Calculating Core Loss on a Toroid Core

AI Thread Summary
Calculating core losses in a toroid core involves referencing the manufacturer's data sheet and application notes for accurate computations. The discussion highlights the need for detailed information about the transformer's specifications, including frequency range, voltages, currents, and construction details, to provide effective assistance. Concerns are raised regarding the safety of designing a high-voltage step-up transformer, especially for a beginner. The importance of experience when working with high voltages is emphasized, along with the necessity for safety precautions. Comprehensive details about the project are essential for further guidance.

Hello!
I want your help for core losses on how to calculate core loss on a toroid core?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Loss is a property of the core material. Look at the manufacturer’s data sheet, and also look at the application note on how to compute losses.

It sounds like this is related to your other two recent threads about transformers:

I have 150 x 100 x 60 M4 grade toroid core and same grade slit coil, I need to 180 x 100 x 60 in my design purpose.i would like to add OD 20 mm. my suspicion is a slit that can be added should be on the same grade?
You have not responded to my questions in your thread with the above post. You really need to give us much more information about this project if we are to help you.

What frequency range will your transformer operate within? What voltages, currents, powers, temperature range, etc.? Can you clarify the size and materials and construction details? What do the source and load look like for this transformer? How reactive are they?

There are several contributions to core losses (and winding losses), depending on the answers to the above questions. If you want our help with this, please provide lots more information. Thank you.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience, I need 4000 voltage for in our testing purpose but I have single phase variac 240 v so I would like to design step up 230: 4000v I am is a beginner for designing so I am struggling that

That sounds a bit like a dangerous project for somebody who is a "beginner". What experience do you have working with AC Mains voltages like 230Vrms? What about high voltages like 4000V? Are you working with anybody who does have experience with those voltages and how to keep the project safe?

We still need answers to these questions in order to try to help you. Thank you.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
