Inrush current
Inrush current
When a magnetic circuit is energized (switched on) at a zero crossing point of the AC signal, like 0° or 180°, the magnetic flux and flux density are doubled.
What is inrush current?
What is inrush current?
The inrush current is a spike of current that occurs when a magnetic circuit is energized at a zero crossing point of the AC signal. It can be up to 10 times the nominal current value.
Nominal flux density
Nominal flux density
The nominal flux density value in a magnetic circuit is typically chosen to be at the knee point of the magnetization curve. This ensures that the magnetic core is operating in a region where its magnetic characteristics are predictable and stable.

Study Notes
Magnetic Circuits and Inrush Current
- Starting magnetic circuit integration at 0° or 180° electrically maximizes the integration constant, resulting in a doubled amplitude of the sinusoidal function's maxima.
- This double magnetic flux (and flux density) results during circuit activation.
- A magnetic circuit's nominal flux density is typically the knee point value of the magnetization curve (around 1.5 T).
- Corresponding nominal magnetomotive force and current are measured (Figure 14).
- Doubling the flux density and core saturation during circuit activation causes incredibly high inrush current (typically 10x the nominal value).
- Inrush current is especially high when the circuit is triggered at the zero crossings of the source voltage.
Electro-Mechanical Actuators
- Electro-mechanical actuators convert electric energy to mechanical energy (and vice-versa) often using magnetic circuits.
- Feedback from the mechanical system to the electrical system is common.
- A loudspeaker is a simple example. A diaphragm driven by a coil (powered by an amplifier) faces counteracting spring mechanisms (surround and spider) for returning it to its original position.
- A permanent magnet sustains a magnetic flux density to create a proportional force in the air gap.
- Loudspeakers can be modeled using equivalent circuits (Figure 18).
Exercise Guide: Magnetic Hysteresis, Inrush Current, and Loudspeakers
- Magnetic Hysteresis: Investigate magnetic cores to determine the hysteresis loop plotted against excitations. Use the core in Figure 11 and the measurement setup in Appendix 5.1.1. Compare the results with the ideal loop in Figure 5.1.2.
- Current/Voltage Distortion: Calculate current distortion for a given excitation, using Figure 12.
- Inrush Current: Calculate inrush current from Figure 14 and compare with measured data. Export recorded data to a CSV file for Excel calculations.
- Inductance with Unknown Core: Investigate both inrush current and hysteresis by considering the winding resistance.
- Loudspeaker: Determine loudspeaker equivalent circuit models through Bode diagram analysis and measurement.
- Measure electric coil resistance using DC measurements.
- Determine loudspeaker impedance frequency plots (magnitude and phase) – use a shunt of approximately 100 Ω.
- Adjust equivalent values in Excel to achieve optimized agreement between measured and theoretical impedance plots. Note the type of resonance (resonance peak). Compare low- and high-frequency impedance values to identify dominant equivalent values.
- Repeat the process for a second loudspeaker and compare impedance plot changes, factoring in their dimensions.
- Employ a CSV file to transfer recorded data into an Excel spreadsheet for calculations. Design an Excel sheet for data analysis.
