Hi,

I can see in the features segment that we can calculate skin and proximity effect of windings. But I am not able to find any document or design example of how todo so.

Thanks in advance :)

    Hi,

    To compute the skin depth and proximity effect in Flux, in the case of transient application you need to represent each strand and insulation inside the slot. In the case of steady state AC application you can use the equivalent region (coil conductor region with losses) to take into account of the skin and proximity effect.

     

    Best regards.
