Explains simulation techniques used to analyse additional transformer losses caused by electromagnetic effects.
This lesson focuses on modelling additional transformer losses that occur due to electromagnetic phenomena such as skin effect, proximity effect, and stray magnetic fields. Participants learn how FEM simulations can predict AC losses in windings and stray losses in structural components such as tank walls, clamps, and shields. Methods for loss decomposition and model verification are also discussed. The session highlights how accurate loss modelling supports improved efficiency and thermal performance in transformer design.
