Abstract :
This paper is part 2 of a two paper series on electrical machine iron loss predictions. The part 2 paper is focused on application of, and experimental data comparisons for, a new and unique method for predicting machine iron losses using transient finite element methods (FEM). A significant difference of the new method is the manner in which the predictive surface function of loss versus frequency and flux density is arrived at given lamination steel experimental loss test data.
