Partial discharge and interference discrimination in gas-insulated systems using electric and magnetic sensors

The correct identification of partial discharges (PDs) is instrumental for the maintenance plan in gas-insulated systems (GIS). However, onsite PD measurements are difficult, especially in HVDC systems, where partial discharges can be confused with interference. This paper proposes a method to discern PDs from interferences based on the GIS...

Fast 2.5D Loss Calculation for round Litz Wires

Litz wire, which is used to suppress eddy current, always have complex structure. Solving its 3-D finite element model (FEM) requires high computational resources. This article presents a 2.5-D loss calculation method for round Litz wires, which do not need mesh. One pitch of Litz wire is set as an object. The exact structure is constructed...

Improved Winding Losses Calculation based on Bessel Functions

In this article, an approach combining semi-empirical equations and the method of images is proposed for round conductor layer windings with un-gapped core. The new equation for proximity effect can convert the constant field strength from the magneto-motive force (MMF) across the core window into a frequency-dependent uniform background...

Two-Dimensional Frequency-Dependent Resistance and Inductance Calculation Method for Magnetic Components with Round Conductors

Magnetic components are essential parts in many power electronic applications. Their characteristics deeply impact the performances of the applications. This article proposed a 2-D calculation method for frequency-dependent winding losses and leakage inductance of magnetic components of round conductors. The method does not have any...

2D Winding losses calculation for round conductor coil

Winding loss calculation is essential for inductor and transformer design. In this article, a revised 1-D Ferreira's formula is proposed, which considers the interaction between conductors. Then, a 2-D loss calculation approach is proposed based on the analytical solution of round conductors under a uniform external field. An equivalent...
