This review is followed by a discussion of the development of the mechanical forces that are caused by the interaction of magnetic fields and that form the basis for all motor sction. Faraday’s law provides the basis from which all magnetically induced voltages are derived. The relationship between applied torque and countertorque is developed and visualized through the application of Lenz's law and the “flux bunching” rule. 1.2 MAGNETIC FIELD ‘A magnetic field is a condition resulting from electric charges in motion. The mag- netic field of a permanent magnet is attributed to the uncompensated spinning of elec- trons about their own axis within the atomic structure of the material and to the par- allel alignment of these electrons with similar uneompensated electron spins in the adjacent atoms. Groups of adjacent atoms with parallel magnetic spins are called domains. The magnetic field surrounding a current-carrying conductor is caused by the movement of electric charges in the form of an electric current. For convenience in visualization and analysis, magnetic fields are represented on diagrams by closed loops. These loops, called magnetic flux lines, have been assigned specific direction that is related to the polarity of a magnet, or the direction of current in acoil or a conductor. . The direction of the magnetic field around a current can be determined by the right-hand rule: Grasp the conductor with the right hand, with the thumb pointing in the direction of conventional current, and the fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field. This can be visualized in Figure 1.1(a). 21 Chapter 1 FIGURE 1.1 ® Direction of magnetic flux: (a) around a current-carrying conductor; (b) in a coil; (c} about a magnet ay Vai \ Ke f AN. \ 4 ) (©) Ina similar manner, to determine the direction of the magnetic field generated by a current through a coil of wire, grasp the coil with the right hand, with the fingers curled in the direction of the current, and the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic field. This can be visualized in Figure 1.1(b). ‘The direction of the magnetic field supplied by a magnet is out from the north pole and into the south pole, but is south-to-north within the magnet, as shown in Figure 1.1(¢). 1.3 MAGNETIC CIRCUIT DEFINED Each magnetic circuit shown in Figure 1.2 is an arrangement of ferromagnetic materi- als called a core that forms a path to contain and guide the magnetic flux in a specific direction. The core shape shown in Figure 1.2(a) is used in transformers. Figure 1.2(b) Magnetics, Electromagnetic Forces, Generated Voltage, and Energy Conversion | 3 FIGURE 1.2 Magnetic circuit: (a) for a transformer; (b) for a simple two-pole mot shows the magnetic circuit of a simple two-pole motor, it includes a stator core, a rotor core, and two air gaps. Note that the flux always takes the shortest path across an air gap. Magnetomotive Force The ampere-tums (A-t) of the respective coils in Figure 1.2 represent the driving force, called magnetomotive force or mmf, that causes a magnetic field to appear in the corresponding magnetic circuits, Expressed in equation form, F=Ne1 (-l) where: ¥F = magnctomotive force (mmf) in ampere-tums (A-t) N = number of turns in coil 1 = current in coil (A) Magnetic Field Intensity Magnetic field intensity, also called mmf gradient, is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length of magnetic circuit, and it may vary from point to point throughout the magnetic circuit. The average magnitude of the field intensity in a homogeneous section of a magnetic circuit is numerically equal (o the mmf across the section divided by the effective length of the magnetic section. That is, eZ Nt te (1-2) 41 Chapter 1 where: He magnetic ficld intensity (A-t/m) mean length of the magnetic circuit; or section (m) $ mmf (A-t) Note that in a homogeneous magnetic circuit of uniform cross section, the field inten- sity is the same at all points in the magnetic circuit, In composite magnetic circuits, consisting of sections of different materials andJ/or different cross-sectional areas, however, the magnetic field intensity differs from section to section. Magnetic field intensity has many useful applications in magnetic circuit caleu- lations. One specific application is calculating the magneric-potential difference, also called magnetic drop or mmf drop, actoss a section of a magnetic circuit. The magnetic drop in ampere-tums per meter of magnetic core length in a magnetic circuit is analo- ‘gous to the voltage drop in volts per meter of conductor length in an electric circuit. Flux Density The flux density is a measure of the concentration of lines of flux in a particular sec- tion of a magnetic circuit. Expressed mathematically, and referring to the homoge- neous core in Figure 1.2(a), 2 B= a a-3) where: ® = flux, webers (Wb) A = cross-sectional area (m*) B = flux density (Wb/n), or teslas (T) 1.4 RELUCTANCE AND THE MAGNETIC CIRCUIT EQUATION A very useful equation that expresses the relationship between magnetic flux, mmf, and the reluctance of the magnetic circuit is (-4) ‘luctance of magnetic circuit (A-t/Wb) Reluctance & isa measure of the opposition the magnetic circuit offers to the flux and is analogous to resistance in an electric circuit. The reluctance of a magnetic circuit, or section of a magnetic circuit, is related to its length, cross-sectional area, and perme- ability. Solving Eq.

Magnetic Permeability ‘The ratio p. = BIH is called magnetic permeability and has different values for differ- ent degrees of magnetization of a specific magnetic core material. - 1.5 RELATIVE PERMEABILITY AND MAGNETIZATION CURVES Relative permeability is the ratio of the permeability of a material to the permeability of free space: it is. in effect, a figure of merit that is very useful for comparing the magnetizability of different magnetic materials whose relative permeabilities are known. Expressed in equation form, K ed (-7) Huo where: jy = permeability of free space = 410°?

(I-5) for some commonly used ferromagnetic materials are shown in Figure 1.3. The graphs, called BeH curves, magnetization curves, ot saturation curves, are very useful in design, and in the analysis of machine and trans- former behavior. The four principal sections of a typical magnetization. curve are illustrated in Figure 1.4, The curve is concave up for “low” values of magnetic field intensity, ex- hibits a somewhat (but not always) linear characteristic for “medium” field intensities, and then is concave down for “high” field intensities, eventually flattening to an almost horizontal line for “very high” intensities. The part of the curve that is concave down is known as the knee of the curve, and the “fattened” section is the saturation region. 6 | Chapter 1 150) = 1.00) e s z a = 0.50] 0 FIGURE 1.3 300 000 1500 2000 2500 Magnetic Field Intensity (H. Ast/m) Representative 8-H curves for some commonly used ferromagnatic materials. Magnetic saturation is complete when all of the magnetic domains of the material are oriented in the direction of the applied magnetomotive force. Saturation begins at the start of the knec region and is essentially complete when the curve starts to flatten. Depending on the specific application, the magnetic core of an apparatus may be operated in the linear region, and/or the saturation region, For example, transformers and AC machines are operated in the linear region and lower end of the knee; self- excited DC generators and DC motors are operated in the upper end of the knee region, extending into the saturation region; separately excited DC generators are operated in the linear and lower end of the knee region. Magnetization curves supplied by manufacturers for specific electrical steel sheets or casting are usually plotted on semilog paper, and often include a curve of relative permeability vs. field intensity, as shown in Figure 1.5.' "Figure 1.5. as furnished by the manufacturer. has the magncticfild intensity expressed in oersteds, a cps Unit. ‘To convert to A-Vim multiply by 79.577, See Appendix K for other conversion Factors, Although fot shown, the rinimum value of, = 1.0. and it occurs when saturation is consplete, resulting in i= to.

(1-7) for jz, and then substituting into Eq. (1-6). The result is R=—= (1-8) Equation (1-8) indicates that the reluctance of magnetic circuit is affected by the rel- ative permeability of the material, which, as shown in Figure 1.5, is dependent on the magnetization, and hence is not constant.

This phenomenon, shown in Fig- ure 1.8(b), is called hysteresis, and the resultant curve is called an hysteresis loop. Starting with an unmagnetized ferromagnetic core, point O on the curve, H = 0 and B = 0, Increasing the coil current in the positive direction inereases the ampere- tums, and hence the magnetic field intensity. From Eqs. (1-1) and (1-2), NI H € When the current reaches its maximum value, the flux density and magnetic field in- tensity have their respective maximum values, and the curve is at point a; this initial trace of the curve, drawn with a broken line, is called the virgin section of the curve. As the current decreases, the curve follows a different path, and when the current is re- duced to zero, His reduced to zero, but the flux density in the core lags behind, hold- ing at point b on the curve. The flux density at point b is the residual magnetism. This lagging of flux behind the magnetizing force is the hysteresis effect. AS the alternating current and associated magnetic field intensity increase in the negative direction, the residual magnetism decreases but remains positive until point ¢ is reached, at which time the flux density in the core is zero. The negative field inten- sity required.to force the residual magnetism to zero is called the coercive force, and is Flux density (BT) AC Source (a) oy FIGURE 1.8 fa) Magnetic circuit with an alternating mmf; (b) representative hysteresis loop.
