Eddy current loss


Eddy current loss takes place when a coil is wrapped around a core and alternating ac
supply is applied to it. As the supply to the coil is alternating, the flux produced in the coil is
also alternating. By faradays law of electromagnetic induction, the change in flux through the
core causes emf induction inside the core. Due to induction of emf eddy current starts to
flow in the core. Due to this eddy current loss the energy is lost in the form of heat energy.

Eddy current losses can be reduced by laminations in the core. Thin sheet steels must be
used which are insulated from each other. Due to insulated sheets the amount of current
which flows get reduced and hence the eddy current losses.

Eddy Current Braking


One of the applications of eddy currents is that it produces braking effect in motors. Braking
is required to control the speed of motor. The methods of speed control of a motor uses the
principle of eddy currents. Speed control of motor is required for various speed applications
required for motor operations.

Hysteresis loss
The amount of energy absorbed by magnetic material is not returned back. It can be
understand by the Hysteresis curve. When the magnetic field strength or the current is
increased the flux density increase, after a point when we further increase current the flux
density gets saturated. When we reduce the current from saturation to zero side the flux
density starts to decrease. But when the current value reaches zero the flux density should
also be zero but it is not zero. For zero current there is still some flux density present in the
material, this is known as residual magnetic flux. Hence the amount of power is never
recovered back. The power which gets trapped in the core of the material is lost in the form
of heat. The area of the BH curve determines the amount of hysteresis loss. The larger the
area greater is the loss, smaller the area of bh curve, lesser will be the hysteresis loss.
