Magnetization processes of non oriented electrical steels: Vector hysteresis and energy losses measurements

This work presents measurements of the static magnetization processes of non oriented electrical steels usually used for the electrical machines. The experimental results obtained can be used as a benchmark for the identification procedures of phenomenological models used for the representation of the magnetic behavior of the electrical steels. The experimental set-up used and some results about scalar and vector magnetization processes and static hysteresis losses are presented in the paper.
