How are skin depth or eddy current losses treated?
Eddy current losses in the winding stack are calculated using the equations developed by Bennett and Larson. These equations require an estimate of the magnetic field in the winding stack. The primary method of estimation is heuristic and is based on the ampere-turns of the various windings. A field simulation method is available that takes more time to run but it is more accurate. If a winding has zero or reduced current, the losses are reported in the spreadsheet Proximity Loss row.
