“…In this paper, the loss density due to the galvanic contacts and the It is well known that if a step function of heat generation is applied to a medium under steady state conditions, the instantaneous initial rate of rising of temperature at any point is directly proportional to the heat generated at the point [9]. Based on this principle, the thermal method has been exploited to obtain the core loss of electrical machines [10], [11]. It has been shown in [9] that sufficient accuracy can be obtained if measurements are made over a short period.…”
