Study Notes
- The module title is energy transfer and conversion.
- The topic under consideration is magnetic circuits.
Fundamentals
- Flux density (B) measurement is the magnetic flux (Φ) divided by the area (A): B = Φ/A
- Magnetomotive force (F) is the product of the number of turns (N) and the current (I): F = NI
- Magnetomotive force (F) is the product of the magnetic flux (Φ) and reluctance (S): F = ΦS
- Magnetic field strength (H) is the magnetomotive force (F) divided by the length (L): H = F/L
- The relationship between flux density (B) and magnetic field strength (H): B = μH, where μ is permeability.
- Permeability of free space (μ₀) has a constant value: μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m
- Reluctance (S) is the length (L) divided by the product of free space permeability (μ₀), relative permeability (μr), and area (A): S = L / (μ₀μᵣA)
Linear Magnetic Circuit Problems
- F = NI
- I = F/N
- Fₐ = Fₐ + F♭ + F꜀
- Fₐ = ΦSₐ = Bₐᵢᵣ * Aₐᵢᵣ
- Lₐ/(μₐμᵣA) = 19.1AT
- F♭ = ΦS♭= Φ * L♭/(μₐμᵣA) = 7.96AT
- F꜀ = ΦS꜀ = Φ * L꜀/(μₐμᵣA) = 119.3AT
- F = Fₐ + F♭ + F꜀ = 146.36AT
- I = F/N = 146.36/4000 = 36.59mA
Example Problems
- Sₛ = Lₛ / (μ₀μᵣAₛ) = (2π × 5 × 10⁻²) / (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 800 × 50 × 10⁻⁶) = 10⁸/16 A/Wb
- Sₐ = Lₐ / (μ₀Aₐ) = (2 × 10⁻³) / (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 50 × 10⁻⁶ ) = 10⁸/π A/Wb
- S = 10⁸/16 + 10⁸/π = 0.381 × 10⁸ A/Wb
- F=ΦS
- Φ = F/S = NI/S = (2000 × 10)/ (0.381 × 10⁸) = 5.25 × 10⁻⁴ Wb
Further Equations
- F = Φ(Sᵢ + S₉) = Φ * ((Lᵢ/μ₀μᵣAᵢ) + (L₉/μ₀A₉))
- Aᵢ = A₉ = A
- F = (Φ/μ₀A) * (Lᵢ/μᵣ + L₉) = (1/4π × 10⁻⁷) * ((9.5 × 10⁻²)/500 + 5 × 10⁻³) = 4130AT
- H = F/L = (NI)/L = (0.4 × 1500)/0.3 = 2000 AT/m
- B=μ₀H = 4π × 10⁻⁷ × 2000 = 2.513 mWb/m²
- Φ = BA = 2.513 × 10⁻³ × 4 × 10⁻⁴ = 1.005 μWb
More Formulas
- H = 2000 AT/Wb
- Φ = 600 μWb
- B = Φ/A = (600 × 10⁻⁶) / (4 × 10⁻⁴) = 1.5 Wb/m²
- μᵣ = B/μ₀H = 1.5 / ( 4π × 10⁻⁷ × 2000) = 597
- S = F/Φ = (NI)/Φ = (1500 × 0.4)/(600 × 10⁻⁴) = 10⁴ AT/Wb
