Hysteresis Loss Formula Elements

Variables
Hysteresis Loss
Hysteresis loss is defined as the energy entrapped in magnetic materials exposed to a magnetic field in the form of residual magnetization.
Symbol: Ph
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Hysteresis Constant
Hysteresis constant is defined as a constant that represents hysteresis loss when a magnetic material is operating in the Rayleigh region.
Symbol: Kh
Measurement: Energy DensityUnit: J/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Supply Frequency
Supply Frequency means Induction motors are designed for a specific voltage per frequency ratio (V/Hz). The voltage is called the supply voltage and the frequency is called the 'Supply Frequency'.
Symbol: f
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: Hz
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Flux Density
Maximum Flux Density is defined as the number of lines of force passing through a unit area of material.
Symbol: Bmax
Measurement: Magnetic Flux DensityUnit: T
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Steinmetz Coefficient
Steinmetz Coefficient is defined as a constant which is used in calculating the hysteresis losses. Its value varies from material to material.
Symbol: x
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 1.49 to 2.51.
Volume of Core
Volume of Core is defined as the total volume of the material used to construct the core of a transmformer.
