This paper deals with an analytical method to effectively calculate the inductance of an exterior-rotor switched reluctance motor(SRM),which evaluates the winding inductance of both the active section and the end section,accounting for the influence of core saturation.According to the inductance calculated by the analytical model,the flux linkage table and torque table can be established,and the steady state performance such as phase current,flux linkage,copper loss and core loss can be predicted.Effectiveness of this method is verified by the finite element method as well as by experimental results of a 12/8 SRM prototype.

Improved Model of Radial Vibration in Switched Reluctance Motor Including Magnetic Saturation

This paper proposes an improved method for the prediction of radial vibration in switched reluctance motor(SRM)considering magnetic saturation.In this paper,the basic modeling principle is briefly introduced,it is based on the derivation that the peak acceleration is dependent on the product of phase current and current gradient idi/dt.However,the derivation may cause errors due to saturation effect.Thus in this paper,the discrete sample data are firstly acquired based on DC pulse measurement method,by which electromagnetic,torque and peak acceleration characteristics can all be acquired.Then the entire peak acceleration characteristics are obtained by improved Least Square Support Vector Machine(LSSVM).Based on the obtained static peak acceleration characteristics,the time-varied radial vibration model is established based on superposition of natural oscillations of dominant vibration modes.Finally,a simulation model is built up using MATLAB/Simulink.The good agreement between simulation and experiment shows that the proposed method for modeling is feasible and accurate,even under saturation.In addition,since LSSVM does not need any prior knowledge,it is much easier for modeling compared with other existing literatures.

Theoretical characterization of the temperature-dependent saturation magnetization of magnetic metallic materials

Based on the force-heat equivalence energy density principle,a theoretical model for magnetic metallic materials is developed,which characterizes the temperature-dependent magnetic anisotropy energy by considering the equivalent relationship between magnetic anisotropy energy and heat energy;then the relationship between the magnetic anisotropy constant and saturation magnetization is considered.Finally,we formulate a temperature-dependent model for saturation magnetization,revealing the inherent relationship between temperature and saturation magnetization.Our model predicts the saturation magnetization for nine different magnetic metallic materials at different temperatures,exhibiting satisfactory agreement with experimental data.Additionally,the experimental data used as reference points are at or near room temperature.Compared to other phenomenological theoretical models,this model is considerably more accessible than the data required at 0 K.The index included in our model is set to a constant value,which is equal to 10/3 for materials other than Fe,Co,and Ni.For transition metals(Fe,Co,and Ni in this paper),the index is 6 in the range of 0 K to 0.65T_(cr)(T_(cr) is the critical temperature),and 3 in the range of 0.65T_(cr) to T_(cr),unlike other models where the adjustable parameters vary according to each material.In addition,our model provides a new way to design and evaluate magnetic metallic materials with superior magnetic properties over a wide range of temperatures.

Criterion of Magnetic Saturation and Simulation of Nonlinear Magnetization for a Linear Multi-core Pulse Transformer

The linear multi-core pulse transformer is an important primary driving source used in pulsed power apparatus for the production of dense plasma owing to its compact, relatively low-cost and easy-to-handle characteristics. The evaluation of the magnetic saturation of the transformer cores is essential to the transformer design, because the energy transfer efficiency of the transformer will degrade significantly after magnetic saturation. This work proposes analytical formulas of the criterion of magnetic saturation for the cores when the transformer drives practical loads. Furthermore, an electric circuit model based on a dependent source treatment for simulating the electric behavior of the cores related to their nonlinear magnetization is developed using the initial magnetization curve of the cores. The numerical simulation with the model is used to evaluate the validity of the criterion. Both the criterion and the model are found to be in agreement with the experimental data.

Effect of chromium substitution on structural, electrical and magnetic properties of NiZn ferrites

Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2-xCrxO4(0≤x≤0.5)ferrites were successfully prepared by conventional solid state reaction method to investigate the effect of chromium substitution on the structural,electrical and magnetic properties.X-ray powder diffraction results demonstrate that all the prepared samples are well crystallized single-phase spinel structures without secondary phase.As chromium concentration increases,the lattice parameter and crystallite size gradually decrease.The magnetic measurement indicates that saturation magnetization is substantially suppressed by Cr3+doping,changing from 73.5 A·m2/kg at x=0 to 46.3 A·m2/kg at x=0.5.While the room-temperature electrical resistivity is more than four orders of magnitude enhanced by Cr3+substitution,reaching up to 1.1×108Ω·cm at x=0.5.The dielectric constant monotonously decreases with rising frequency for these ferrites,showing a normal dielectric dispersion behavior.The compositional dependence of dielectric constant is inverse with that of electrical resistivity,which originates from the reduced Fe2+/Fe3+electric dipole number by doping,indicating inherent correlation between polarization and conduction mechanism in ferrite.

After annealing at the temperature equal to the substrate temperature during deposition, the saturation magnetization decreased.

Magnetic properties of Sn-substituted Ni-Zn ferrites synthesized from nano-sized powders of NiO, ZnO, Fe_2O_3, and SnO_2

A series of Ni_（0.6-x/2）Zn_（0.4-x/2）Sn_xFe_2O_4（x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, and 0.3）（NZSFO） ferrite composities have been synthesized from nano powders using a standard solid state reaction technique. The spinel cubic structure of the investigated samples has been confirmed by x-ray diffraction（XRD）. The magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization（M_s）,remanent magnetization（M_r）, coercive field（H_c）, and Bohr magneton（μ） are calculated from the hysteresis loops. The value of M_s is found to decrease with increasing Sn content in the samples. This change is successfully explained by the variation of A-B interaction strength due to Sn substitution in different sites. The compositional stability and quality of the prepared ferrite composites have also been endorsed by the fairly constant initial permeability（μ＇） over a wide range of frequency. The decreasing trend of μ＇ with increasing Sn content has been observed. Curie temperature TChas been found to increase with the increase in Sn content. A wide spread frequency utility zone indicates that the NZSFO can be considered as a good candidate for use in broadband pulse transformers and wide band read-write heads for video recording. The composition of x = 0.05 shows unusual results and the possible reason is also mentioned with the established formalism.

After ordering, the specific saturation magnetization decreased from 134.2 to 85.0 A.m2.kg-1. For use in anti-EMI material, the total contents of Si and Al in FeSiAl alloys should be controlled at a low level.

The effective magnetic anisotropy of these fine particles is found in an order of 10 6 erg/cm 3 that is much greater than that of normal crystal size of particles. The dependence of magnetic anisotropy on the particle size was studied. It has been demonstrated that the strain anisotropy occupies the most of the total magnetic anisotropy, and the internal strain is a critical factor for their magnetic properties.

Role of compositional changes on thermal,magnetic,and mechanical properties of Fe-P-C-based amorphous alloys

This work aimed to tune the comprehensive properties of Fe-P-C-based amorphous system through investigating the role of microalloying process on the crystallization behavior,glass forming ability(GFA),soft magnetic features,and mechanical properties.Considering minor addition of elements into the system,it was found that the simultaneous microalloying of Ni and Co leads to the highest GFA,which was due to the optimization of compositional heterogeneity and creation of near-eutectic composition.Moreover,the FeCoNiCuPC amorphous alloy exhibited the best anelastic/viscoplastic behavior under the nanoindentation test,which was owing to the intensified structural fluctuations in the system.However,the improved plasticity by the extra Cu addition comes at the expense of magnetic properties,so that the saturation magnetization of this alloying system is significantly decreased compared to the FeCoPC amorphous alloy with the highest soft magnetic properties.In total,the results indicated that a combination of added elemental constitutes,i.e.,Fe69Co5Ni5Cu1P13C7 composition,provides an optimized state for the comprehensive properties in the alloying system.
