C-Core
Build efficient transformer setups for reliable investigations
The Transformer Core (Double C-Core) is a laminated iron core designed for use in classroom transformer experiments. It provides a closed magnetic path that supports efficient magnetic flux and accurate investigation of transformer behavior.
Constructed from cold-rolled, grain-oriented (CRGO) steel, the core minimizes energy loss and maximizes magnetic efficiency. The two precision-machined halves fit flush for optimal contact and are held securely together with a strong rubber band, making setup quick and repeatable.
Why Teachers Love the Transformer Core
-
High magnetic efficiency: Laminated CRGO steel reduces energy loss
-
Precision fit: Machined ends ensure strong magnetic coupling
-
Easy setup: Two halves assemble quickly with included band
-
Designed for classroom use: Ideal for step-up and step-down transformer investigations
Product Details
The C-Core provides a simple, effective way to build and explore working transformers in the classroom. By creating a closed magnetic path, it allows students to investigate how changing coil configurations affects voltage, current, and energy transfer.
