The function of transformer silicon steel

The main function of silicon steel in transformers is to conduct magnetism and reduce losses, as follows:

-Magnetic permeability: Silicon steel has high magnetic permeability, which can make the iron core of the transformer more magnetic, concentrate the magnetic field inside the iron core, reduce leakage, improve the efficiency of the magnetic circuit, and enable more efficient transmission of electrical energy between the primary and secondary coils through electromagnetic induction.

-Reduce losses: Adding silicon element to silicon steel can increase the material's resistivity and reduce eddy current losses in the iron core. At the same time, it can also reduce hysteresis loss, reduce iron core heating during operation, improve transformer efficiency, reduce energy loss, and lower operating costs.
