Neural-network-based single-sided non-enwrapping power loss tester

Abstract It is preferable to be able to assess the power loss of electrical steels during production. When a single-sided tester is used, flux sensing is undertaken from one side only and hence some leakage flux above the strip may not captured by the sensing coils. Therefore, the disadvantage of a single-sided non-enwrapping tester lies in the measurement of the flux density in the material. A neural network was successfully used to “predict” the correct level of flux density for accurate assessment of power loss.
