VI. LABORATORY TESTS
Laboratory tests were conducted on toroidal core prototypes
of various power ratings to verify the proposed model. Fig. 5
presents the test schematic. The prototype (detailed in Appendix
A) was suspended in air to simulate the conditions as
given in Section V. A Yokogawa PZ-4000 power analyzer was
used to measure input and output power of the prototype. A National
Instruments NI-USB 9213 thermocouple measurement
unit was used to record temperatures on a computer.
