What are the units for the hysteresis coefficient in transformer losses?

Click For Summary
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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hysteresis loss in transformers
  • Familiarity with magnetic properties of materials
  • Knowledge of units in physics, particularly in electromagnetism

  • Investigate the differences in hysteresis loss between various materials, such as silicon steel and cast iron
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, materials scientists, and anyone involved in transformer design and optimization will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focused on minimizing hysteresis losses in electrical systems.

I'm working with hysteresis losses in transformers at the moment, and I was wanting to know if there are units for the coefficient.

Normally, I'd just rearrange the equation for units, below,

h=ηB1.6f
η=hf-1B-1.6
so it would have units
JsT-1.6

However, given the power of 1.6, I'm not sure it still works like this. Does anyone know the units for it?

Hysteresis loss [for instance] formula :

Ph=lh*B^n*f Watt/m^3 where:

B in Tesla=Wb/m^2

n=1.6 to 1.8

lh is a property of material about 500 for 4% silicon steel or 3000 for cast iron.

f=50 or 60 Hz
