CRGO
- Its grains run along the rolling direction, so flux flows best along the length of the strip. Core corners are mitred at 45° to keep the flux close to the grain at the joints.
- Step-lap stacking staggers the joints in small steps, so the flux crosses them gradually. This lowers core loss and transformer noise.
- Each sheet carries a thin insulating coating that limits eddy currents. Cutting burrs can bridge that coating, so clean edges matter.
