Answer / vikramsenareddy

crgo is used as core in transformers to reduce iron and
frequency losses. but now a days Ampourpose is using as a
core. b'coz its thickness is very less compared to crgo and
core losses also compared to less. but little more costly.

Answer / swapnil

Transformers for use at power or audio frequencies
typically have cores made of high permeability silicon
steel. The steel has a permeability many times that of free
space, and the core thus serves to greatly reduce the
magnetising current .
