Computation of Core Loss from a Single-Frequency Loss Curve

The principles of the computation algorithm are summarized as follows.

The iron-core loss is expressed as:

where the eddy-current loss is

the hysteresis loss is

and the excessive loss is

Therefore

The classical eddy-current loss coefficient is calculated directly as

where s is the conductivity and d is the thickness of one lamination sheets.

Minimize the quadratic form to obtain K1 and K2.

where Pvi , Bmi – the i-th point of the data on the loss characteristics curve.

The other two loss coefficients are obtained as

where f0 is the testing frequency for B-H Curve.
