Vc. Silva et al., A 3-D FINITE-ELEMENT COMPUTATION OF EDDY CURRENTS AND LOSSES IN LAMINATED IRON CORES ALLOWING FOR ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC-ANISOTROPY, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 31(3), 1995, pp. 2139-2141
A 3-D scheme based on the Finite Element Method, which takes electric
and magnetic anisotropy into consideration, has been developed for com
puting eddy-current losses caused by stray magnetic fields in laminate
d iron cores of large transformers and generators. The model is applie
d to some laminated iron-core samples and compared with equivalent sol
id-iron cases.
