The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Laboratorio Elettrofisico Engineering for the supply of a core loss measurement facility for soft magnetic materials.

The facility will measure hysteresis characteristics and AC core loss of laminated electrical steels (SiFe, CoFe, and NiFe) used in electrical machines, with medium frequency measurements up to 1 kHz.

It will support the EPSRC Manufacturing Hub for Future Electrical Machines, a partnership with the universities of Newcastle and Strathclyde, and will be used almost exclusively for research purposes, including evaluating the effect of manufacturing methods on core loss.

The contract value is £49,000.
