Analysis

All laminations are subject to core loss inspection. During this process, a computerized core loss tester excites the cores to predetermined parameters for the size and type of iron. Careful thermographic inspection of the iron reveals the hot spots, and an infrared picture is taken for documentation. Many times a core iron can be repaired by a "scramble restack;" however, in situations where a new core iron is needed, the latest in laser-cut or precision-punched C-5 or C-7 lamination material is used.
