Abstract :
A calculation method for ferrite core loss by finite element analysis (FEA) is developed based on core loss measurements for sample toroidal cores. Material properties extracted from these tests are then used in an FEA solver to predict core loss in a range of other core shapes. Measured data is used to evaluate the accuracy of the FEA simulations
