AC Resistance Calculation for a Gapped Inductor with Litz Wire
- Setup Simulation
- Choose a Harmonic or Inductance simulation type for the homogenization method.
- Configure Wire Properties
- Choose Homogenization as a Rac computational method.
- Select hexagonal packaging.
- Specify strand diameter, maximum frequencies, and fill factor.
- Calculate Fill Factor
- The software calculates values based on specified parameters.
- Analyze Results
- Evaluate Rac resistance at different frequencies.
- Observe magnetic flux and winding losses, noting higher losses at higher frequencies near the gap.
