Title: High-frequency model of toroidal powder core and a winding of a litz wire.

Abstract: A high-frequency model of a toroidal iron powder core inductor with litz wire winding is pre-sented. In the analyzed model, the power losses occurring both in the winding and in the mag-netic core were taken into account. A new method of determining the power losses in the wind-ing of a magnetic element made of a face with a circular cross section, wound on a toroidal magnetic core, for both sinusoidal and deformed currents, has been proposed using Dowell's equations. The methodology of estimating the resistance for the alternating component of the current flowing through a face wire with a circular cross-section wound on a toroidal core is shown. The influence of the type of winding wire, the shape of the core, the number of winding layers, the winding angle, and the frequency range for which the face obtains lower power loss-es than a solid wire are discussed.
