Comparison of iron loss characteristics between thin-gauged grain-oriented 3% Si-Fe sheets and commercial 0.3 mm-thick grain-oriented electrical sheets

극박 방향성 규소강판과 상용 방향성 규소강판의 철손특성 비교

Thin-gauged 3% Si-Fe sheets having a high magnetic induction of over 1.9 T have been developed for the purpose of applications where operation frequency is higher than power frequency. In order to clarify requirements of iron loss characteristics for the applications, iron loss characteristics of the newly developed strip were investigated by iron loss separation method and were compared with those of commercially produced 0.3 mm-thick electrical sheets. In case of relatively high excitation induction(1.7 T) and low frequency(60 Hz), reducing hysteresis loss is effective to decrease total iron loss. In case of relatively low excitation induction(1.0 T) and high frequency(1 kHz), reducing eddy-current loss is effective by decreasing thickness and grain size to improve total iron loss.
