Hysteresis loss is NOT a function of

• A. The volume of a material
• B. Ambient temperature
• C. Steinmetz co-efficient of material
• D. Frequency

Answer: (B)

Hysteresis Loss = Kh × BM1.67 × f × v watts
where
Kh = Hysteresis constant depends upon the material
Bm = Maximum flux density
f = frequency
v = Volume of the core
Hence the hysteresis loss does not depend upon the ambient temperature.
