An efficient fixed-point harmonic-balanced method taking account of hysteresis effect based on the consuming function

The harmonic balance finite element method (HBFEM) is combined with the fixed-point technique to calculate the steady-state magnetic field in a laminated core model (LCM). The magnetic intensity is divided into linear and nonlinear parts in the form of harmonics. The hysteresis model based on the consuming function is taken into account in the harmonic computation. The magnetic field and magnetizing currents are calculated simultaneously by considering the electromagnetic coupling. Comparison between measured and calculated magnetizing current verifies the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method.
