Abstract :Leakage inductance component has a significant importance in total inductance value of GISR. Neglecting this component in the design phase, results in an expensive and bulky core structure. Variation of leakage inductance component in percentage is determined and presented as graphical curves for M4 steel by applying energy method.   FEA are performed for various GISR with several operating voltages and temperature rise values to determine the leakage inductance component. A design tool with Matlab/Guide is also developed for analytical calculations to obtain the physical dimensions for FEA. Graphical curves introduced to the literature in this work provide manufacturers or design engineers to perform fast, reliable and economical GISR design with an alternative material and offer variety.
