Nonlinear magnetic circuit – self inductance definitions, passivity and waveforms distortion

Abstract

The generalized magnetizing curve series for the nonlinear magnetic circuit is proposed. Subsequently, three definitions of selfinductance for the nonlinear magnetic circuit are compared. The passivity of the magnetic circuit is reconsidered. Three theorems that describe features of Fourier harmonics of distorted waveforms have been proved.
