Difference between Core Type and Shell Type Transformer
	Core Type	Shell Type
1.	The core is surrounded by the winding.	The core surrounds the winding.
2.	Natural cooling is provided.	Natural cooling cannot provide.
3.	The path of the mutual flux magnetic flux is in series.	The outer path of the magnetic mutual flux in the yoke is in parallel. Each of the side limbs carry half of the flux, so their cross-sectional area is half that of central limb.
4.	Used for low voltage transformers.	Used for high voltage transformer.
5.	The length of the mean turn of the winding is less.	The length of the mean turn of the winding is more.
6.	The core has only one magnetic circuit.	It has two magnetic circuits.
7.	Heat distribution is comparatively less.	Heat distribution is better.
8.	It has less mechanical protection to coil.	It has better mechanical protection to coil.
9.	Weight is less.	Weight is more.
10.	Comparatively not used for very high voltage and high power rating.	Preferred for high voltage and high power rating transformer.
11.	This transformer is easy to repair.	This transformer is not easy to repair.
12.	Cost is comparatively less.	More cost.
