Abstract
Paper presents an application of temperature-time method for measurement of local losses in
magnetic steel. Developed measurement system is described with focus on design of sensors and choice
of instruments. Chosen equipment is tested on a DC circuit designed for measurement of losses in
aluminum and copper conductors. Same measurement system is used for local loss measurement on
magnetic steel rings. Measurement errors due to non-uniform loss distribution inside magnetic steel and
heat dissipation to surrounding medium are analyzed and estimated.
Keywords
local power loss; temperature-time method; magnetic steel; thermocouple; coupled calculation
