CALCULATION OF TRANSIENT ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES IN AN AXISYMMETRICAL ELECTROMAGNET WITH CONDUCTIVE SOLID PARTS Available to Purchase

The paper describes the analysis and the calculation of transient response of a voltage fed electromagnet. This calculation is based on the simultaneous solution of the magnetic field equations and the electrical circuit equations. In the modelling of the magnetic fields, eddy currents in solid conductive parts and saturation of magnetic parts are taken into account. This modelling uses Finite Element Method for the calculation of magnetic fields and forces with special quadrilateral elements. Experimental and simulation results for an axisymmetrical electromagnet are presented and compared.
