Abstract
The primary focus of this thesis is in core loss measurement and modeling techniques and their impact in machine design. In practice, steel manufacturers usually supply core loss data either at 50/60Hz, 1.5T or curves (core loss vs. flux density) at 50 and/or 60Hz. There is growing need for lamination characterization at high flux densities (2T) and high frequencies (3.2 kHz) for novel electric machine designs operating at high speeds. The core loss measurement concept is reviewed first. Two core loss measurement formulae are compared using core loss results from different testing frames and materials.
