Magnetic Flux Density under Single Harmonic Distortion

Abstract:

In the paper the change of the magnetic flux density under single harmonic distortion is discussed. Presented results show the dependence of the value of the magnetic flux density in the toroidal magnetic core made from the Ni80Fe20 tape of the phase angle of higher harmonic in relation to the main harmonic of distorted magnetizing current. Moreover, the influence of higher harmonic depends from it frequency and it becomes undetectable above 15th higher harmonic, even if its level reaches 50% of the RMS value of the main harmonic of distorted magnetizing current. Laboratory tests were carried out for the magnetic toroidal core of iCT with a current ratio equal to 300 A / 5 A. The oscilloscope is used to measure waveforms of the excitation current and the secondary voltage through the voltage probes. Build in numerical integration is used to determine the magnetic flux density from secondary voltage. In the case of tested 5^th higher harmonic the highest value of the magnetic flux density is obtained for phase angle equal to 90° between main and higher harmonics, while the lowest is obtained for 270°. This depends from the initial phase of the magnetic field strength and results from the integration of distorted secondary voltage with the particular content of higher harmonics.
