← ScienceWhich mechanism leads to increased eddy current losses within laminated transformer cores?
A)Reduced core dielectric permeability
B)Elevated operating frequencies✓
C)Decreased lamination thickness
D)Lower winding insulation resistance
💡 Explanation
Increased operating frequency induces larger, more rapidly changing magnetic fields. This cause then propagates eddy currents through electromagnetic induction, therefore increasing hysteresis losses and heat. Rather than other factors, this increase comes from the accelerating changes.
