5 13.3 Loss mechanisms in magnetic devices Low-frequency losses: Dc copper loss Core loss: hysteresis loss High-frequency losses: the skin effect Core loss: classical eddy current losses Eddy current losses in ferrite cores High frequency copper loss: the proximity effect Proximity effect: high frequency limit MMF diagrams, losses in a layer, and losses in basic multilayer windings Effect of PWM waveform harmonics 35

6 Core loss Energy per cycle W flowing into n- turn winding of an inductor, excited by periodic waveforms of frequency f: W = one cycle v(t)i(t)dt i(t) + v(t) n turns Φ core Core area A c Core permeability µ Relate winding voltage and current to core B and H via Faraday s law and Ampere s law: db(t) v(t)=na c dt H(t)l m = ni(t) Substitute into integral: W = one cycle db(t) na c dt = A c l m H db 36 one cycle H(t)l m n dt

7 Core loss: Hysteresis loss W = A c l m one cycle H db B Area one cycle H db The term A c l m is the volume of the core, while the integral is the area of the B H loop. H (energy lost per cycle) = (core volume) (area of B H loop) P H = f A c l m H db one cycle Hysteresis loss is directly proportional to applied frequency 37

8 Modeling hysteresis loss Hysteresis loss varies directly with applied frequency Dependence on maximum flux density: how does area of B H loop depend on maximum flux density (and on applied waveforms)? Empirical equation (Steinmetz equation): P H = K H fb α max (core volume) The parameters K H and are determined experimentally. Dependence of P H on B max is predicted by the theory of magnetic domains. 38

9 Core loss: eddy current loss Magnetic core materials are reasonably good conductors of electric current. Hence, according to Lenz s law, magnetic fields within the core induce currents ( eddy currents ) to flow within the core. The eddy currents flow such that they tend to generate a flux which opposes changes in the core flux (t). The eddy currents tend to prevent flux from penetrating the core. Flux Φ(t) Eddy current i(t) Core Eddy current loss i 2 (t)r 39

10 Modeling eddy current loss Ac flux (t) induces voltage v(t) in core, according to Faraday s law. Induced voltage is proportional to derivative of (t). In consequence, magnitude of induced voltage is directly proportional to excitation frequency f. If core material impedance Z is purely resistive and independent of frequency, Z = R, then eddy current magnitude is proportional to voltage: i(t) = v(t)/r. Hence magnitude of i(t) is directly proportional to excitation frequency f. Eddy current power loss i 2 (t)r then varies with square of excitation frequency f. Classical Steinmetz equation for eddy current loss: P E = K E f 2 2 B max (core volume) Ferrite core material impedance is capacitive. This causes eddy current power loss to increase as f 4. 40

13 Low-frequency copper loss DC resistance of wire R = ρ l b A w where A w is the wire bare cross-sectional area, and l b is the length of the wire. The resistivity is equal to cm for soft-annealed copper at room temperature. This resistivity increases to cm at 100 C. i(t) R The wire resistance leads to a power loss of 2 P cu = I rms R 43

15 Penetration depth For sinusoidal currents: current density is an exponentially decaying function of distance into the conductor, with characteristic length known as the penetration depth or skin depth.

16 The proximity effect Ac current in a conductor induces eddy currents in adjacent conductors by a process called the proximity effect. This causes significant power loss in the windings of high-frequency transformers and ac inductors. A multi-layer foil winding, with h >. Each layer carries net current i(t). Current density J iconductor 1 h Area Φ Conductor 2 i i i Area i Area i 46

17 Example: a two-winding transformer Cross-sectional view of two-winding transformer example. Primary turns are wound in three layers. For this example, let s assume that each layer is one turn of a flat foil conductor. The secondary is a similar three-layer winding. Each layer carries net current i(t). Portions of the windings that lie outside of the core window are not illustrated. Each layer has thickness h >. Core i i i { Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 3 Primary winding i i i Layer 3 { Layer 2 Layer 1 Secondary winding 47

18 Distribution of currents on surfaces of conductors: two-winding example Skin effect causes currents to concentrate on surfaces of conductors Surface current induces equal and opposite current on adjacent conductor This induced current returns on opposite side of conductor Net conductor current is equal to i(t) for each layer, since layers are connected in series Circulating currents within layers increase with the numbers of layers Core Current density J Layer 1 h Layer 1 i i i Layer 2 Primary winding 48 Layer 3 i i i Layer 3 Layer 2 Φ 2Φ 3Φ 2Φ Φ i i 2i 2i 3i 3i 2i 2i i i Layer 2 Layer 3 Layer 3 Layer 2 Layer 1 Layer 1 Secondary winding

19 Estimating proximity loss: high-frequency limit The current i(t) having rms value I is confined to thickness d on the surface of layer 1. Hence the effective ac resistance of layer 1 is: R ac = h δ R dc This induces copper loss P 1 in layer 1: P 1 = I 2 R ac Power loss P 2 in layer 2 is: P 2 = P 1 +4P 1 =5P 1 Power loss P 3 in layer 3 is: Current density J h Layer 1 Φ 2Φ 3Φ 2Φ Φ i i 2i 2i 3i 3i 2i 2i i i Layer 2 Primary winding Layer 3 Layer 3 Layer 2 Secondary winding Power loss P m in layer m is: Layer 1 P 3 = P 1 = 13P 1 P m = I 2 m m 2 h δ R dc 49

20 Total loss in M-layer winding: high-frequency limit Add up losses in each layer: Μ Σ P = I 2 h δ R dc m m 2 m =1 = I 2 h δ R M dc 2M Compare with dc copper loss: If foil thickness were H =, then at dc each layer would produce copper loss P 1. The copper loss of the M-layer winding would be P dc = I 2 MR dc So the proximity effect increases the copper loss by a factor of F R = P P dc = 1 3 h δ 2M

21 Leakage flux in windings A simple two-winding transformer example: core and winding geometry Each turn carries net current i(t) in direction shown Primary winding { Secondary winding { y x Core µ > µ 0 51

22 Flux distribution Mutual flux M is large and is mostly confined to the core Leakage flux is present, which does not completely link both windings Because of symmetry of winding geometry, leakage flux runs approximately vertically through the windings Leakage flux Mutual flux Φ M 52

23 Analysis of leakage flux using Ampere s law Ampere s law, for the closed path taken by the leakage flux line illustrated: Leakage path Enclosed current = F(x)=H(x)l w (note that MMF around core is small compared to MMF through the air inside the winding, because of high permeability of core) Enclosed current H(x) + F(x) l w x 53

24 Ampere s law for the transformer example For the innermost leakage path, enclosing the first layer of the primary: This path encloses four turns, so the total enclosed current is 4i(t). For the next leakage path, enclosing both layers of the primary: This path encloses eight turns, so the total enclosed current is 8i(t). The next leakage path encloses the primary plus four turns of the secondary. The total enclosed current is 8i(t) 4i(t) = 4i(t). Leakage flux Mutual flux Φ M 54

27 Two-winding transformer example with proximity effect Flux does not penetrate conductors Surface currents cause net current enclosed by leakage path to be zero when path runs down interior of a conductor Magnetic field strength H(x) within the winding is given by H(x)= F(x) l w MMF F(x) 3i 2i i 0 i i 2i 2i 3i 3i 2i 2i i i x 57

30 Foil windings and layers d Approximating a layer of round conductors as an effective single foil conductor: (a) (b) (c) (d) h h h l w Square conductors (b) have same crosssectional area as round conductors (a) if h = π 4 d Eliminate space between square conductors: push together into a single foil turn (c) (d) Stretch foil so its width is l w. The adjust conductivity so its dc resistance is unchanged 60

31 Winding porosity Stretching the conductor increases its area. Compensate by increasing the effective resistivity, to maintain the same dc resistance. Define winding porosity as the ratio of cross-sectional areas. If layer of width l w contains n l turns of round wire having diameter d, then the porosity is (c) h (d) h η = π 4 d n l l w Typical for full-width round conductors is = 0.8. The increased effective resistivity increases the effective skin depth: δ = δ η l w Define = h/d. The effective value for a layer of round conductors is ϕ = h δ = η π 4 d δ 61

32 Power loss in a layer Approximate computation of copper loss in one layer Assume uniform magnetic fields at surfaces of layer, of strengths H(0) and H(h). Assume that these fields are parallel to layer surface (i.e., neglect fringing and assume field normal component is zero). H(0) Layer H(h) The magnetic fields H(0) and H(h) are driven by the MMFs F(0) and F(h). Sinusoidal waveforms are assumed, and rms values are used. It is assumed that H(0) and H(h) are in phase. F(x) F(0) F(h) 0 h 62

33 Solution for layer copper loss P Solve Maxwell s equations to find current density distribution within layer. Then integrate to find total copper loss P in layer. Result is P = R dc ϕ n l 2 F 2 (h)+f 2 (0) G 1 (ϕ) 4F(h)F(0)G 2 (ϕ) where R dc = ρ l b = ρ (MLT)n 3 l A w G 1 (ϕ)= ηl w 2 sinh(2ϕ) +sin (2ϕ) cosh (2ϕ) cos (2ϕ) n l = number of turns in layer, R dc = dc resistance of layer, (MLT) = mean-length-per-turn, or circumference, of layer. G 2 (ϕ)= sinh (ϕ) cos (ϕ)+cosh (ϕ) sin (ϕ) cosh (2ϕ) cos (2ϕ) ϕ = h δ = η π 4 d δ η = π 4 d n l l w 63

34 Winding carrying current I, with n l turns per layer If winding carries current of rms magnitude I, then F(h) F(0) = n l I Express F(h) in terms of the winding current I, as F(h)=mn l I H(0) Layer H(h) The quantity m is the ratio of the MMF F(h) to the layer ampere-turns n l I. Then, F(0) F(h) = m m 1 Power dissipated in the layer can now be written P = I 2 R dc ϕq (ϕ, m) F(x) F(0) F(h) Q (ϕ, m)= 2m 2 2m +1 G 1 (ϕ) 4mm 1 G 2 (ϕ) 0 h 64

36 Layer copper loss vs. layer thickness P P dc ϕ =1 = Q (ϕ, m) P P dc ϕ =1 100 m = Relative to copper loss when h = m = ϕ 66

37 Example: Power loss in a transformer winding Two winding transformer Each winding consists of M layers Proximity effect increases copper loss in layer m by the factor Q (,m) Sum losses over all primary layers: F R = P pri P pri,dc = 1 M M Σ m =1 F Mn p i 2n p i n p i 0 ϕq (ϕ, m) Primary layers Secondary layers { { n p i n p i n p i n p i n p i n p i m = 1 m = 2 m = M m = M m = 2 m = 1 x 67

38 Express summation in closed form: Increased total winding loss F R = ϕ G 1 (ϕ)+ 2 3 M 2 1 G 1 (ϕ) 2G 2 (ϕ) 100 Number of layers M = F R = P pri P pri,dc ϕ 68

40 Interleaving the windings Same transformer example, but with primary and secondary layers alternated Each layer operates with F = 0 on one side, and F = i on the other side Proximity loss of entire winding follows M = 1 curve MMF F(x) 3i 2i i 0 pri sec pri sec pri sec i i i i i i For M = 1: minimum loss occurs with = /2, although copper loss is nearly constant for any 1, and is approximately equal to the dc copper loss obtained when = 1. x 70

41 Partial interleaving Partially-interleaved example with 3 primary and 4 secondary layers Each primary layer carries current i while each secondary layer carries 0.75i. Total winding currents add to zero. Peak MMF occurs in space between windings, but has value 1.5i. MMF F(x) 1.5 i i 0.5 i i i 1.5 i Secondary 3i 4 m = 1 3i 4 m = 2 Primary i i i 3i 4 m = 1.5 m = 0.5 m = 1.5 Secondary m = 2 3i 4 m = 1 x We can apply the previous solution for the copper loss in each layer, and add the results to find the total winding losses. To determine the value of m to use for a given layer, evaluate F(h) m = F(h) F(0) 71

42 Determination of m m = m = m = m = Leftmost secondary layer: F(h) F(h) F(0) = 0.75i 0.75i 0 =1 Next secondary layer: F(h) F(h) F(0) = 1.5i 1.5i ( 0.75i) = 2 Next layer (primary): F(0) F(0) F(h) = 1.5i 1.5i ( 0.5i) = 1.5 Center layer (primary): MMF F(x) 1.5 i i 0.5 i i i 1.5 i Secondary 3i 4 m = 1 3i 4 m = 2 Primary i i i 3i 4 m = 1.5 m = 0.5 m = 1.5 Secondary F(h) F(h) F(0) = 0.5i 0.5i ( 0.5i) = 0.5 Use the plot for layer loss (repeated on next slide) to find loss for each layer, according to its value of m. Add results to find total loss. m = 2 3i 4 m = 1 x 72

43 Layer copper loss vs. layer thickness P P dc ϕ =1 = Q (ϕ, m) P P dc ϕ =1 100 m = Relative to copper loss when h = m = ϕ 73

44 Discussion: design of winding geometry to minimize proximity loss Interleaving windings can significantly reduce the proximity loss when the winding currents are in phase, such as in the transformers of buckderived converters or other converters In some converters (such as flyback or SEPIC) the winding currents are out of phase. Interleaving then does little to reduce the peak MMF and proximity loss. See Vandelac and Ziogas [10]. For sinusoidal winding currents, there is an optimal conductor thickness near = 1 that minimizes copper loss. Minimize the number of layers. Use a core geometry that maximizes the width l w of windings. Minimize the amount of copper in vicinity of high MMF portions of the windings 74

45 Litz wire A way to increase conductor area while maintaining low proximity losses Many strands of small-gauge wire are bundled together and are externally connected in parallel Strands are twisted, or transposed, so that each strand passes equally through each position on inside and outside of bundle. This prevents circulation of currents between strands. Strand diameter should be sufficiently smaller than skin depth The Litz wire bundle itself is composed of multiple layers Advantage: when properly sized, can significantly reduce proximity loss Disadvantage: increased cost and decreased amount of copper within core window 75

46 PWM waveform harmonics Fourier series: with i(t)=i 0 + Σ j =1 2 I j cos (jωt) i(t) I pk I j = 2 I pk jπ sin (jπd) I 0 = DI pk Copper loss: 0 DT s T s t Dc P dc = I 0 2 R dc Ac P j = I j 2 R dc j ϕ 1 G 1 ( j ϕ 1 )+ 2 3 M 2 1 G 1 ( j ϕ 1 ) 2G 2 ( j ϕ 1 ) Total, relative to value predicted by low-frequency analysis: P cu DI pk 2 = D + 2ϕ 1 R dc Dπ 2 Σ j =1 sin 2 (jπd) j j G 1 ( j ϕ 1 )+ 2 3 M 2 1 G 1 ( j ϕ 1 ) 2G 2 ( j ϕ 1 ) 76

47 Harmonic loss factor F H Effect of harmonics: F H = ratio of total ac copper loss to fundamental copper loss Σ P j j =1 F H = P 1 The total winding copper loss can then be written P cu = I 0 2 R dc + F H F R I 1 2 R dc 77

48 Increased proximity losses induced by PWM waveform harmonics: D = D = 0.5 M = 10 F H M = ϕ

49 Increased proximity losses induced by PWM waveform harmonics: D = 0.3 F H 100 D = M = M = ϕ 1 79

50 Increased proximity losses induced by PWM waveform harmonics: D = 0.1 F H M = 10 D = M = ϕ 1 80

51 Discussion: waveform harmonics Harmonic factor F H accounts for effects of harmonics Harmonics are most significant for 1 in the vicinity of 1 Harmonics can radically alter the conclusion regarding optimal wire gauge A substantial dc component can drive the design towards larger wire gauge Harmonics can increase proximity losses by orders of magnitude, when there are many layers and when 1 lies in the vicinity of 1 For sufficiently small 1, F H tends to the value 1 + (THD) 2, where the total harmonic distortion of the current is THD = Σ I j 2 j =2 I 1 81
