Abstract

In electrical machines, most of the iron loss estimation in finite element modeling is based on Bertotti coefficients obtained from the corresponding data sheet. However, often a more exact estimation of coefficients for the laminated steel material is needed. Especially in the case of high speed machines (where iron loss has the highest contribution to the total loss), it is very difficult to estimate the iron loss variation as a result of laser cutting when just using data sheet information as input data in finite element analysis. Laser cutting impacts also the magnetic properties, in terms of magnetization curves at different frequencies, not only the core losses. In this paper, three different core materials of the same lamination steel are prepared to realize the estimation of the Berttotti loss coefficient when the material is subjected to high frequency and under the stress of laser cutting. Experimental analysis is performed to obtain more precise values of Bertotti coefficients at a high frequency range so that they can be utilized in iron loss estimation in a high speed machine (100 krpm maximum speed-1667 Hz) which is further shown as an application. Finally, it is shown how frequency domain iron loss results can be utilized for the time stepping iron loss analysis.
