Part I. Introduction. It is pointed out here that the energy loss, caused by the alternating magnetic leakage flux in the tank plates, may reach an appreciable amount in the core type transformers of high voltage and large output.
I art II. Flux Distribution and Energy Loss in Steel Plate. The distribution and the method of obtaining the total quantity of the alternating magnetic flux in a steel plate are described, and the permeability ratio curves, which are useful in calculating the total flux, are given. The formulas of the eddy current loss, and of the hyste-resis loss, and the loss factor curves to be used in the calculation of these losses are obtained. The alternating magnetic flux can hardly penetrate into the interior of steel plate, and consequently the iron loss is constant in steel plate exceeding a certain value of thickness for a given surface induction and permeability.
Energy losses in steel plates of various thicknesses are calculated for varions surface inductions by the preceeding formulas and the results are given as the flux-loss curves. The losses thus calculated are compared with the losses obtained by me su-ring the losses of the steel plate cores prepared for the purpose.
Part III. Stray Load Loss. The formula for calculating the leakage flux of transformers is given; and the experiments for the distribution of the leakage flux at outside of the windings, and the method of determining the flux passing through the tank plate, and also of determining the stray load loss caused by the flux in the transformer tank are described. The experimental results are given to varify applica-bility of these calculations.
Calculation of the stray load loss per unit area of the tank plate ranging in wide extent is made and the formulas, applicable for the single phase core type transformer of high voltage and large output, are deduced.
These are
W=(13-.15A
2)phφ
2×10
-8 for 50 cycles
W=(16.8-.2A
2) phφ
2×10
-8 for 60 cycles
In the last part, the author's method of eliminating the stray load loss by using the magnetic shield made up of steel sheets is described with the experimental data.
