Inductance Sweeps

Calculating Inductance Values at Different Currents (or frequencies)

 

  1. Simulation Parameters
    • In this case, we calculate leakage inductance by applying zero voltage to the secondary winding.
    • Varying currents (0.5 to 10 amperes) were applied to the primary side.
    • Problem solved at 100 kHz.
  2. Inductance Calculation
    • Inductance is calculated using two methods: circuits and energy.
    • The circuits method involves dividing complex voltage by complex current.
    • The energy method involves integrating magnetic fields and dividing by the square of the primary current.
  3. Analysis of Results
    • In the current range tested (0.5 to 10 amperes), inductance does not show dependence on current.
    • Magnetic flux amplitude in the core remains below the saturation point due to leakage inductance.
