field flowing through the second coil (absolutely by a small margin). This is not only because the entire B magnetic field is weak, but also because only a portion of the entire B magnetic field actually passes through the second coil. Recall maxwell's equation, saying that the voltage sensed in the coil depends on the magnitude of the change through its B field. Therefore, in our case, since the B-field change through the second magnetic field is very small, we can expect only one weak voltage to be sensed in the second coil.

To make it better, we can place a piece of iron in the center of the first coil. This will make the B field in the iron stronger than the B field in the air. In addition, we can extend the iron sheet into a ring so that it passes through the second coil. (We've made a transformer core ). Most of the enhanced B magnetic field from the first coil now passes through the iron into the second coil, and the magnetic field change caused by the current change in the first coil is amplified, resulting in a greater inductive voltage in the second coil. Coil.

That's why we use iron core simplification in many, but not all, transformers.

What are the reasons for the hot sales of climbing scaffolding

  Climbing scaffolding  have become synonymous with high-rise buildings and super high-rise buildings, and climbing scaffolding sales have become a popular choice in the construction industry. Some people have conducted in-depth and detailed investigations on the functional selection of climbing scaffolding sales, and found that climbing scaffolding is an indispensable protective equipment for construction buildings. Now I will briefly explain the reasons why climbing scaffolding sales are so popular: 1. Quality details keep improving According to market feedback, the sales volume of climbing scaffolding has gradually broken the original record of scaffolding in recent years. Because the crawling net is made of metal plate punching, its deflection and safety sealing are completely determined according to industry standards. The durable quality of its metal plate also has a good reputation in the industry, which promotes The quality details of the climbing scaffolding are more ...

The benefits of a windproof umbrella

There are actually many different umbrellas to choose from, thousands of them. There are small and compact umbrellas, larger golf umbrellas in hand, weak frame, strong frame, ventilated canopy, auto open auto close umbrella , manual open umbrella...the list is endless. How to make it very easy to choose a sturdy and reliable protective umbrella, this article focuses on the introduction. What does windproof mean? A common misunderstanding is that the term "windproof" in the umbrella world means that the umbrella crown will remain firm and not turn outward. This is not the case! In practice, this means that the frame is designed in a flexible way that can disperse the wind slightly. If the situation is particularly windy, design the frame to flip from the inside to the outside. The key point is that the frame will not break, but is designed to flip from the inside to the outside, and then return to normal without breaking. You can think of the frame as a sail on a boat, which c...
