As the effect of factors like temperature and stress on the magnetic properties of electrical steel materials are gradually being emphasized, many research teams are carrying out related tests. Currently, most studies focus only on the effect of a single factor on the magnetic properties, while in reality, multiple factors exist simultaneously in electrical equipment. Therefore, accurate data of alternating (1D) and rotational (2D) magnetic properties under simultaneous loading of temperature and stress are very important. In this paper, a system based on a vertical rotational single sheet tester (VRSST) with temperature and stress loading parts is designed and constructed. Then, the 1D and 2D magnetic properties under many combinations of different temperatures, uniaxial and biaxial stress are measured and analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the increase in power electronic equipment in power system, the excitation of ferromagnetic materials often involves a large number of harmonics. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an accurate dynamic hysteresis model to adapt to this complicated operating state of electrical equipment. In this paper, a Hybrid Dynamic Hysteresis Model (HDHM), which can effectively characterize the harmonic excitation of materials is studied based on the Preisach model and Stacked Auto-Encoder (SAE) model. The static part of this model takes the form of the inverse Preisach model. And the Multiple Dynamic Hysteresis Model Set (MDHMS) is constructed by multiple dynamic models of eddy currents and excess characteristics of the ferromagnetic materials. The dynamic part of the HDHM takes the form of the model structure combining the Stacked Auto-encoder and the MDHMS. The calculation results of the hysteresis loop and ferromagnetic loss in the harmonic condition of silicon steel sheet proves the validity of this model. Moreover, compared with the conventional dynamic hysteresis model, the HDHM has better accuracy and generalization ability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a modified Mayergoyz-based vector hysteresis model to describe the anisotropic material behavior of nonoriented (NO) steels over a wide range of rotational excitations. The proposed model adopts a new representation of a vector Everett function, which is actually an elliptical interpolation motivated by the real anisotropic behavior of NO steel, to deal with the uniaxial anisotropy characteristic, which is especially pronounced at low induction levels. The biaxial anisotropy occurring at high densities is described by a nonlinear coefficient, which is actually a function of the magnitude of magnetic flux density. A systematic identification algorithm is given in detail. The validity of this model is verified through comparison with experimental data under both alternating and rotational excitations. The 2-D finite element analysis (FEA) of incorporating this model into TEAM problem 32 simulation is also illustrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are many magnetic inductors, such as filter inductors used in power electronic devices, being subjected in square waveform excitation together with DC bias. This paper proposes an improved core loss separation model to calculate the core loss of the magnetic materials under square waveform excitation together with DC bias. The core loss of the magnetic material with such excitation is calculated, and compare with the results using other models. The comparison shows that the improved model is more accurate than the other model. The discussion also shows that the improved model can identify the hysteresis loss and eddy loss. The results demonstrate that the improved model can optimize the design of inductors to improve the performance of the power electronic applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Accurate magnetic properties measurement of the silicon steel plays an increasingly important role in electromagnetic devices design and optimization. However, with the 2D circular and elliptical magnetization, which usually exist in the corner joint of three-phase transformer and behind the teeth of AC rotating machines, there is lack of experimental data result in the difficulty of reaching high frequency induction at kilohertz range. In this paper, a novel two-dimensional (2-D) magnetic tester with ultra-thin silicon steel sheets is designed and analyzed. In order to improve the measurement precision, a combined B-H sensing structure is designed to avoid the local inhomogeneity of magnetic field distribution caused by drilling holes. Both the alternating and 2D rotating magnetic properties of non-oriented silicon steel M210-35A are systematically measured at a wide range of frequency and magnetic flux density.

Extensive research and experiments have shown that rotational core loss, which usually exists in the corner joints of multi-phase transformers and behind the teeth of rotational motors, may amount to more than 50% of the total core loss. The frequency of rotational magnetic field can reach even kilohertz level in high-speed motors. In this paper, a new magnetizer of double-yoke vertical structure made of ultrathin steel sheet (0.05 mm) and the corresponding $B$ – $H$ sensing structure are proposed and constructed. Both the alternating and 2-D rotational magnetic properties for non-oriented steel B35A210 and grain-oriented steel B27R090 are measured and characterized up to kilohertz. The magnetic anisotropy of silicon steel is observed and analyzed from its origin mechanism. Moreover, the alternating, 2-D circular and elliptical rotational core losses are compared and discussed. This paper can provide a reference for core loss modeling and the calculation of electrical machines or transformers under different magnetization conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magnetic components in power electronic equipment usually suffer from nonsinusoidal excitations. In this paper, a brief description about the existing core loss calculation methods for nonsinusoidal excitations is given. Then calculation formulas of aforementioned methods for two typical excitation waveforms, that is, square and rectangular with variable duty cycle ${D}$ , are derived. Core loss of nanocrystalline FT-3KS, under above two nonsinusoidal excitations, is measured on an established test setup. The accuracy and applicability of each method are discussed theoretically and verified experimentally, especially in terms of different duty cycles and frequencies. It is found that the waveform coefficient Steinmetz equation (WcSE) is more applicable for the case of relatively small harmonics content of magnetic field intensity ${H}$ (normal duty cycle region), while the improved generalized Steinmetz equation (IGSE) has better precision where the harmonics count (extreme duty cycle region). In addition, the IGSE can better follow the changing trend of core loss with ${D}$ and have better frequency applicability than WcSE, which is proven to be not valid in low frequency (where the static hysteresis loss dominates). The results can provide reference for core loss prediction under nonsinusoidal excitations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magnetic materials are widely used in switching-mode power supplies (SMPS) and magnetic components in SMPS usually work under two typical rectangular excitations (with or without the period of zero voltage). Extensive experimental results have shown that there is quite a difference of core loss between sinusoidal excitations and rectangular excitations, which means the traditional core loss calculation methods are no longer applicable. In this paper, two formulas for core loss calculation under the above rectangular excitations are derived based on the Improved Generalized Steinmetz Equation (IGSE). Core loss of different magnetic materials, under both sinusoidal excitations and rectangular excitations with different frequencies and duty cycles, are measured. Experimental results show that the formulas are accurate enough and very useful to predict the core loss. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
