Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to present analytical solutions for eddy current losses in foil windings of gapped inductors and solutions for additional inductance because of the fringing field path by using Fourier expansion in space. This allows avoiding the well-known disadvantages of the numerical field calculations such as long computation times, difficult geometry modelling, complex parameterisation.
