Operating principle

A considerable part of the total magnetic losses in electrical machines are losses caused by rotational field, which are associated with the magnetisation processes quite different from those in unidirectional alternating field.

BROCKHAUS has developed the Rotational Power Loss Tester, which is an equipment to measure the magnetic properties under rotational field. Therefore, in the case of two dimensional measurements, especially under rotational flux, the vector components of the flux density B are kept sinusoidal in time t. By adjusting the amplitude and the phase of the components, every mode of polarization can be achieved in the range from purely alternating flux in an arbitrary direction with respect to the rolling direction, to purely rotational flux with constant angular velocity including circular or elliptically rotation.

purely magnetization

The following measurement results are determined:

  • Rotational Power Loss / Alternating losses for uniaxial directions
  • Vector Components Jx, Jy, Hx, Hy
  • Angle between H and B vectors
  • Polar Diagrams of J and H
  • Angular speed of the resulting flux density vector
  • Hysteresis curves
  • Coercivity
  • Remanence

Application:

  • Research (Universities, Research Institutes, etc.)
  • Automotive (Electrical Steel Producers, Electrical Motor Producers, etc.)
  • Quality Control
