Core loss calculation - inductor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The core loss of a cylindrical inductor can be calculated using its dimensions and the material properties. Manufacturers provide core loss data in the form of the equation watts per kilogram = k * f(m) * B(n), where k, f(m), and B(n) are specific constants related to the material and magnetic field. This structured approach allows for accurate predictions of core loss based on standardized data tables provided by manufacturers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic theory
  • Familiarity with core materials and their properties
  • Knowledge of core loss equations and calculations
  • Ability to interpret manufacturer data tables
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific constants k, f(m), and B(n) for various core materials
  • Learn how to calculate core loss using the provided equation
  • Explore the impact of different dimensions on core loss in inductors
  • Investigate advanced core loss measurement techniques
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, materials scientists, and anyone involved in the design and optimization of inductors and magnetic components.

can i solve for core loss of a cylindrical inductor by knowing the dimensions of it and the material it is made of?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Manufacturers are now presenting the core loss in the form of an equation such as:

watts / kilogram =k.f(m).B(n)

In the attached tables the manufacturer core loss data has been organized with the same units for all core losses.
