Method for accurately measuring magnetic core loss

Abstract

The invention provides a method for accurately measuring magnetic core loss. The measuring method comprises the following steps: I, measuring the current peak value I<1>, current effective value I<ac>, alternating current impedance R<ac.core> and average input power P<core> of current flowing through a magnetic core inductor to be measured; II, measuring the current peak value I<2> of current flowing through an air core coil group; III, inputting the two measured current peak values on an interface of a LabVIEW upper computer, controlling a single chip microcomputer to automatically match an inductance network for inductance adjustment to make the current peak values of the current flowing through the adjusted air core coil group and the magnetic core power inductor the same, and recordingthe alternating current impedance R<ac.air> and average input power P<air> of the air core coil group at the moment; and IV, calculating the magnetic core loss P<loss> according to a formula based onthe data above. Through adoption of the method, the problems of low measuring accuracy, high experimental environment requirement, complex measuring process and the like in a conventional magnetic loss measuring method are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of switching converters, in particular to a method for accurately measuring magnetic core loss. Background technique [0002] High frequency and miniaturization are the mainstream development trends of switching converters, and increasing the switching frequency of switching converters is an effective means to reduce their volume. The heat loss problem of the switching converter caused by the increase of frequency cannot be ignored, and the loss of the magnetic components as an important part of the switching converter needs to be paid special attention. The measurement of magnetic core loss not only directly provides loss data for actual engineering design, but also provides data support for academic theoretical research. Since many instruments and methods cannot reach the accuracy and range of magnetic loss measurement, it is necessary to find a more convenient, more accurate, and wider measurement range of magneti...

Problems solved by technology

Measure the average input current, average input voltage, and the effective value of the current flowing through them before and after the replacement. The sum of the difference between the input power obtained from the two measurements and the difference between the two AC copper losses is the core loss. The magnetic loss measurement method has problems such as low measurement accuracy, high requirements for the experimental environment, and complicated measurement process
