eddy current (plural eddy currents)
(physics) An induced electric current formed within the body of a conductor when it is exposed to a time varying magnetic field; utilized in induction heating and in some braking and damping systems.
Core losses are caused mostly by hysteresis and eddy current effects in the core and are proportional to the square of the core flux for operation at a given frequency. Source: Internet
Other materials were also tried; nonmetallic ferrites were promising for their low electrical conductivity resulting in low eddy current losses, Metglas offered high coupling coefficient, but they were inferior to PZT overall. Source: Internet
The eddy current loss is a complex function of the square of supply frequency and inverse square of the material thickness. Source: Internet
The transposition equalizes the current flowing in each strand of the conductor, and reduces eddy current losses in the winding itself. Source: Internet
