Derived analytical equations are useful designing tool for research and development engineers because windings made of foil, square-wire, and solid-round-wire windings are considered. Temperature dependent Dowell’s equation for the ac-to-dc winding resistance ratio is given and approximated. Thermally dependent analytical equations for the optimum foil thickness, as well as valley thickness and diameter of the square-wire and solid-round-wire windings are derived from approximated thermally dependent ac-to-dc winding resistance ratios. Minimum winding ac resistance of the foil winding and local minimum of the winding ac resistance of the solid-round-wire winding are verified with Maxwell 3D Finite Element Method simulations.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Thermal analytical winding size optimization for different conductor shapes}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/85068/PDF/03_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aee-2015-0017}, keywords={eddy currents, Dowell’s equation, FEM, inductors, optimization, proximity effect, skin effect, thermal effects, winding losses}, }
