A magnetic-inductance component is a multi-turn closed coil connected head to tail and wound around a magnetic circuit. A magnetic-inductance value of the magnetic-inductance component is adjusted by selecting metal conductors with different numbers of turns, materials, cross-sectional areas, and lengths to change an amplitude and phase of a magnetic flux of the magnetic circuit. The present invention changes the operating state and operating trajectory of a vector in the magnetic circuit by adding the magnetic-inductance component to the magnetic circuit or removing the magnetic-inductance component from the magnetic circuit, to make a state of a magnetic flux vector in the magnetic circuit to be consistent with a target magnetic flux vector state. A magnetic circuit vector model built by using the magnetic-inductance component as a core is more consistent with the actual physical situation, which is beneficial to the improvement of the accuracy of magnetic circuit analysis and calculation.

A measurement apparatus includes an Epstein frame, an alternating power supply, a power analyzer, and an oscilloscope. Electromagnetic coupling modeling on an Epstein frame is performed based on a vector model of a magnetic circuit, where an iron core of the Epstein frame is formed by laminating a silicon steel sheet to be measured, and an excitation coil and a detection coil with the same turns number are wound around the iron core. The measurement process is to first obtain a reference B-H curve that only considers a nonlinear reluctance of the iron core, and then to derive a B-H curve considering an eddy current effect in a magnetic field at any frequency from the reference B-H curve. The method, applicable to a measurement for B-H curves at middle and high frequencies, may obtain much higher accuracy.

The present invention proposes a vector model of a magnetic circuit, an eddy current reaction is equivalent to a magnetic-inductance component in the magnetic circuit, and the eddy current loss can be fast calculated by the vector model of the magnetic circuit. When the frequency is high, the eddy current loss dominates an iron loss and can be estimated as an entire iron loss. The present invention proposes the vector model of the magnetic circuit based on which the calculation method of eddy current loss in magnetic materials is proposed as well. Through the proposed method the eddy current loss in magnetic materials can be directly calculated by using the magnetic-inductance and the magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit, which can provide guidance for design and performance evaluation of high-frequency electrical equipment from a brand new viewpoint.
