  • Abstract
    We provide a new closed-form formula that instantly calculates the 2D high-frequency ohmic losses (skin and proximity effects) in round wire windings. It has been obtained by overwriting the classical definition (shown to be erroneous) of the layer copper factor introduced in 1D analytical theories. Compared to similar previous formulas, the average error is divided by a factor of thousand. Experimental validation is provided
