Abstract

Electrical machines are more and more fed by static converters. These power supplies impose nonsinusoidal statoric waveform to the machines. In these conditions, behaviour of magnetic material can be very different compared with sinusoidal ones. The characterization of magnetic material under non‐sinusoidal excitations is not clearly defined. At the present time, there is not any standard about operating test and specific parameters to be measured in order to get efficient knowledge of soft magnetic materials in distorted excitation mode. The aim of this paper is to present the effect of statoric connections on harmonic characterization parameters. The experimental results correspond to a Fe‐Si non oriented material excited by two different waveforms in a classical Epstein frame. The behaviour of the material is divided into two parts: the fundamental and the harmonic responses. The fundamental parameters are representative of the duty frequency of the machine, harmonic ones give information about additional losses; especially their harmonic distribution. They also allow us to estimate harmonic impact on the fundamental response.
