Improved analytical modeling of conductive losses in magnetic components

The one well-known one-dimensional method for calculating the AC resistance of multilayer transformer windings contains a built-in orthogonality which has not been reported previously. Orthogonality between skin effect and proximity effect makes a more generalized approach for the analytical solution of AC resistance in windings possible. This includes a method to calculate the AC resistance of round conductor windings which is not only convenient to use, but gives more accurate answers than the basic one-dimensional method because the exact analytical equations for round conductors can be used.>
