Harmonic Analysis of Nonlinear Magnetic Field Under Sinusoidal and DC-Biased Magnetizations by the Fixed-Point Method

The laminated core is tested under sinusoidal and dc-biased magnetizations. The measured data are manipulated by the proposed modified iterative method to obtain dc-biasing hysteresis loops accurately. The hysteresis model, based on a consuming function, is used to simulate the hysteresis effects of the iron core under different magnetizations. The fixed-point technique is combined with the harmonic-balanced method to compute exciting currents and magnetic fields simultaneously by considering the hysteresis effects. The global convergent strategies are presented to guarantee the convergence of harmonic solutions. The hysteretic characteristics and iron loss of the laminated core are analyzed on the basis of harmonic solutions of the magnetic field.
