Introduction Itis always advantageous to utilise electrical energy since it is cheaper, can be easily transmitted, ‘easy to control and more efficient, The electrical energy is generally generated from natural resources such as water, coal, diesel, wind, atomic energy, ete, From these sources, first mechanical energy is produced by one way or the other and then that mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by suitable machines. For the utilisation of electrical energy, its again converted into other forms of energy such as mechanical, heat, light ete. It is a well-known fact that the electrie drives have been universally adopted by the industry due to their inherent advantages. The energy conversion devices are always required at both ends of a typical electrical system. The devices or machines ‘which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice-versa are called eleetro-mechanical energy conversion devices. 2 Blectrical Machines ‘The operation of all the electrical machines such as DC machines, transformers, synchronous ‘machines, induction motors, etc, rely upon their magnetic circuits, The closed path followed by the ‘magnetic lines of force is called a magnetic circuit. The operation ofall the electrical devices (e., transformers, generators, motors, etc) depends upon the magnetism produced by their magnetic citeuits, Therefore, to obtain the required characteristics of these devices, their magnetic circuits have to be designed carefully. In this chapter, we shall focus our attention on the basic fundamentals of magnetic circuits and their applications as electromechanical energy conversion devices. 1 Magnetic Field and its Significance The region around a magnet where its poles exhibit a force of attraction or repulsion is called magnetic field. The existence ofthe magnetic field ata point around the magnet can also be determined by placing ‘a magnetic needle at that point as shown in Fig, 1. Although magnetic lines of force have no real existence and are pur cffects. Ibis assumed (because of their effects) that the magnetic ines of force possess the following important properties: imaginary, yet their concept is very useful to understand various magnetic (The direction of magnetic lines of force is from N-pole to the S-pole outside the magnet. But inside the magnet their direction is from $-pole to N-pole. id They form a closed loop. (Gi) Their tendency is to follow the Teast reluctance path, (®) They act like stretched cords, always trying to shorten themselves. (@) They never intersect each other. (They repel each other when they are parallel and are in the same direction. (vi) They remain unaffected by non-magnetic materials ro flings rissretc nee Fig. 1.1. Magnetic field around a bar magnet Electro Magnetic Circuits 3 1.2 Magnetic Circuit and its Analysis The closed path followed by magnetic flux is called a magnetic circui ‘A magnetic circuit usually consists of magnetic materials having high permeability (eg, iron, J, etc). In this circuit, magnetic flux starts from a point and finishes atthe same point after soft st ‘completing its path. Figure 1.2 shows a solenoid having V turns wound on an iron core (ring). When current Fampere is passed through the solenoid, ‘magnetic flux g Wb is set-up in the core, Let nean length of magnetic circuit in m; area of cross-section of core in m*; relative permeability of core material Flux density in the core material, B= 2 Weim?

I shows that the flux increases if either of the two increases and vice-versa. Gi inversely proportional to Va yp, called reluctance of the magnetic path. In fact, reluctance is the opposition offered to the magnetic Flux by the magnetic path, The lower is the reluctance, the higher wil be the flux and vice-versa Thus, Flux = mt eluctance 1 may be noted that the above expression has a strong resemblance to Ohm's law for electric current (J = emffresistance), The mmfis analogous to emf in electric circuit, reluctance is analogous to resistance and flux is analogous to current. Because of this similarity, the above expression is sometimes referred to as Ohm's law of magnetic circuits 1.3 Important Terms While studying magnetic circuits, ge erally, we come across the following terms 1. Magnetic fil repulsion is called magnetic field. he region around a magnet where its poles exhibit a force of attraction or 4 Electrical Machines 2, Magnetic flux (9: The amount of magnetic Hines of foree set-up in a magnetic circuit called ‘magnetic fx.

The magnetic flux density ata point isthe flux per unit area at right angles 1 the flux a that point His, generally, represented by letter ‘B,Its unit is Wb/m? or Tesla, ie. b= 20/0? or Wine = 110" Whim 4, Permeability: The ability of a material 10 conduct magnetic lines of force through it is called the permeability of that material Itis generally represented by u (nu, a Greek letter) The greater the permeability ofa material, the greater is its conductivity for the magnetic lines of force and vice-versa. The permeability of air or vacuum isthe poorest and is represented assy (where fy = 42" 10-7 Him) Relative permeability: The absolute (or actual) permeability of « magnetic material is much greater than absolute permeability of air ug. The relative permeability of a magnetic material is given in comparison with air or vacuum. Hence, the ratio of the permeability of material u to the permeability of air or vacuum jy is called the relative permeability u, ofthe material ie, =F! ot wa nge, » Hye TR ot w= tot, Obviously, the relative permeability of air would be tip = I. The value of relative permeability of all the non-magnetic materials is also 1. However, its value is as high as 8000 for soft iron, whereas, its value for mumetal (iron 22% and nickel 78%) is as high as 1,20,000, 5. Magnetic field intensity: The force acting on a unit north pole (1 Wb) when placed at a point in the magnetic field is called the magnetic intensity ofthe field at that point. Is denoted by H. In magnetic circuits, itis defined as mmf per unit length of the magnetie path. Its denoted by H, mathematically, mmf ML Trngih of magnetic path ~ 1 “7 /™ ‘6. Magnetomotive force (mmf): The magnetic pressure which sets-up or tends to set-up magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit is called magnetomotive force. As per work law it may be defined as under: ‘The work done in moving « unit magnetic pole (1 Wb) once round the magnetic circuit is called ‘magnetomotive force. In general mmf VF ampere-turns (or AT) ILis analogous to emfin an electric circuit 7. Reluctance ($): The opposition offered to the magnetic flux by # magnetic circuit is called its reluctance. It depends upon length (1), area of eross-section (a) and permeability (11= HH) of the material that makes up the magnetic circuit, It is measured in AT/Wb, Electro Magnetic Circuits 5 1 iy Hy {tis analogous to resistance in an electric circuit. 8 Permeance: Its a measure of the ease with which flux can be se-up in the material.

Most of this flux is set-up in the magnetic core and passes through the ar gap (an intended path), This Fux is known as useful fls ,, However, some ofthe flux is just set-up around the coil and isnot utilised for any work.

Leakage co-efficient, 2= & Fringing: It may be scen in Fig. 1.7 that the useful flux when sets-up in the air gap, it tends 10 bulge outwards at b and D’ since the magnetic lines set-up in the same direction repel each other. ‘This increases the effective area in the air gap and decreases the flux density. This effect is known as fringing. The fringing is directly proportional to the length of the air gap.

This phenomenon is known as magnetic hysteresis. Hence, the phenomenon of flux density B lagging behind the magnetising force H in a magnetic ‘material is called magnetic hysteresis. ‘Hysteresis’ is the term derived from the Greek word hysterein meaning to lag behind. To understand the complete phenomenon of magnetic hysteresis, consider a ring of magnetic material (on which a solenoid is wound uniformly as shown in Fig. 1.24. The solenoid in connected to a DC source through a double pole double throw reversible switeh (position "’. Solonois Ring of magnetic material bpor reversible ‘wth DE sate Fig. 1.24 Circuit to trace hysteresis loop Fig. 1.25. Hysteresis loop Electro Magnetic Circuits 23 ‘When the field intensity M7 is increased gradually by increasing current in the solenoid (by decreasing the value of R), the flux density B also increases until saturation point a is reached and ccurve so obtained is oa. If now the magnetising force is gradually reduced to zero by decreasing ‘current in the solenoid to zero. The flux density does not become zero and the curve so obtained is ab as shown in Fig. 1.25. When magnetising force H is zero, the flux density still has value ob Residual Magnetism and Retentivity This value of flux density ‘ob’ retained by the magnetic material is called residual magnetism and the power of retaining this residual magnetism is called retentivity of the material. To demagnetise the magnetic ring, the magnetising force H is reversed by reversing the direction ‘of flow of current in the solenoid. This is achieved by changing the position of double pole, double throw switch (i.e, position °2'), When H is increased in reverse direction, the flux density starts decreasing and becomes zero and curve follows the path bc. Thus residual magnetism of the magnetic ‘material is wiped off by applying magnetising force oc in opposite direction, Coercive Force This value of magnetising force oc required to wipe off the residual magnetism is called coercive force. To complete the loop, the magnetising force HY is increased further in reverse direction tll saturation reaches (point d’) and the curve follows the path ed. Again H is reduced to zero and the curve follows the path de. Where oe represents the residual magnetism. Then H is increased in the positive direction by changing the position of reversible switch to position I’ and increasing the Flow of current in the solenoid. The curve follows the path of ef and the loop is completed. Again of's the magnetising force utilised to wipe off the residual magnetism oe. Hence, isthe total coercive force required in one eycle of magnetisation to wipe off the residual magnetism, Since the meaning of hysteresis is lagging behind, and in this case flux density B always lags bind the magnetising force, H, therefore, loop (abedefa) so obtained is called hysteresis loop. 1.11 Hysteresis Loss ‘When a magnetising force is applied, the magnetic material is magnetised and the molecular magnets are lined up in a particular direction, However, when the magnetising force in a magnetic material is reversed, the internal friction of the molecular magnets opposes the reversal of magnetism, resulting in hysteresis, To overcome this internal friction of the molecular magnets (or to wipe off the residual magnetism), a part of the ‘magnetising force is used, The work done by the magnetising force against this internal friction of ‘molecular magnets produces heat. This energy, which is wasted in the form of heat due to hysteresis, is called hysteresis loss. Hysteresis loss occurs in all the magnetie parts of electrical machines where there is reversal of ‘magnetisation. This loss results in wastage of energy in the form of heat, Consequently, it increases 24 Flectrical Machines the temperature of the machine which is undesirable. Therefore, a suitable magnetie material is selected for the construction of such parts, eg. silicon steel is most suitable in which hysteresis loss 1.12 Importance of Hysteresis Loop ‘The shape and size of hysteresis loop of a magnetic material largely depends upon its nature.

Usually, the ampere-turns (A7)requited forthe airgap is much greater than that required forthe magnetic ‘irouit. tis because the reluctance of airis very high as compared to that offered by iron. Therefore, itis always prefered to keep ar gaps in magnetic circuits as small as possible. Why does leakage occur in a magnetic circut?

Although, the deflection in the needle is ‘opposite is two cases, ‘On the other hand, ifthe bar magnet is kept stationary and the coil is brought nearer to the magnet ‘or away from the magnet, as shown in Fig. 1.28 (6), again a deflection occurs in the needle of the zalvanometer. The deflection in the needle is opposite in the two cases. However, ifthe magnet and the coil both are kept stationary, no matter how much flux is linking With the coil, there is no deflection in the galvanometer needle, Electro Magnetic Circuits 29) ‘The following points are worth noting: (The deflection in the galvanometer needle shows that emf is induced in the coil. This condition ‘occurs only when flux linking with the cireuit changes ie, either magnet or col is in motion, i) The direction of induced emf in the coil depends upon the direction of magnetic field and the dircetion of motion of coil 114 Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction ‘Michael Faraday summed up conclusions of his experiments regarding electro-magnetic induetion into (wo laws, known as Faraday's laus of electro-magnetic induction, First Law: This law states that “Whenever a conductor cuts across the magnetic field, an emf is induced in the conductor.” “Whenever the magnetic flux linking with any circuit (or coil) changes, an emf is induced inthe circuit.” Figure 1.29 shows a conductor placed in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet to which a galvanometer is connected. Whenever, the conductor is moved upward or downward i., across the field, there is deflection in the galvanometer needle which indicates that an emf is induced in the conductor. If the conductor is moved along (parallel) the field, there is no deflection in the needle Which indicates that no emf is induced in the conductor For the second statement, consider a coil placed near a bar magnet and a galvanometer connected ‘across the coil, as shown in Fig. 1.30, When the bar magnet (N-pole) is taken nearer tothe coil [see Fig. 130 (@)] there is deflection in the needle of the galvanometer. If now the bar magnet (pole) is taken away from the coil [see Fig, 1.30 (b)], again there is deflection in the needle of galvanometer but in opposite direction, The deflection in the needle of galvanometer indicates that ema is induced in the coil, 6 {b) Bar magnet takeaway from the col Fig. 1.29 Conductor moving inthe field Fig. 1.30 Collis stationary but bar magnet (fel is moving 30 Electrical Machines ‘Second Law: This law states that “The magnitude of induced emf in a coil is directly proportional 10 the rate of change of flux linkages.

Fleming's Right Hand Rule: This rule is applied to determine the direction of induced emf in a conductor moving across the field and is stated as under, “Stretch, first finger, second finger, and thumb of your right hand mutually perpendicular to ‘each other. IF frst finger indicates the direction of magnetic field, thumb indicates the direction ‘of motion of conductor then second finger will indicate the direction of induced emf in the conductor.” Its illustration is shown in Fig. 1.29. 2. Lenz’s Law: This law is more suitably applied to determine the direction of induced emf in a coil or circuit when flux linking with it changes. It is stated as under: “In effect, electro-magnetically induced emf and hence current flows in a coil or circuit in such «direction that the magnetic field set up by it, always opposes the very cause which produces it.” Explanation: When N-pole of bar magnet is taken nearer to the coil as shown in Fig. 1.30, an emf is induced in the coil and hence current flows through it in such a direction that side ‘B’ ofthe coil attains North polarity which opposes the movement of the bar magnet, Whereas, when N-pole of the bar magnet is taken away from the coil as shown in Fig. 1.30, the direction of emf induced in the Electro Magnetic Cirewits 31 coil is reversed and side “B' of the coil attains South polarity which again opposes the movernent of the bar magnet 116 Induced emf ‘When flux linking with a conductor (or coil) changes, an emf is induced in it. This change in flux linkages can be obtained in the following two ways: () By either moving the conductor and keeping the magnetic field system stationary or moving the magnetic field system and keeping the conductor stationary, in such a way that conductor ccuts across the magnetic field (as in ease of DC and AC generators). The emf induced in this, way is called dynamically induced emf By changing the flux linking with the coil (or conductor) without moving either coil or field system, However, the change of Flux produced by the field system linking with the coil i obtained by changing the current in the field system (solenoid), asin transformers, The emf induced in this way is called statically induced emf 147 Dynamically Induced emf By cither moving the conductor keeping the magnetic field system stationary or moving the field system keeping the conductor stationary so that flux is eut by the conductor, the emf thus induced in the conductor is called dynamically induced emf Mathematical Expression Considering a conductor of length ! metre placed in the magnetic field of flux density B Wb/m? is moving at right angle tothe field ata velocity v metrehecond as shown in Fig. 1.31 (a.

This property (ie., inductance) is attained by a coil due to self-induced emf produced in the coil itselfby the changing current flowing through it. Ifthe current inthe coil is increasing (by the change in circuit conditions), the self-induced emf is produced in the coil in such a direction so as to oppose the rise of current i. the direction of self-induced emt is opposite to that of the applied voltage. On the other hand, ifthe current in the coil is decreasing, the selfinduced emf is produced in the coil in such direction so as to oppose the fall of current ic, the direction of selfinduced emf is in the ‘same direction as that ofthe applied voltage. In fact, sel inductance does not prevent the change of current but it delays the change of current flowing through a coil, ‘It may be noted that this property of the coil only opposes the changing current (ie., alternating current). However, it does not affect the steady (1, direct) current when flows through it. In other ‘words, the selfinductance of the coil (by virtue of its geometrical and magnetic properties) will exhibit its presence to the alternating current but it will not exhibit its presence tothe direct current, Expressions for self inductance: ara b= giglime «= 12) = Ae[sincee = we = nth T a). wf mM_) ar" ar) Tratigh, (ms Trauca, | 1.20 Mutual Inductance The property of one coil due to which it opposes the change of current inthe other (neighbouring) coil is called mutual-inductance between the two coils This property (ie,, mutual-inductance) is attained by a coil due to mutually induced emf in the coil while current in the neighbouring coil is changing.

The magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit adjusts itselfin accordance with this steady value of current so thatthe rlationship imposed by magnctisation (B-H) curve in satisfied. However, with AC excitation, inductance comes into picture even at steady. state condition. As a result for most of the magnetic circuits (not fr all) the flux is determined by the impressed voltage and frequency. Then the magnetisation current adjusts itself in accordance with this flux so thatthe relationship imposed by the magnetisation (B-H) curve is satisfied Usually, for economic reasons, the normal working flux density in a magnetic circuit is kept beyond the linear portion of the magnetisation curve thus accurate analysis cannot be predicted for determining self inductance. However, for all practical purposes the parameters of the magnetic circuit are considered to be constant.

A force of attraction acts on the two ends and the soft iron piece will try to come in line with the main field ie., the position of least reluctance path, This anticlockwise torque tries to decrease the angle @ and is considered as negative. [See Fig. 1.46 (@)]. When soft iron piece is rotated through an angle @= 90°, an equal force of attraction and repulsion acts on each end of short iron piece [see Fig. 1.46 ()], therefore, torque produced is Electro Magnetic Cirewits $1 zer0, This isthe unstable position of the soft iron piece, because a slight change in angle @in either direction wall ereate a torque in that direction. When soft iron piece is rotated through an angle @ (@> 90°), then by magnetic induction ends A and B become South and North poles respectively. A force of attraction acts on the ends and soft iron piece will try to come in line with the main field ‘This clockwise torque tries to inerease the angle and is considered as positive [See Fig. 1.46 (0 ‘When soft iron piece is rotated through an angle @= 180°, then by magnetic induction ends A and £B will obtain South and North polarity respectively [see Fig. 146 (d) There isa force of attraction tends A as well as at B of soft iron piece which being equal and opposite cancel each other. In this position, torque produced is zero. This is the stable position, because any change in angle 0 will create a Corque which will tend to restore it position Following the similar explanation, the torque produced in the soft iron piece for various positions between 180° 10 360° ie, 180° < 8< 360° can be determined. ‘When 270° > > 180°, torque produce is negative (anticlockwise) as shown in Fig. 1.46 (0) ‘When 9= 270°, torque produced is zero, and itis an unstable position as shown in Fig. 1.46 (/. When360° > @> 270", torque produced is positive (clockwise) as shown in Fig. 146 (g) When 8= 360°, torque produced is zero and itis a stable position In fact, when a solt iron piece is placed in the magnetic field, by magnetic induction iron piece is magnetised, The magnetised iron piece produces its own field, the axis of that field is shown by arrow head F, The axis of the main magnetic ficld is shown by the arrowhead F,,. The rotor field F, tries to come in line with F,, due to which torque develops. Hence, it can be said that torque is developed by the alignment of two fields, The angle between two magnetic fields on which torque depends is called torque angle. This torque angle is measured with respect to the direction to the direction of rotation of soft iron picce. "Thus, iis concluded that the torque is a function of torque angle 8, The variation of torque with respect to angle 0s shown in Fig. 147.

When the rotating magnet in rotated through in angle 6 @ being less than 90, equal to 90° more than 90° but less than 180°), its north pole will be attracted towards the south pole and south pole will be attracted towards the north pole of permanent stationary magnets [see Fig. 1.48 (b), (©) and. @ respectively) In other words, we can say thatthe rotor field F, tries to come in line with main field F,, and torque is developed. This anticlockwise torque is considered as negative, because it is decreasing the torque angle 6, ‘When the permanent rotating magnet is rotated through an angle 0 = 180°, the two field F, and F, are in Tine with each other but acting in opposite direction [see Fig, 1.48 (@)], therefore, torque developed is zero but this isthe unstable position because slight change in angle @in cither direction ‘will ereate a torque in that direction and the rotor will not regain its original position, ip 148, Coma Electro Magnetic Circuits $3 -s Fig. 1.48 Permanent magnet in magnetic field ‘When the permanent rotating magnet i rotated through an angle @more than 180°, but less than 360° (1c, Bis ess than 270°, equal to 270", more than 270°), its north and south poles will be attracted towards the south and north poles of the permanent stationary magnets respectively [see Figs. 48 (),() and (t respeotvely- In other words, F, will ry to come inline with F, and thus torque is
