Hysteresis Reactor

This component models a hysteresis reactor. It can be connected to a single-phase or 3-phase node.

Input Parameters

Base MVA per Phase	REAL	Constant	Apparent power of the reactor per phase [MVA].

Base Operation Frequency	REAL	Constant	[Hz].

Eddy Current Losses	INTEGER	Constant	Eddy current loss portion of the total core losses based on MVA entered [pu].

Base Voltage Across the Reactor	REAL	Constant	Enter the RMS voltage rating across the reactor [kV].

NOTE: See Transformer Magnetic Hysteresis for more details on these inputs

Hysteresis	Choice		Select Basic Model, or Jiles-Atherton. The Basic Model models hysteresis based a translation on the transformer l-I characteristic, whereas the Jiles-Atherton model involves a conversion from an M-H loop to a B-H loop characteristic.

Air Core Reactance	REAL	Constant	Enter based on the base impedance [pu].

Remanent Flux	REAL	Constant	Enter the remanent flux as a per-unit value of the peak flux at rated voltage [pu].

Magnetizing Current	REAL	Constant	Enter as a percentage of the base current [%].

Loop Width	REAL	Constant	Enter as a percentage of the Magnetizing Current [%].

Knee Voltage	REAL	Constant	The knee point voltage corresponding to the knee point of the saturation curve [pu].

Nominal Flux Density	REAL	Constant	Enter the nominal flux density corresponding to the saturation curve [T].

Magnetic Material	Choice		Select custom material, or default.

NOTE: This category is enabled only if Hysteresis | Jiles-Atherton and Magnetic Material | custom material is selected.

Domain Flexing Parameter	REAL	Constant	This parameter represents the contribution of reversible magnetization process.

Domain Pinning Parameter	REAL	Constant	This parameter has a direct impact on the width of the loop [A/m].

Parameter to Adjust K with M	REAL	Constant	This parameter adjusts the domain pinning parameter with magnetization for better representation of the shoulder area.

Inter-Domain Coupling	REAL	Constant

Saturated Anhysteretic Magnetization	REAL	Constant	[A/m].

Coefficient # of Anysteretic Curve	REAL	Constant

Name for Magnetizing Current [kA]	REAL	Output	Name for the magnetizing current [kA].

Name for Flux Linkage [kWb-N]	REAL	Output	Name for the calculated flux linkage [kWb-N].

Name for Magnetic Field Intensity	REAL	Output	Name for the magnetic field intensity. This output is enabled only when Hysteresis \| Jiles-Atherton is selected.

Name for Flux Density [T]	REAL	Output	Name for the flux density [T].
