Reduce annealing
costs
Unicores are fully formed
by the machine.
Annealing will reduce core
loss on small to medium
sized cores but costs can
be saved if this is not
necessary. Large Unicores
have very low loss, so
annealing costs can be
saved.
UCM3000
AEM UNICORE UCM3000
Description
In the 10 years since its introduction Unicore
technology has been proven and accepted in
over 30 countries worldwide.
From small specialists to large
multinationals, Unicore is the preferred
technology.

duo core
Application
DUO core is the newest type of Unicore. It is a low loss,
price competitive core with very easy assembly. It is used
for core-type, single-leg and shell-type, single and 3-phase
Distribution and General Purpose Transformers. Annealed
DUO cores with one lamination per overlap will have the
lowest core loss. After assembly into windings TIG welding
of the last lamination and wedging is recommended.

Description
DUO Core is very suited to Core Type Single Phase
Transformers. When used for Shell Type, the core leg outside
the coils should be held tight.

Three phase
Description
DUO Cores are very well suited to Evans style (Core Type)
Three Phase Transformers. They are also very good for the
inner cores of a 4 core / 5 limb transformer.

DG Unicore Types
There are several different types of DG Unicores, namely
a core with straight cut face, Diverging face (cascade
of cut faces fans out) and End-Overlap (spirally wound
laminations) face. The position and specification of the DG
face can be easily programmed.
Material
Any grade of GOSS, thickness 0.2 to 0.35 mm.

cruciform
cruciform
Description
For use with round coils a Unicore may be made from
multiple strip widths. The resultant core legs have a
cruciform cross section.
stepbutt
stepbutt
Description
This type of Unicore is used only for a shell type General
Purpose Transformers to replace laminations, up to approx.
2 kVA. Its losses are much higher than DUO or DG Unicores,
lower than or comparable to a C core but much lower than
laminations.

Butt coreS
butt-2 core and BUTT-3 CORE
Description
These cores have a gap of programmable size in 2 (single
phase) or 3 (3-phase) legs. They are used in chokes and
reactors.
15
gapped core
gapped core
Description
It is a Single Phase core with one gap of
programmable size in one leg only.
uncut core
uncut core
Description
It is a core with no cuts. The Unicore machine is only feeding
and folding steel.
Uncut cores are used for Current and Voltage Transformers.
They are always annealed to achieve the lowest loss and
magnetising current.

Assembly of Unicores
single phase
single phase duo CORE assembly
Procedure
1. Insert the first full size inner lamination into the coils.
2. Insert the smallest male packet.
3. Insert the helper strips.
4. Insert the corresponding female packet and then remove
the strips.
5. Now repeat the steps 2 to 4 until all packets including the
last female half with the outer welding lamination have
been inserted.
6. After welding the outer lamination an insulation material
may be used to lightly wedge the remaining space
between the core and the coil.

Assembly of Unicores
three phase
Procedure
Assembly of a three phase DUO core is very similar to
the single phase assembly. Start with assembly of the
first inner core into the coils. After the second inner core
is assembled insert an insulation material to wedge the
inner cores apart so that the first outer male packet fits
accurately. Last lamination of the inner cores may be
welded. Now insert the outer core and wedge firmly in the
outer coils. Then weld.
