A suggested scheme for reducing eddy-current power loss in transformer
cores with a circular cross section is to divide the cores into a large
number of small insulated filamentary parts. As shown in Fig.4 the section
illustrated in part (a) is replaced by that in part (b). Assuming that
and that N
filamentary areas fill 95% of the original cross-sectional area, find
the total average eddy-current power loss in the N
filamentary sections P'av in relation to that of
Pav in the section of core of height h . (15%) |
