A transformer core drawing<\/strong> is one of the most important documents in a core RFQ because it converts the electromagnetic design into manufacturable dimensions, lamination geometry, joint details, material requirements, and supply boundaries. If the drawing only shows an outside length and height, the supplier may still be missing the information needed to quote accurately or manufacture the core without repeated technical clarification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For laminated transformer cores, the drawing should define the magnetic window, limb and yoke dimensions, stack thickness, lamination arrangement, joint geometry, punching or notching requirements, and the exact supply form. For loose lamination sets, the buyer may also need piece identification, stacking sequence, packet grouping, and packing instructions. For assembled cores, clamping, final dimensions, and inspection points become more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide explains how to prepare a transformer core drawing<\/strong> before ordering. It focuses on CRGO laminated cores and lamination sets used by transformer manufacturers, with particular attention to the details that affect quotation accuracy, production, inspection, and final assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why a Transformer Core Drawing Must Define More Than Overall Size<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"CRGO<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A transformer core is not simply a rectangular steel frame. Its magnetic behavior and manufacturability depend on how the limbs, yokes, joints, packets, and laminations are arranged. Two cores with the same external dimensions can use different window sizes, stack thicknesses, joint configurations, step sequences, steel grades, and supply forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why a useful transformer core drawing<\/strong> must describe the geometry that controls the magnetic circuit and the geometry that controls manufacturing. Prennox\u2019s current \u0642\u0644\u0628 CRGO \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0627\u0626\u0642\u064a \u0644\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0648\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0627\u0641<\/a> page states that core dimensions, window geometry, stack thickness, material grade, and joint configuration are manufactured according to customer drawings and electromagnetic design requirements. The same principle appears on its oil-immersed laminated-core product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a purchasing perspective, the drawing is also the common reference used by design, purchasing, production, supplier quality, incoming inspection, and final assembly. If different departments use different versions or interpret one dimension differently, the result can be a technically correct core that still does not fit the intended winding or clamping structure. A controlled transformer core drawing<\/strong> prevents that mismatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define Window Height and Window Width First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The magnetic window is the opening through which the windings and insulation structure must fit. Window height and window width are therefore among the first dimensions that should appear clearly on a transformer core drawing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These values are related to the winding axial height, radial build, insulation clearances, cooling ducts, leads, clamping arrangement, and assembly process. If the window is too small, the winding may not fit. If it is unnecessarily large, the magnetic path, steel weight, and overall transformer dimensions may change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drawing should state exactly where window dimensions are measured. Do not rely on a dimension line that could be interpreted as the distance between centerlines or between finished steel surfaces. Where tolerances are important for coil insertion, they should be stated explicitly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Not Confuse Window Size With Limb Center Distance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Limb center distance can be useful for three-phase core layout, but it is not the same as the clear winding window. A transformer core drawing<\/strong> should show both values where both are needed for design and inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially important when the limb cross-section or stepped packet arrangement changes the apparent opening around the winding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limb Width, Yoke Width and Core Cross-Section Need Clear Definitions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The limb and yoke dimensions define the main magnetic path and are directly related to the required core cross-sectional area. In a stepped core, the cross-section may not be a simple rectangle, so one \u201climb width\u201d value may not be enough to reproduce the intended packet arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A detailed transformer core drawing<\/strong> can show packet widths, packet thicknesses, total stack thickness, step profile, and how the final cross-section is built. If the design uses a circularized or stepped cross-section to fit a cylindrical winding, the supplier needs the packet schedule rather than only a nominal core diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a simpler rectangular stack, the drawing should still distinguish between strip width and final stacked dimension. The CRGO material thickness, coating, stacking factor, clamping condition, and assembly compression can affect the relationship between calculated steel area and final physical stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stack Thickness Must Be a Controlled Manufacturing Dimension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stack thickness is one of the core dimensions most likely to affect winding fit, magnetic cross-section, core weight, and final assembly. It should therefore be treated as a controlled value on the transformer core drawing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prennox currently states that stack thickness is customized according to the approved drawing for its laminated cores. For loose lamination sets, the customer may perform final stacking and clamping, so the drawing or specification should clarify whether the supplier is responsible only for lamination quantity or also for a target assembled stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the order is based on a calculated number of laminations, the drawing should not assume that nominal steel thickness multiplied by piece count will always equal the final clamped stack exactly. Coating thickness, flatness, burrs, stacking condition, and assembly pressure can all influence the physical stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purchase specification should therefore state how stack thickness will be measured and what tolerance applies after the agreed assembly condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint Geometry Must Be Drawn, Not Described With One Word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Terms such as \u201c45\u00b0 mitered,\u201d \u201cstep-lap,\u201d and \u201cmulti-step lap\u201d describe joint concepts, but they do not fully define the production geometry. A transformer core drawing<\/strong> should show the actual joint arrangement required by the electromagnetic and manufacturing design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0628\u0631\u064a\u0646\u0648\u0643\u0633 \u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629 \u062a\u0635\u0641\u064a\u062d \u0623\u0633\u0627\u0633\u064a\u0629 CRGO \u0643\u0627\u0645\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u062a\u0627\u062f \u0628\u0632\u0627\u0648\u064a\u0629 45\u00b0 \u0628\u062f\u0648\u0646 \u0645\u0634\u0627\u0628\u0643<\/a> page makes an important distinction: 45\u00b0 mitered refers to the lamination end geometry, while step-lap should only be specified when it is confirmed by the customer drawing or manufacturing specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a step-lap design, the buyer may need to define the number of steps, step length, packet grouping, overlap sequence, layer sequence, and any repeating pattern. If the supplier is expected to develop these details from performance targets rather than manufacture to a complete drawing, that responsibility should be stated separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-Lap Sequence Matters for Loose Lamination Sets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the buyer receives loose laminations and performs its own stacking, the transformer core drawing<\/strong> may need to include piece marks, packet numbers, stacking sequence, and orientation information. Otherwise, accurately cut pieces can still be assembled in the wrong order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an assembled core, those sequence details may remain on the supplier\u2019s production drawing, while the customer drawing focuses more on final joint configuration and inspection dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Material Grade and Steel Thickness Belong on the Drawing Package<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A core geometry cannot be separated from its material. CRGO grade and thickness influence magnetic performance, available strip dimensions, packet design, core weight, and processing route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0643\u0627\u0645\u0644 transformer core drawing<\/strong> package should identify the required CRGO grade or an approved magnetic-property specification, together with nominal steel thickness. Prennox currently lists conventional CRGO and Hi-B options for laminated cores, with typical thicknesses of 0.23, 0.27, and 0.30 mm depending on the selected grade. These are published supply options, not universal requirements for every project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0627\u0644 \u062f\u0631\u062c\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0644\u0628 CRGO \u0648\u062a\u0642\u0627\u0631\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u062e\u062a\u0628\u0627\u0631 \u0644\u0645\u0634\u062a\u0631\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062a<\/a> article explains why material designations should be reviewed together with loss test conditions, magnetic polarization, frequency, and material certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the design allows more than one approved grade, the drawing or technical schedule should state the substitution rule. Do not allow an unspecified \u201cequivalent CRGO\u201d substitution if magnetic performance is part of the transformer guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strip Width and Lamination Length Should Be Explicit for Lamination Sets<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"Mitered<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When purchasing a loose lamination set, strip width and lamination length are direct manufacturing dimensions. Prennox\u2019s lamination-set page specifically asks buyers to provide lamination drawings, strip widths, lamination lengths, CRGO requirements, steel thickness, quantity, and packing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A transformer core drawing<\/strong> for loose sets should therefore identify each unique piece type. If several lengths or widths are used in a step sequence, each one should have a unique identifier that matches the bill of materials or stacking instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punching, Notching and Holes Must Be Located From Controlled Datums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some transformer cores require holes, notches, V-notches, tie-rod clearances, lifting features, or other cut details. If these are required, the transformer core drawing<\/strong> should locate them from clear datums and define size, position, orientation, and tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prennox lists punching and notching as available where required by the drawing for both laminated cores and loose lamination sets. This is important because punching should not be assumed from a reference image or copied from another transformer design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holes and notches can affect both mechanical assembly and local magnetic behavior. The design engineer should therefore approve their position and purpose before the drawing is released for production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burr Direction and Edge Quality Should Be Included in the Inspection Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CRGO laminations are slit and cut, so edge quality matters. Excessive burr can interfere with stacking, damage interlaminar insulation, create local electrical contact between laminations, or change the physical stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IEC 60404-9:2018<\/a> specifies methods for determining geometrical characteristics of electrical steel strip and sheet, including edge wave, residual curvature, edge camber, deviation from the shearing line, and burr height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A transformer core drawing<\/strong> does not necessarily need to reproduce every test method, but the drawing or linked inspection specification should identify the required edge and burr acceptance criteria. For loose laminations, burr direction may also matter to the customer\u2019s stacking procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If burr limits are critical, write a measurable acceptance requirement rather than using phrases such as \u201cno burr\u201d or \u201csmooth edge,\u201d which are difficult to inspect consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimensional Tolerances Should Be Assigned by Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not every dimension needs the same tolerance. Overly tight tolerances can increase manufacturing complexity without improving transformer performance, while loose tolerances on critical dimensions can create assembly problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0639\u0645\u0644\u064a transformer core drawing<\/strong> should distinguish between critical fit dimensions and reference dimensions. Window geometry, stack thickness, terminal or clamping interfaces, and joint-related dimensions may need tighter control than nonfunctional external dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prennox\u2019s laminated-core pages state that dimensional tolerances are according to the approved drawing and confirmed specification. This reflects the correct procurement model: tolerance is a project decision linked to function, not a single universal value applied to every core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supply Form Must Be Written Into the Transformer Core Drawing Package<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important commercial and manufacturing boundaries is whether the buyer is purchasing loose laminations, a stacked core, or a fully assembled core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prennox\u2019s 45\u00b0 mitered lamination-set product is explicitly supplied as a loose set without clamps, with customer stacking and assembly unless otherwise agreed. By contrast, its laminated-core products can be supplied as stacked or assembled cores depending on the approved requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0647\u0630\u0627 \u064a\u0639\u0646\u064a \u0623 transformer core drawing<\/strong> should not simply say \u201ccore assembly\u201d unless the supply boundary is obvious. State whether clamps are included, whether the supplier stacks the core, whether the supplier performs final clamping, whether lifting frames are included, and which assembly operations remain with the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Drawing Revision Control Prevents Expensive Production Errors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Transformer designs often change during technical review. A winding dimension may change, a step-lap sequence may be revised, or a material grade may be replaced. If the supplier begins production from an outdated file, even perfect manufacturing accuracy produces the wrong part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0643\u0644 transformer core drawing<\/strong> should therefore carry a unique drawing number and revision status. The purchase order, supplier quotation, technical approval, and final manufacturing release should all reference the same revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a drawing changes, the buyer should identify what changed and whether already-cut material can still be used. Emailing a revised PDF with the same filename and no revision history creates unnecessary risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For repeat orders, do not assume the supplier will automatically use the latest design unless the purchase order identifies the approved drawing revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic Requirements Should Be Linked to the Drawing, Not Replaced by It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dimensionally complete core can still fail to meet the transformer\u2019s magnetic target if the wrong material grade, joint arrangement, processing route, or operating flux density is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why the transformer core drawing<\/strong> should be part of a technical package that also identifies the magnetic requirement. Depending on the purchase scope, this may include CRGO grade, material specific-loss requirement under defined conditions, finished-core loss target, excitation-current requirement, test flux density, frequency, and test method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drawing itself should not be used to imply a guaranteed loss value that has never been agreed. Material test values and finished-core performance are not the same measurement. Cutting, burr, stacking, joint construction, mechanical stress, and assembly can all affect the finished core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packaging and Identification Should Be Designed Around Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"\u0642\u0644\u0648\u0628<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Packaging is especially important for loose lamination sets. If multiple piece lengths and widths are mixed without clear identification, the receiving factory may lose the intended stacking sequence even if every part was cut correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0639\u0645\u0644\u064a transformer core drawing<\/strong> package can specify piece marks that are repeated on the packing list, bundle labels, and stacking instruction. Packet groups can be separated or identified in the order they are needed on the assembly line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For assembled cores, packaging should preserve geometry, protect cut edges and coatings, and provide lifting or handling instructions where required. The purchase order should also state whether rust prevention, moisture protection, vacuum wrapping, or other export packing is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Transformer Core Drawing Mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Providing Only Overall Length and Height<\/h3>\n\n\n

Overall dimensions do not define the window, limb, yoke, stack, or joint geometry. A supplier may still need a complete drawing before accurate quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing \u201cStep-Lap\u201d Without the Actual Step Sequence<\/h3>\n\n\n

Step-lap is a family of joint arrangements, not one universal geometry. The drawing should define the approved sequence or state who is responsible for designing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving the CRGO Grade Open<\/h3>\n\n\n

If magnetic performance matters, an unspecified \u201cCRGO material\u201d description can allow interpretations that do not match the transformer design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failing to State Whether Clamps Are Included<\/h3>\n\n\n

Loose lamination sets and assembled cores have very different scope. The transformer core drawing<\/strong> package should make assembly responsibility explicit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an Old Drawing Revision for Repeat Orders<\/h3>\n\n\n

Repeat business does not eliminate revision risk. Every order should reference the approved drawing number and revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Include in a Transformer Core Drawing RFQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u064a\u062c\u0645\u0639 \u0637\u0644\u0628 \u0639\u0631\u0636 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0633\u0639\u0627\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0648\u064a \u0628\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0633\u0645 \u0648\u062c\u062f\u0648\u0644 \u0641\u0646\u064a \u0642\u0635\u064a\u0631. \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0642\u0644\u060c \u0642\u0645 \u0628\u062a\u0648\u0641\u064a\u0631 transformer core drawing<\/strong>, transformer application, core structure, window dimensions, limb\/yoke or packet dimensions, stack thickness, joint configuration, CRGO grade or magnetic requirement, steel thickness, supply form, quantity, and required inspection documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For loose lamination sets, also provide strip widths, lamination lengths, piece identification, stacking sequence where required, punching\/notching details, clamps included or excluded, and packing instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For stacked or assembled cores, define final dimensional tolerances, clamping scope, magnetic test requirements where applicable, lifting or handling provisions, and the final inspection report expected with shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If any dimension is supplier-designed rather than customer-defined, mark it clearly on the transformer core drawing<\/strong>. This helps separate \u201cmanufacture to drawing\u201d from \u201csupplier engineering responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Prennox Needs Before Reviewing a Core Drawing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a dry-type laminated core, Prennox requests the core drawing, main dimensions, material requirement, steel thickness, joint configuration, supply form, and quantity. The current \u0642\u0644\u0628 CRGO \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0627\u0626\u0642\u064a \u0644\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0648\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0627\u0641<\/a> page also confirms that limb width, yoke width, window dimensions, and stack thickness are customized according to the approved design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For oil-immersed laminated cores, the \u0642\u0644\u0628 \u0645\u0635\u0641\u062d HI-B CRGO \u0644\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u063a\u0645\u0648\u0631\u0629 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0632\u064a\u062a<\/a> page uses the same drawing-based quotation approach, with material grade, dimensions, joint design, and supply form confirmed before production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For loose 45\u00b0 mitered laminations, use the \u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629 \u062a\u0635\u0641\u064a\u062d \u0623\u0633\u0627\u0633\u064a\u0629 CRGO \u0643\u0627\u0645\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u062a\u0627\u062f \u0628\u0632\u0627\u0648\u064a\u0629 45\u00b0 \u0628\u062f\u0648\u0646 \u0645\u0634\u0627\u0628\u0643<\/a> page and provide lamination drawings, strip widths, lamination lengths, CRGO requirements, steel thickness, quantity, and packing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the drawing still needs technical clarification, send it through the \u0635\u0641\u062d\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u062a\u0635\u0627\u0644<\/a> together with the transformer application and required supply scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0643\u0627\u0645\u0644 transformer core drawing<\/strong> should do more than show the outline of a magnetic frame. It should define the dimensions and manufacturing information that control winding fit, magnetic cross-section, joint construction, lamination processing, material selection, stacking, inspection, and final assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important fields usually include window height and width, limb and yoke geometry, stack thickness, joint design, CRGO grade, steel thickness, piece dimensions, punching or notching, dimensional tolerances, supply form, drawing revision, and packaging identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When these inputs are agreed before quotation, the supplier can price the correct scope, production can work from a controlled technical basis, and the receiving factory can inspect and assemble the core without relying on assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What dimensions should a transformer core drawing include?<\/h3>\n\n\n

A typical transformer core drawing<\/strong> should include window height and width, limb and yoke dimensions, stack thickness, core cross-section or packet schedule, joint geometry, overall dimensions, and any holes, notches, or assembly interfaces required by the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should CRGO grade be written on the transformer core drawing?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Yes, either the approved CRGO grade or a clearly defined magnetic-property requirement should be part of the drawing package. Steel thickness and any approved substitution rules should also be stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between a 45\u00b0 mitered core and a step-lap core drawing?<\/h3>\n\n\n

A 45\u00b0 miter describes the cut angle at the lamination end. Step-lap describes how successive lamination layers are offset at the joint. A step-lap design therefore needs additional sequence and step geometry information beyond the miter angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What additional information is needed for a loose lamination set?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Include lamination lengths, strip widths, piece marks, quantities, joint or stacking sequence, punching\/notching details, clamps included or excluded, and packing instructions. The receiving factory needs enough information to reconstruct the intended core correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is drawing revision control important for transformer cores?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Core dimensions and joint details can change during transformer design. If production uses an obsolete transformer core drawing<\/strong>, the manufactured laminations may not fit the current winding or assembly even if they match the old drawing perfectly.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A transformer core drawing is one of the most important documents in a core RFQ because it converts the electromagnetic design into manufacturable dimensions, lamination geometry, joint details, material requirements, and supply boundaries. If the drawing only shows an outside length and height, the supplier may still be missing the information needed to quote accurately […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"Transformer Core Drawing Requirements Before Ordering","rank_math_description":"Prepare a transformer core drawing with window size, stack thickness, joints, CRGO grade, tolerances and supply scope before requesting a quotation.","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"transformer core drawing"},"categories":[1],"tags":[85,73,86,87,84,88],"class_list":["post-1905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-core-lamination-drawing","tag-crgo-transformer-core","tag-step-lap-transformer-core","tag-transformer-core-dimensions","tag-transformer-core-drawing","tag-transformer-core-rfq"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1905"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1906,"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1905\/revisions\/1906"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prennox.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
