Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a dynamic hysteresis model in simulating a magnetic amplifier (mag amp). The presented model includes static hysteresis, classical eddy currents, and excess losses. The proposed modeling approach is shown to be a feasible tool for designing mag amps.
