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.
