Abstract
As well known, T-joint regions of three-phase transformer cores tend to show rotational magnetisation (RM) patterns
which yield distinct increases of magnetostriction. The present work was focused on the question whether these local
phenomena exhibit practical relevance for the core's global magnetostriction-caused strain. A main e!ect was found for
the yoke's horizontal direction, RM causing about 80% increase of total strain in the T-joint region and 40% for the total
yoke. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
