Modeling of Temperature Effects on Magnetic Property of Nonoriented Silicon Steel Lamination

Abstract

This paper proposed a temperature-dependent iron loss model and corresponding dynamic hysteresis model, where temperature coefficient k is introduced to consider the thermal effect on eddy-current loss. The iron loss model is validated by massive experimental measurement of test samples, 1174 combinations of various temperatures, magnetic inductions, and frequencies for nonoriented silicon steel specimen. The relative error of the model is ~11% in a wide range of 50-400 Hz, 26 °C-200 °C, and 0-2 T. The proposed method can be applicable to other types of magnetic materials as long as whose resistivity rate exhibits approximately linear thermal dependence within a temperature range of 26 °C-200 °C.
