Abstract
AbstractToroidal inductors are widely used in power electronic systems. With the increasing switching frequency of power devices, the AC losses of high‐frequency inductor windings have become an issue that cannot be ignored in design. A method with low computational time cost and high accuracy is urgently needed by designers. This paper proposes a modified analytical method for winding loss calculation of toroidal inductors based on the one‐dimensional Dowell method and the two‐dimensional Ferreira method, and proposes a compensated analytical model considering the proximity effect of inter‐turn conductors of toroidal windings. The analytical method calculates the non‐linear porosity of toroidal windings, and can accurately solve the AC losses of toroidal inductors with arbitrary porosity winding encapsulation. The analytical results are in good agreement with the finite element method (FEM) and experimental data. The experimental measurement data verifies the validity of the proposed model within 1‐MHz frequency, the calculation error of the modified analytical method is less than 25%, and the calculation error of the compensated analytical model is reduced to 10%.
