Parameter identification of the complete-moving-hysteresis model for HTS steel

This paper discusses an extension to soft magnetic materials of the identification method of the CMH model which was originally introduced for medium hard magnetic materials. The proposed Preisach function for HTS steel, a soft magnetic material, is normal in the interaction field and is assumed to be lognormal in the critical field. Although the Preisach function is not symmetrical, the logarithm of the operative Preisach function is. However, the moving parameter, α, cannot be obtained by finding the value that removes this asymmetry because of the presence of apparent reversible magnetization and the lognormal nature of the Preisach function. All the Preisach parameters can be obtained using the major curve and the virgin curve only. For HTS steel, the squareness is 0.004, indicating a small irreversible magnetization component. The coercivity is 8.6 Oe; whereas the remanence coercivity is an order of magnitude larger, namely 123.5 Oe
