PurposeThe aim of the paper is to provide a simple and reliable hysteresis model for prediction of magnetization curves of a resistance spot welding transformer (RSWT) core, operating in a wide range of flux densities and excitation frequencies.Design/methodology/approachThe hysteresis model considered in the paper is the T(x) description advanced by J. Takács. Three options to extend the model to the dynamic magnetization conditions are considered. The excitation conditions differ from those prescribed by international standards.FindingsThe quasi‐static Takács model combined with a fractional viscosity equation similar to that proposed by S.E. Zirka outperforms other considered options. The effect of eddy currents may be considered as a disturbance factor to the frequency‐independent quasi‐static hysteresis loop.Research limitations/implicationsThe combined approach yields in most cases a satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment. For highest frequency considered in the paper (1 kHz) excessive “heels” were observed in the modelled loops. This artifact may be reduced by the introduction of a more complicated relationship for the viscous term. Future work shall be devoted to this issue.Practical implicationsThe combined Takács‐Zirka model is a useful tool for prediction of magnetization curves of a RSWT core in a wide range of flux densities and excitation frequencies.Originality/valueThe usefulness of the Takács description has been verified in a practical application. The model is able to predict magnetization curves under non‐standard excitation conditions.

“…The major loss increase is heavily pronounced through the eddy current loss term. From (1), it is seen that for nonsinusoidal supplies, the eddy current loss component depend more on the rate of change of flux (slope, dB/dt), as observed by [6]. The current ripple has been found to increase with decreasing modulation index.…”

The effects of varying the modulation index and the switching frequency on steel lamination core losses when excited with pulse width modulated waveforms are first investigated. A switched reluctance motor flux model is also developed and flux waveforms for different parts of the machine are synthesized. Using these flux waveforms, the paper presents the loss trend inside a switched reluctance machine, showing the core loss variation of the machine. The rotor was found to incur higher losses than any other part inside the switched reluctance motor. The paper further identifies the flux density harmonics that contribute to higher core losses in the rotor. Using the Fourier series, an attempt to predict core losses under switched reluctance motor flux density waveforms is done and the predicted results are compared with measurements. An Epstein frame was used for direct core loss measurements on 0.0140 in. [0.36 mm] commercial electrical steel; the methods and test bench used, along with test results are detailed in the paper.

This paper first reviews three internationally standardized core loss measurement methods: Epstein frame, Toroids and Single Sheet testers. A comparison of the Epstein frame and toroid test results is presented for annealed and unannealed steel. Two methods are used to predict core losses under non-sinusoidal supplies. The first method uses the Fourier series and an improved loss separation algorithm to predict core losses under equivalent brushless dc motor flux waveform with known spectrum. For lower harmonics, superposition yielded results close to the measured values. The second method uses the form factor concept and an improved loss separation algorithm to predict core loss. The combination of the improved loss separation algorithm and the form factor concept was found to yield results close to the measured losses under high frequency supplies, such as pulse width modulated waveforms. An Epstein frame with commercial 0.0140-inch electrical steel was used for direct core loss measurements; the methods and test bench used are detailed in the paper, along with test results.
