Analysis of minimum cost in shape-optimized Litz-wire inductor windings

Litz-wire windings for gapped inductors are optimized for minimum cost within a loss constraint or vice-versa. Optimal winding shapes and the strand diameter and number for each shape are found through simultaneous consideration of two-dimensional field effects and of cost and AC-loss implications o...

Description
Summary:Litz-wire windings for gapped inductors are optimized for minimum cost within a loss constraint or vice-versa. Optimal winding shapes and the strand diameter and number for each shape are found through simultaneous consideration of two-dimensional field effects and of cost and AC-loss implications of litz stranding.
