∙ 10y agoThere are two types of core construction the shell type and the viz core type.
A 'core type' transformer core is one in which the primary windings and secondary windings are placed around each of the limbs, as opposed to a 'shell type' core, in which the two windings are placed across the centre core. A core-type core is a magnetic circuit equivalent to an electric series circuit, whereas a shell-type core is equivalent to an electric parallel circuit. This is better answered with a diagram, so I suggest that you do a search on the internet.
It is the current transformer core meant for metering.

The core is responsible for the hysteresis losses in a transformer. These are the losses associated with the ease, or otherwise, by which the core is able to become magnetised in one direction, demagnetise and, then, remagnetise in the opposite direction. These days, the type of material used (variations on silicon steel) are about as efficient as possible.
The transformer core is ferromagnetic in order to focus and concentrate the magnetic fields generated in the windings. This improves coupling and increases inductance.

The main application for a core type transformer is to increase voltage from a standard 240v supply up to 415v instead of using a 3 phase supply.
shell type core can be used
500w iron core transformer .that kind of size
Transformers can have a shell type or core type core. If the core surrounds the windings, it is probably a shell type. If it does not, it is a core type. If you update this answer with an email address, or leave a message on my message board I can send you some drawings that explain this better than words can.

The difference is between how the windings relate to magnetic material around which they are wound. If this magnetic material surrounds the windings then the device is said to be a shell type transformer. If the windings cover the exterior of the magnetic material then the transformer is said to be of the core type. Please see the link.
With the possible exception of a variable reluctance transformer, you should always avoid core saturation of any type of transformer. When saturated the magnetic characteristics of the core material is radically changed and the coupling coefficients will be very different. Additionally, many transformers can overheat and be damaged.
