SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the units for the hysteresis coefficient in transformer losses, specifically in the context of the formula for hysteresis loss, Ph = lh * B^n * f, where B is in Tesla and n ranges from 1.6 to 1.8. The derived units for the hysteresis coefficient (h) are JsT^-1.6, although there is uncertainty regarding the validity of this formulation due to the power of 1.6. The material properties for hysteresis loss are also highlighted, with values for 4% silicon steel and cast iron provided.
