| Research Abstract |
Electric energy loss at power transformers is 1.5*10^<10>kWh/year in Japan. To reduce the power loss, it is necessary to obtain a new material for the power transformer core. The purpose of this research work is to develop new grain oriented silicon steel sheets with very low loss.
We did examination of effects for domain refining by grooving on the surface of the thin grain oriented silicon steel sheets, dynamic domain observation, clarifying relation between domain movement and eddy current losses, estimation of the loss of domain refined samples. We found the magneto-static energy make the domain width narrow by grooving the surface. The mechanism of generating the eddy current loss by domain wall movement were clarified. The loss value of a 32mu m thickness sample obtained by this work is extremely low as 0.21W/kg at 50Hz, 1.7T.This value is 1/5 compare with the loss of the conventional grain oriented silicon steel sheets.
In conclusion, this work succeed to obtain the new material for reducing the electric power loss at the transformers. In addition, new mechanism for domain refinement are developed and the relation of domain movement and the eddy current loss were clarified.
