Abstract
Although precise analytical methods for studying transformer performance, such as iron loss, copper loss and stray loss, are complicated, the finite element method (FEM) proved to be a potential tool for analyzing this subject. This study illustrated that transformer parameters, such as core shape, air-gap length and core type, significantly affected transformer performances. Furthermore, the 2D and 3D finite element analysis provided understandable visual for transformer designers.
