The Estimation of Power Losses in Composite Cores Excited by Harmonic Flux Density Waveforms

This paper presents a study of the empirical approach to the estimation of power losses in composite cores excited by harmonic flux density waveforms. Nowadays, magnetic cores operating in power electronic devices are excited by distorted (e.g., harmonic) flux density waveforms. Magnetic material pr...

description This paper presents a study of the empirical approach to the estimation of power losses in composite cores excited by harmonic flux density waveforms. Nowadays, magnetic cores operating in power electronic devices are excited by distorted (e.g., harmonic) flux density waveforms. Magnetic material properties are mostly determined for sinusoidal waveforms of the magnetic flux density. However, these properties can vary significantly in the case of harmonic excitations, which affects the devices’ efficiency. The effect of harmonic flux density waveform parameters (amplitude ratio and phase angle) on the level of power losses in soft magnetic composites is analyzed. A simple, empirical model of harmonic losses based on standardized measurements, i.e., carried out for sinusoidal flux density waveforms, is modified and validated. It is revealed that the empirical approach to estimating harmonic losses can be applied to magnetic composites with satisfactory modelling results.
