Abstract
A simple and efficient method for the estimation of iron loss under any nonsinusoidal voltage without multiple zero crossings (i.e. without minor hysteresis loops) is proposed. This method is based on the loss separation model, where iron loss is decomposed into hysteresis, classical and excess loss components. The voltage waveform is identified by the form factor coefficient, easily accessible. Knowledge of the voltage harmonic spectrum is not required in this method. The cases of rectangular pulse, PWM, and fundamental plus a controlled third harmonic voltage are treated and a satisfactory prediction of iron loss is obtained. >

A General Model to Predict the Iron Losses in PWM Inverter-Fed Induction Motors

TL;DR: In this paper, an accurate and efficient method for predicting the iron losses in pulsewidth modulation (PWM) inverter-fed induction motors is presented. But the method requires the separation of the IR losses in the hysteresis and eddy-current components and the average rectified and rms of the PWM voltage values.
