Abstract

For anisotropic materials, the magnetic field vector H→ and the flux density vector B→ are parallel with each other only along a few distinct directions. When performing unidirectional measurements, only the component of B→ along the direction under consideration is measured. It is not possible to deduce the angle between B→ and H→ from unidirectional measurements alone. For ferromagnetic materials having a Goss‐texture, as most transformer steels have, this paper demonstrates a way to compute this angle a posteriori, by the combination of measurements with a physical anisotropy model.
