Effects of Wound Toroidal Core Dimensional and Geometrical Parameters on Measured Magnetic Properties of Electrical Steel

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the results of measurements for the magnetic hysteresis loop and the specific power loss of the electrical steel obtained with the toroidal samples of various dimensions. All samples have been made of the same material. Numerous measurements have been performed after the annealing of the samples. The measurements have been performed with control of the sinusoidal shape of the secondary voltage. Differences between the results of measurements have been analyzed. Change in the measured results, e.g. the shape of the hysteresis loop or the specific power loss has been correlated to the dimensions of the sample.
