Influence of flux collectors on stray losses in transformers

The paper proposes a Reluctance Network Method for the three-dimensional an alysis of a three-phase transformer. The analysis is aimed at assessing as to whether a laminated nux collector is effective in controlling the power losses of the transformer. The results are thoroughly superimposable to tho se which can be obtained by the traditional theory of the transformer. The main advantage is that the required number of nodes and elements for the an alysis is definitely lower than with other techniques.
