IEC 60205:2026(E) specifies uniform rules for the calculation of the effective parameters of closed circuits of ferromagnetic material.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition, in 5.1, of the drawing and the formulae of pair of URS-cores of rectangular-circular section;
b) using, in 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and 5.13, the conventional calculation formula that includes "B1‑D" is limited for the x-x cores (x is EL, ER, PQ or E) and addition new formulae for x‑PLT cores that replaces "B1-D" with "(B1-D+B2)/2";
c) addition, in 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and 5.13, of formulae of l1 and l3 for x-PLT cores (x is EL, ER, PQ or E) which is different from the l1 and l3 of x-x cores;
d) addition of formula Amin in each subclause from 5.2.1 to 5.14.
