Study Notes
Basic Laws of Electrical Machines
- Two fundamental laws govern the operation of electrical machines: Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and the law of interaction.
- Electrical machines convert electrical energy to mechanical energy or vice versa.
- Faraday's law states that a changing flux linkage induces an electromotive force (emf) in a coil.
Faraday's Law and Flux Linkage
- Defined variables: N = number of turns in coil, Φ = total magnetic flux linking the coil.
- Flux linkage (λ) is expressed as λ = NΦ.
- A change in flux linkage over time induces an emf.
- Instantaneous emf can be calculated from the rate of change of flux linkage.
Examples of Induced Voltage
- Example 1: For a coil with 4000 turns linked by a variable flux, the induced voltage is e = 960π cos(120πt).
- Example 2: When a permanent magnet causes the flux in a 2000-turn coil to drop from 5 mWb to 2 mWb in 0.1 seconds, the average induced voltage is 60 V.
Change of Flux Linkage
- Can occur due to:
- Variance in flux magnitude over time.
- Relative motion between the coil and flux.
- Flux linkage can be expressed in terms of position (θ) and time (t).
- Voltage types:
- Motional or rotational emf, which results from mechanical motion.
- Pulsational or transformer emf, enabling electrical energy transfer between windings, such as in transformers.
Force on Current-Carrying Conductor
- A conductor of length l in a magnetic field (density B) experiences a force proportional to the current (i).
- Force can be determined using Fleming’s left-hand rule.
Voltage Induction in Moving Conductors
- An emf is induced in a conductor of length l moving through a magnetic field density B at speed u: e = Blu volts.
- This is known as the flux cutting rule and represents a motional emf.
- Direction of the induced voltage is determined by Fleming’s right-hand rule.
Application to Rotating Electrical Machines
- In rotating machines, induced voltage is often calculated using the flux cutting rule due to complex flux linkage in coils.
- Example 4: For a generator with conductors of length 2 m moving at 100 m/s in a magnetic field of flux density 0.6 Wb/m², the induced emf can be calculated using the flux cutting rule.
