The book deals with methods for the description and design of electromagnetic components. Both linear and nonlinear components are covered. For electrical simulations the necessary equivalent circuit diagrams are derived and a general methodology is developed. Possible influences on properties via material selection, winding design and premagnetisation of sections are treated. Measurement characterization, modeling, possible errors and model limits are dealt with extensively. In the last chapter examples are discussed. The content Magnetostatics and magnetodynamics Magnetic material properties Optimization of soft magnetic inductive components Transformation of magnetic and electrical circuits Modeling of magnetic field sections Metrological characterization of inductive components Apparent power and volume for inductive components Approximation of empirical characteristic curves Application examples The target groups Engineers and prospective engineers (master course) with a focus on power engineering, mechatronics, medical technology, electromagnetic compatibility Engineers with a focus on marketing and, where appropriate, sales of electrical devices and systems This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation Preface 5 Symbol Directory 7 Coded Notation 7
