Subject: [TSSP] Solenoid losses
Hi Paul, Forgive if this is an old subject... You were looking for losses awhile back. Do you consider the Eddy current losses in the wire itself? I know some applications where even different types of Litz wire can have a dramatic difference in heating do to Eddy currents. I don't remember talk of this before but the losses can be very substantial. This looks like a good paper a web search pulled up. http://thayer.dartmouth.edu/inductor/litzj.pdf Cheers, Terry
