Multiple novel composite materials were developed for different electromagnetic applications. The composite material was comprised of either a soft magnetic composite (SMC), Somaloy, or an iron powder in a TOOLFUSION epoxy matrix. The composite materials were used to fabricate three different models consisting of either a cylindrical sample, a shell-type E-Core sample, or a toroidal sample. The models created from the composite material were then wound to fabricate transformers. An open load test was performed on the composite E-Core transformers. The composite E-Cores were then tested at frequencies ranging from 60 Hz to 10 kHz by undergoing a commutation curve test and a core loss test. A characterization of the Hampden and Groschopp motor was obtained from performing a DC test for stator resistance, a blocked-rotor test, and a no-load test. A MatLab script was created to calculate the equivalent parameters. The equivalent circuit was then modeled. A time dependent study in COMSOL was simulated to analyze all three models acting as a transformer. The materials modeled in COMSOL include soft iron with losses, soft iron without losses, the Somaloy material, and then an ideal composite material consisting the B-H curve of the Somaloy material while allowing the conductivity of the core to be practically non-existent. The results of the COMSOL simulation showed the voltage acting upon the primary windings, the voltage induced upon the secondary windings, the current going into the primary windings, the current going out of the primary windings, and the magnetic flux density throughout the E-Core.
