The single-phase shell-type silicon steel iron core is a compact and efficient magnetic core configuration commonly used in small to medium power transformers. Unlike the core-type design, where windings are placed on separate limbs, the shell-type structure encloses the coil within a central limb, with two outer limbs completing the magnetic circuit. The core is typically made of laminated grain-oriented silicon steel sheets, which reduce eddy current and hysteresis losses.
