A Brief Discussion on the Application of Silicon Steel Sheets in Transformers
Silicon steel sheets , also known as silicon steel plates, are an indispensable magnetic material in the electrical engineering field. They are refined from electrical silicon steel with a silicon content of 0.8%-4.8% through hot and cold rolling processes, and are typically no more than 1 mm thick, hence the name “thin sheet.” Broadly speaking, silicon steel sheets belong to the category of sheet metal, but they are classified as a separate category due to their unique electrical properties and wide range of applications. Whether in the power, telecommunications, or instrumentation industries, silicon steel sheets play a crucial role, serving as a key material for ensuring the efficient and stable operation of equipment. Most commonly used transformer cores are made of silicon steel sheets. Silicon steel is a type of steel containing silicon, with its silicon content controlled within the range of 0.8% to 4.8%. The primary reason for choosing silicon steel as the ...
