Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present the method which relatively easily allows to approximate the hysteresis loop of the dynamo or transformer steel sheets. The paper also looks into the formulation of an equation allowing determination of distribution of the flux density and eddy currents in cross-section of these sheets.

Design/methodology/approach

An exponential function was applied in the presented method relating to the approximation of the hysteresis loop. When the field strength changes its value, then, the flux density are the sum or difference of a function, describing the lower or upper hysteresis curve and some “ransient” component. On the basis of Maxwell’s equations and Amper’s law, one non-linear differential equation was formulated which allows to calculate the flux density and eddy currents in a cross-section of a transformer sheet.

Findings

The method which relatively easily allows approximation of the hysteresis loop of ferromagnetic material is presented in the paper. The paper presents the derivation of one non-linear differential equation, allowing calculation of the flux density and eddy currents in the cross-section of the transformer sheets, taking into account the hysteresis phenomenon.

Practical implications

The paper presents the method that can be used in modeling of the hysteresis loops of dynamo or transformer sheets, and the final non-linear differential equation can be applied in calculations of the magnetic field and eddy currents in cross-section of the transformer sheets.

Originality/value

The paper refers to important issues of modeling and calculations of the magnetic and eddy current field distribution in transformer steel sheets.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present the differences in results of numerical calculations arising from different simplifications of the rotational magnetization model in typical dynamo sheets.

Design/methodology/approach

A comprehensive model of rotational magnetization processes in typical dynamo sheets should take into consideration the magnetic hysteresis and eddy current phenomena and also certain anisotropic properties. The chosen model of the rotational magnetization is briefly presented in this paper. A method of the inclusion of the rotational magnetization model into equations of the magnetic field distribution is described. The correctness of these equations has been verified experimentally. Numerical calculations of the rotational magnetization in two types of dynamo sheets were carried out for several simplifications of the described model.

Findings

Results of numerical calculations of the rotational magnetization with the omission of the hysteresis phenomenon or with the omission of eddy currents were compared with results obtained with the use of the comprehensive model of the rotational magnetization.

Practical implications

The paper presents comments and recommendations concerning the omission of both the hysteresis phenomenon and eddy currents in the analysis of the rotational magnetization in dynamo sheets and the impact of these simplifications on numerical calculation results.

Originality/value

The content of the paper refers to very important issues of modeling and calculations of the rotational magnetization in typical dynamo steel sheets.

The aim of the paper is to present the approximation methods of the magnetizing characteristics of the salient pole synchronous machines with the fundamental MMF harmonics.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of the paper is to present the approximation methods of the magnetizing characteristics of the salient pole synchronous machines with the fundamental MMF harmonics.

Design/methodology/approach

The energy based approach is used to formulate a set of the functions approximating the magnetic flux linkages versus an equivalent magnetizing current in the circuit model of the synchronous machine. The estimation of the approximation functions parameters is based on the results of the field calculations.

Findings

The identification of the approximation functions is effective and significantly simpler on the basis of the magnetic field co‐energy function, than on the basis of the magnetic flux linkages.

Research limitations/implications

The magnetic field co‐energy function determined by FEM is sufficient for simplified calculations of the magnetic parameters occurring in the circuit models of the electrical machines with nonlinear core.

Practical implications

The paper provides guidance for the circuit modelling of the multi‐pole generators and motors under conditions of magnetic saturation.

Originality/value

A paper has succeeded in determining the internal magnetic characteristics of the synchronous machine with a salient pole rotor.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this paper is to present a new relatively simple model of the rotational magnetization process in anisotropic sheets.

Design/methodology/approach

The surface of a sample of an anisotropic sheet is divided into an assumed number of specified directions. To each direction a certain hysteresis loop, the so‐called direction hysteresis, is assigned. The parameters of the proposed model are calculated on the basis of such values as the saturation flux density, the residual flux density (remanence), and the coercive force. It is also necessary to take into account the anisotropy constant and also the distribution function of the grains in the sample of the given anisotropic material.

Findings

The model of the rotational magnetization process of soft ferromagnetic materials takes into account two fundamental phenomena: the irreversible domain wall movements and the rotations of the flux density vectors from the easy magnetization axes. This model can also be used for the modelling of the axial magnetization process.

Practical implications

The proposed model can be used in numerical calculations of the rotational magnetization in magnetic circuits of electrical machines for any work conditions. However, for the comprehensive calculation of the magnetic field distribution this model should be completed with eddy current equations. Eddy currents influence magnetic field distribution in electric steel sheets.

Originality/value

A new model of the rotational magnetization process in anisotropic sheets is proposed.
