Popis: Abstract The lack of data is a hindrance to the experimental determination of magnetic cores characteristics. This work presents a non-invasive and field-applicable methodology for electromagnetic devices characterization. Based on fundamental equations of electromagnetism and routine tests, the methodology was applied to obtain, at low frequency: the core loss separation, the hysteresis loop and its BH curve of a three-phase dry core-type transformer. The required equipment and the procedures to do the characterization are presented and discussed. The results were compared with experimental data obtained from tests that were carried out on the same material using a Single Sheet Tester device. The results show a difference in losses of 4.9% for hysteresis, 1.5% for dynamic, and 3.3% for total losses. In the no-load test comparison there was a difference of 4% for dynamics and 1.8% in total losses. The proposed methodology can be applied to different magnetic core types as well as to single-phase transformers and reactors.
