Why Transformer Core Loss Can Rise After Assembly
Technische Zusammenfassung
Mechanical stress can change the performance of a grain-oriented electrical steel core during stacking, tilting and clamping. This video explains load paths, full-footprint support, clamp-frame flatness and the tightening sequence, with finished-core tests considered alongside the material certificate.

Why can a large core test above its calculated no-load loss? The steel grade may be unchanged, but its stress state can change during production. Uneven support bends lower packets. Tilting redirects loads through the frame, limbs and yokes. Uneven clamping can concentrate pressure instead of spreading it. Grain-oriented steel is sensitive to these mechanical stresses. Loss and noise can rise. Support the full footprint on a rigid stacking table. Use a tilting fixture that supports the core throughout the movement. Check clamp-frame flatness, follow the specified tightening sequence, and record it. Judge the finished core with its agreed tests, alongside the material certificate.
