Labview based testing system for the aim of construction of energy efficient magnetic cores

摘要

There is increasing demand for more and more energy efficient magnetic cores to be used in modern electrical devices like inverters or smart grid instrumentation (high and medium voltage instrument transformers). The most important magnetic parameters are as high as possible magnetization characteristics (Bm = f(Hm) curve) associated with lowest specific total core losses. As magnetic properties of magnetic cores become worse during production processes it is extremely important to test them in order to improve the production process. In the case of large magnetic cores they cannot be tested in generally used computer systems. Therefore, there is a need for quality testing system for cores of large mass, in the order of several hundred kilogramms.
