ONE METHOD FOR CALCULATING FLUX-MMF RELATIONSHIP OF ORTHOGONAL-CORE

This paper describes one method for calculating the flux-MMF relations hip of an orthogonal-core. The calculation is based on a 3-dimensional magnetic circuit model of the orthogonal-core. The model is derived b y dividing the orthogonal-core, inclusive of the surrounding region, i nto elements comprising a 3-dimensional magnetic circuit. Using this m odel, we can compute the flux-MMF relationship of the orthogonal-core with arbitrary dimensions from the B-H characteristic of the core mate rial. The calculation method presented here is useful for optimum desi gn of devices using an orthogonal-core.
