Best Answer

Hysteresis losses are a function of the magnetic characteristics of the magnetic circuit, so there is very little you can do to minimise hysteresis losses other than to reduce the primary voltage to a transformer if that is at all practicable. These losses are really in the hands of the manufacturers who design and manufacture magnetic circuits.

Hysteresis losses are a function of the area of the B-H(flux density:magnetising force) loop for the material used in the manufacture of the core. The lower the area of the B-H loop, the lower the hysteresis losses. So what it comes down to is the choice of alloy used to construct the core -usually, variations of silicon steel.

There are two losses occured in transformer one is eddy current loss & another is hysteresis loss. The iron core is magnetise & de-magnetise due to AC provide to primary winding,causes waste of heat called as hysteresis loss.we can't eleminate the loss but we can redue it to some extend by making a core of silicon steel that enables easy magnetisation.

Causes of hysteresis loss in transformer?

No, you're hysteresis losses are set by Bmax, frequency, and material. The function is highly nonlinear and the loss goes up disproportionately with Bmax. When designing power transformers, you typically want the hysteresis + eddy losses to equal the copper losses.

How can hysteresis loss in magnetic material may be reduced?

Hysteresis losses depend on the type of metal used to manufacture the magnetic circuit of a machine. Most magnetic circuits are made from silicon steel. Generally speaking, there's not much you can do to reduce hysteresis losses as that has already been factored in by the machine's designer.

Is hysteresis loss considered heat loss?

In general even though energy is lost during hysteresis it is not called as heat losses . Generally I2R losses are called as heat losses because in these tye of only in these energy is lost in the form of real heat


Why Soft Iron is suitable for preparing electromagnets?

soft iron B-H curve area is very high and hysteresis loss is proportional to it frequency or no of loop cycles per sec and area of loop so hysteresis loss increases in soft iron as electro magnet
