LitzOpt

Optimizes litz wire strand design to minimize costs and/or power losses, for transformers or inductors.

Run LitzOpt online (Best user interface).

Download LitzOpt for use with MATLAB software (primitive user interface, but more flexible than web version).

Optimizes the shape of an inductor winding to minimize winding losses, including adjusting the number of strands in a litz-wire winding.

The ShapeOpt page has more information , or you can proceed directly to run ShapeOpt online or download the version for use with MATLAB software.

Core Loss Calculator for Nonsinusoidal Waveforms

Accurately calculates core loss for any piecewise-linear waveform, even with minor loops.
