Sharp Corners of the Iron Core: A Potential Risk in Transformer Assembly While assembling a high-frequency isolation transformer , special care should be taken when installing the core. The sharp edges or corners of the iron core can cause significant issues if not properly addressed. For example, if the core chips are not handled correctly, they could overlap at the oil passages, causing short circuits or grounding at multiple points. It is critical to measure the insulation between the oil passages immediately during installation. Any sharp corner in the core chip must be smoothened to avoid creating risk factors for electrical failures. In high-frequency isolation transformers , where safety and performance are crucial, such oversight can lead to catastrophic system failures or reduced efficiency. Proper installation and handling of the core are therefore critical to ensure the stability and longevity of the transformer.
