description

This article presents a straightforward approach for determination of numerical values of nonlinear susceptibilities of soft magnetic ferrites. It is shown that numerical values of susceptibilities can be calculated from the measured amplitudes of harmonics in the output voltage of ferrite core transformer. For this purpose, useful expressions for the susceptibilities are derived and as example, numerical values of the largest nonlinear susceptibilities those of the third and fifth orders are calculated. Additionally, errors of the measured susceptibilities also are determined. Based on the expressions obtained, the analysis of phase shifts between components of flux density on different frequencies and the magnetic field strength also is performed. The comparison of the calculated and measured output voltage waveforms allows concluding that in the frequency range where losses are small and can be neglected, the susceptibility of the third order is negative but that of the fifth order is positive.
