![]() I recently saw an article with the following: "I would like to express my thanks to xxxxxxxx for continuing the advancement of the transmission line transformer. We have become somewhat of co-workers, sharing information back and forth about how these efficient devices work in the HF, MF, and VHF parts of spectrum. He has done some recent experiments on new ferrite cores and found that by reducing the number of turns the actual potential difference on each turn is greater which increased the core loss. This means that the losses in these transmission line transformers are voltage dependant and not flux related." I am trying to understand how it is that losses are "voltage dependant and not flux related". Aren't flux and voltage related? Is he trying to say there are core losses that result from a voltage impressed across the winding, but the losses are caused mainly by electric field rather than the magnetic field? My understanding was that whilst there are dielectric losses in ferrite and iron power materials, the magnetic losses dominate in most applications. Is there a sound basis for the quote, or is it advertising bunk? Owen |
