Power losses in a steel sheet under deformed flux condition

Abstract

The commonly used power electronic systems in the drives of electrical machines as well as in the nonlinear receivers, being the transformer’s load, are the main origin of the deformation in the voltage supply. Due to these, the voltage curve is not sinusoidally variable. In these cases additional power losses take place in the motor and transformer cores which occur due to higher order harmonics of the flux. This paper presents a method to determine the power losses for the core where there are two fluxes in the steel sheet: one with relatively small amplitude and high frequency, and the other one with relatively large amplitude but low frequency.
