Accurate prediction of ferrite core loss with nonsinusoidal waveforms using only Steinmetz parameters
TL;DR: An improved calculation of ferrite core loss for nonsinusoidal waveforms separates a flux trajectory into major and minor loops via a new recursive algorithm that is highly accurate and outperforms two previous methods for measured data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal choice for number of strands in a litz-wire transformer winding
TL;DR: In this paper, the number and diameter of strands to minimize loss in a litz-wire transformer winding is determined, and a power law to model insulation thickness is combined with standard analysis of proximity effect losses to find the optimal stranding.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improved calculation of core loss with nonsinusoidal waveforms
TL;DR: An extension to the Steinmetz equation is proposed, to enable estimation of hysteresis losses in magnetic core materials with nonsinusoidal flux waveforms, and the new formulation is shown to avoid anomalies present in previous modified-Steinmetz-equation calculations of loss.

TL;DR: In this article, the scaling of magnetic component size with frequency is investigated, and it is shown that substantial miniaturization is possible with increased frequencies even considering material and heat transfer limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computationally efficient winding loss calculation with multiple windings, arbitrary waveforms, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional field geometry
TL;DR: The squared-field-derivative method for calculating eddy-current (proximity effect) losses in round-wire or litz-wire transformer and inductor windings is derived in this paper.
