1.4: The magnetic field

Basic principles underlying usage of magnetic field

1. A wire carrying a current produces a magnetic field


around it.
2. A time-changing magnetic field induces a voltage in a
coil of wire if it passes through that coil (transformer
action).
3. A wire carrying a current in the presence of a magnetic
field experiences a force induced on it (motor action).
4. A wire moving in the presence of a magnetic field gets
a voltage induced in it (generator action).

1.4: The magnetic field

Calculations of magnetic flux are always approximations!

1. We assume that all flux is confined within the


magnetic core but a leakage flux exists outside the
core since permeability of air is non-zero!
2. A mean path length and cross-sectional area are
assumed…
3. In ferromagnetic materials, the permeability varies
with the flux.
4. In air gaps, the cross-sectional area is bigger due to
the fringing effect.
The fringing effect results from the presence of the air gap in the magnetic circuit.
The main consequence of the fringing effect is to make the magnetic flux density
of the air gap different from the flux density of the core due to the path of the flux.

mean path length is 40cm. There is a small
gap of 0.05cm in the structure of the otherwise
whole core. The csa of the core is 12cm2, the
relative permeability of the core is 4000, and
the coil of wire on the core has 400 turns.
Assume that fringing in the air gap increases
the effective csa of the gap by 5%. Given this
information, find
1.the total reluctance of the flux path

2.the current required to produce a flux
density of 0.5T in the air gap.

1.4.3. Magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials

Magnetic permeability can be defined as:


B

H
and was previously assumed as constant. However, for the ferromagnetic
materials (for which permeability can be up to 6000 times the permeability of
air), permeability is not a constant…

EE 313 Electric Machines Fall 2014


24

1.4: The magnetic field

The magnetizing intensity is: Ni F


H 
lc lc

The magnetic flux density:   BA


 Therefore, the magnetizing intensity is directly
proportional to mmf and the magnetic flux density is
directly proportional to magnetic flux for any
magnetic core.
 Permeability is large and relatively constant in
the unsaturated region whereas it drops to low
value as the core gets saturated.

 Ferromagnetic materials are advantageous since they allow to produce


much more flux for the given mmf than when air is used.

EE 313 Electric Machines Fall 2014


25

1.4: The magnetic field

 Generators and motors operate near the knee of the


magnetization curve

– If the resulting flux has to be proportional to the mmf,


then the core must be operated in the unsaturated
region.

– Generators and motors depend on magnetic flux to


produce voltage and torque, so they need as much
flux as possible.

 As magnetizing intensity H is increased, the relative


permeability first increases and then starts to drop off.

1.4.4. Energy losses in a ferromagnetic core

If instead of a DC, a sinusoidal current is


applied to a magnetic core, a hysteresis loop
will be observed…
If a large mmf is applied to a core and then
removed, the flux in a core does not go to
zero! A magnetic field (or flux), called the
residual field (or flux), will be left in the
material. To force the flux to zero, an amount
of mmg (coercive mmf) is needed.

EE 313 Electric Machines Fall 2014


27

1.4: The magnetic field

Ferromagnetic materials consist


of small domains, within which
magnetic moments of atoms
are aligned. However, magnetic
moments of domains are
oriented randomly.

When an external magnetic field is applied, the domains pointing in the direction of
that field grow since the atoms at their boundaries physically switch their orientation
and align themselves in the direction of magnetic field. This increases magnetic flux
in the material which, in turn, causes more atoms to change orientation. As the
strength of the external field increases, more domains change orientation until almost
all atoms and domains are aligned with the field. Further increase in mmf can cause
only the same flux increase as it would be in a vacuum. This is a saturation.

EE 313 Electric Machines Fall 2014


28

1.4: The magnetic field

 When the external field is removed, the domains do not completely


randomize again. Re-aligning the atoms would require energy! Initially,
such energy was provided by the external field.

 Atoms can be realigned by an external mmf in other direction,


mechanical shock, or heating.

 The hysteresis loss in the core is the energy required to re-orient


domains during each cycle of AC applied to the core.

 Another type of energy losses is an eddy currents loss, which will be


examined later.

1.5: Faraday’s law


Induced Voltage From a Time-Changing Magnetic Field

If a flux passes through a turn of a coil of wire, a voltage will be induced in that turn
which is directly proportional to the rate of change in the flux with respect to time:

d
eind  
dt
For a coil having N turns:

d
eind  N
dt
eind – voltage induced in the coil
N – number of turns of wire in the coil
ɸ – flux passing through the coil

EE 313 Electric Machines Fall 2014


30

1.5: The Faradays law


The “minus sign” in the equation is a consequence of the “Lenz’s law”.
“The direction of the induced voltage in the
coil is such that if the coil terminals were d
short circuited, it would produce a current eind  N
that would cause a flux opposing the original dt
flux change.”

EE 313 Electric Machines Fall 2014


31

1.5: The Faradays law

Assume that the same flux is passing through each turn of the coil. If the windings
are closely coupled, this assumption almost holds. In most cases, a flux leakage
occurs. Therefore, more accurately:

1.5: The Faradays law


A nature of Eddy Current Losses:
Voltages are generated within a ferromagnetic core by a time-changing
magnetic flux same way as they are induced in a wire. These voltages
cause currents flowing in the resistive material (ferromagnetic core)
called eddy currents. Therefore, energy is dissipated by these currents in
the form of heat.

 The amount of energy lost to eddy currents


is proportional to the size of the paths they
travel within the core. Therefore, ferromagnetic
cores are frequently laminated.
 Core consists of a set of tiny isolated strips.
 Eddy current losses are proportional to the
square of the lamination thickness.

A second major effect of a magnetic field is
that it induces a force on a wire carrying a
current within the field.

Where:
I is a vector of current,
B is the magnetic flux density vector.

For a wire of length l carrying a current i in a magnetic field with a flux


density B that makes an angle  to the wire, the magnitude of the force is:

F  ilB sin 

l is its length in the magnetic field,
