An Improved Loss-Separation Method for Transformer Core Loss Calculation and Its Experimental Verification

The separation of core loss plays an important role in the transformer loss calculation. To obtain more accurate core loss, based on the comparison and analysis on two traditional loss separation methods, an improved loss separation method was proposed for the core loss calculation of the transformer in a wide magnetic flux density range. Firstly, through analysis the eddy current loss was obtained by direct calculation, while the hysteresis loss was obtained by performing the quasi-static magnetization process. And the coefficient corrections for the hysteresis loss and eddy current loss calculation were conducted by using the experimental data. The result comparison between the proposed method and traditional ones were made. Secondly, by setting up the Epstein frame platform, the total loss and static hysteresis loss of 14 types of industrial silicon steel were measured. In addition, the suggestive values and the corresponding value range of the loss coefficients of 14 kinds of industrial silicon steel were given. The results obtained by the proposed method were in good agreement with the measured data in the wide magnetic flux density range, while the suggestive values and the corresponding value range of 14 kinds of industrial silicon steel can provides an effective data support for the accurate core loss calculation.
