Abstract: HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission equipment generally works under AC–DC hybrid excitation (with both DC-bias components and harmonics), increasing the loss of magnetic components and even causing local overheating. In order to study the influence of AC–DC hybrid excitation on the performance of magnetic materials, the loss properties of electrical silicon steel under AC–DC hybrid excitation are measured and modelled. This paper improves the iron loss model based on the Bertotti loss model by introducing a new term caused by DC bias. In addition, the improved loss model is combined with the transient loss model, and the iron loss calculation is performed based on the results of the TEAM P21 extended model. The comparison between the calculated and measured loss shows that the improved loss model is more accurate than the traditional one.
