Rotational magnetization and rotational losses of grain oriented silicon steel sheets-fundamental aspects and theory

Rotational magnetization of grain oriented SiFe sheets involves three mechanisms: anisotropy, hysteresis and eddy currents. Apart from describing the respective physical background, the paper is focused on a separation of mechanisms. It discusses dependencies between field quantities which in the dynamic case are complicated by the fact that a three-dimensional field problem arises here. It is demonstrated that within a plane inner surface of a sheet, the magnetic behavior is independent of frequency in approximation. On the other hand, eddy currents yield phase shifts between individual surfaces. Respective rotational losses and their portions are discussed on the basis of Poynting´s theorem
