Iron-loss on three phase transformer

Hello 

I just converted the equivalent model of the three phase transformer in Altair 3D to 2D. but i want to compare the core loss and by theory, they should be same or very close. my question is i i set the current in the secondary to be zero how do i get the current to be inputted in the primary side of the three phase transformer so as to simulate no-load condition.

that is the current should be the magnetizing current and phase. how do i get this? is there a method i can use or a way to calculate it ? i attached a picture of the transformer parameters and dimension

    Hi Harmony Peter,

    Altair Flux 3D has example of Power Transformer, where you can find tests related to Transformers. You can refer to this example, particularly the No-load test to see  the specific procedures and setting used in Flux for simulating no-load conditions. 

    Thank you,
    Charishma.
