Air-Core-Transformer

Air-Core-Transformer

The primary and secondary windings wounded on non magnetic strip where the flux linkage between primary and secondary is through the air. The mutual inductance effect is less in air core compared to iron core i.e. the reluctance offered to the generated flux is high in the air medium where as in the iron core it is less. But the hysteresis and eddy current losses which are dominant in iron core type are less or completely eliminated in air core type transformer.
