transformer core are laminated for what purpose?

Answer Posted / sharath bimba m

In transformer, the eddy current loss is proportional to
the square of the diameter of the core.larger the diameter,
more the eddy current loss. Hence transformer core is
laminated so that the net effective diameter of the
transformer core reduces and thus eddy current loss can be
minimized.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
