This paper presents the rotational power loss P, curves measured for nonoriented, conventional grain-oriented and high-permeability grain-oriented electrical steel under controlled loci of flux density B, or magnetic field H. The P is measured at 10, 50, and 250 Hz with the radius of circular loci of B being controlled from 0.5 to 2.0 T and the radius of circular loci of H from 50 to 20 kA/m. The well-known phenomenon of decreasing P at higher magnetization is confirmed in the results. The maximum P under controlled circular H can be up to 2.5 times higher than under controlled circular B and up to six times higher than the value of alternating loss for anisotropic electrical steels. In thicker laminations at higher frequencies, the peaks in P curves vanish due to increased contribution of eddy currents
