GOSS C-Cores

Precision GOSS Silicon Steel C-Cores (CD Series) for 50/60 Hz Single and Double-Loop Transformers

01 · Overview

GOSS C-Cores (Silicon Steel CD Series)

The Bridgeport Magnetics CD Series of GOSS C-Cores is ideal for single-loop as well as double-loop single-phase transformers. Made from cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel (3% silicon iron, M4-011 grade), these cores deliver a high degree of grain orientation for superior magnetic performance and numerous advantages over traditional stacked laminated cores.

32 standard sizes are available in stock, ranging from 5 VA to 5,000 VA (60 Hz, single loop), with full custom options. Rectangular phenolic tubes are available for all sizes, and zinc alloy cast clamping frames are offered for many sizes – all manufactured in the USA for reliable high-efficiency power applications.

02 · Superior Efficiency and Performance

Why Choose GOSS C-Cores for 50/60 Hz Applications

Cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel (GOSS) C-cores deliver superior magnetic performance with high grain orientation, offering numerous advantages over traditional stacked laminated cores. The Bridgeport Magnetics CD Series provides easier winding assembly, excellent efficiency, and reliable operation in single and double-loop transformer and inductor designs.

For engineers and manufacturers, this translates to:

  • Easier core assembly and coil winding compared to E-I laminations
  • Higher magnetic efficiency and lower core losses at 50/60 Hz
  • More compact and cost-effective designs for higher power applications
  • Excellent scalability with 32 standard sizes plus full custom options
