Hysteresis loss is NOT a function of

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

Answer: (C)

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.
