Abstract

This paper describes an automated measurement system for core loss characterization in high frequency magnetic components. This system can accomplish these aims, within specified magnetic induction and frequency ranges, and at different temperatures, with high accuracy, due to the techniques used in the acquisition and computation of the waveforms involved in loss calculation. The core loss characterization, obtained by fitting the core loss density (per unit volume) versus frequency and magnetic induction, permits the use of an equation, which is a very useful tool for the design optimization of high frequency magnetic components, such as transformers and inductors for switched mode power supplies
