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.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
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...
