Fundamentals of magnetic field The forces between static electric charges are transmitted via electric field (Coulomb's law). Forces between moving charges (current carrying lines) also appear, those are transmitted via magnetic field. Charges moving with constant speed (direct current) cause constant magnetic field, while charges moving with variable speed (accelerating or slowing) cause variable magnetic field. In the case of moving wire in a magnetic field or when the magnetic field changes around a wire, a physical force acts to the charges of wire separating them by polarity, which results an electric field, an induced voltage. The magnetic field Consider two straight long parallel wires in vacuum (or air) of small cross-section compared to their length. If the charges in the wires move with constant speed (constant currents are flowing) the forces between the wires are constant. Using notation F1=F2=F the value of these forces are expressed as IIl F = k 1 2 (N). a I1 F1 I2 F2 l a Forces between current carrying straight conductors VAs If I1=I2=1 A and l=a=1 m, then F = 2 ⋅ 10 −7 N = , m Vs Vs 4π 10 −7 µ 0 = = , here µ 0 = 4π 10−7 the magnetic permeAm 2π 2π Am ability of vacuum. This formula may be used to define the current of 1 A. Using the value of permeability µ0 for calculation of force: µ IIl F = 0 1 2 (N). 2π a The direction of the forces are attractive in the case of unidirectional currents and they are repulsive in the case of opposite direction of currents. Description and understanding the magnetic field is simpler when dc current assumed. Interpret force F2 in the figure as follows: the moving charges of current I1 create special state of the space (the magnetic field) around the wire which field acts on the charges moving inside the second wire carrying current I2. consequently k = 2 ⋅ 10 −7 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems 2014 H1 I1 B1 Magnetic field around a long straight conductor carrying current I1 The first space variable vector which describes the magnetic field is the magnetic field intensity H . In homogeneous substance the magnetic field intensity (field strength) H1 from current I1 defined as: I H1 = 1 , the force F2 to the wire 2 carrying current I2 expressed as: 2π a F2=H1µ0I2l. In homogeneous and ferromagnetic substance the calculation of the magnetic field intensity H is more complicated, the Ampère's excitation law has to be used. The magnetic field intensity H is a vector, its direction in each point of the space is the same as the north (N) side of compass needle. Around a single wire the direction of field intensity is the same as a right-thread screw turns. The SI unit of magnetic field intensity A [H ] = . m Magnetic field intensity in each point of the space is illustrated by directed lines. These lines form closed paths, they do not arise and do not end. H1 B1 I1 F2 H1 B1 I2 I1 I2 F2 Force to a current carrying wire in the field of another conductor Consider a wire of length l carrying current I in a field of magnetic field intensity H . The force exerted F = µ 0 lI × H , where the direction of I is the same as the movement of positive charges inside the conductor. In the case shown on the figure F2 = µ 0 lI 2 × H1 . 2 Fundamentals of magnetic field Example A conductor carries 1 A, the magnetic field intensity from 1 m of the conductor is A H = 0.159 . m A The magnitude of the force on a wire being in a magnetic field of H = 1 , carrying 1 A is m N F = 2π 10 −7 . m The other space variable vector describing the magnetic field is the magnetic flux density B . The magnitude of flux density depends on the substance in the space, its SI unit in honour of Tesla's1 scientific activity Vs [B] = T = tesla = m 2 . At magnetic field strength H B = µ 0µ r H , here µr – the relative permeability, a substance specific, non-dimensional factor. The relative permeability is often not a constant, its value may depend on the magnetic field intensity and also on the initial magnetic conditions. Example The magnetic flux density at magnetic field intensity H = 1 A in free space B=4π10-7 T. m The direction of flux density vector B is usually coincides with that of field intensity H : the direction of the compass needle to the north pole at each point of the space. The field lines are directed from the south pole to north inside a magnet (e.g. inside a compass needle) and from the north to south outside the magnet. Consequently, magnetic flux-lines leave the magnet at the north pole and go on towards the south. The compass needle in ordinary use directed to the geographical north pole of earth. S N S H B N Direction of the magnetic field, the definition Inside particular materials – the ferromagnetic materials – the magnetic flux density is significantly increased in contrast to free space. Simple and illustrative explanation of this phenomenon the contribution of the molecular magnets (or circular currents) of such materials to 1 Tesla, Nikola (1856-1942) engineer, investigator, Serbian origin 3 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems 2014 the flux density of external magnetic field. The relative permeability µr expresses the ratio of the flux density in comparison with that in free space; 1 ≤ µr ≤ 103-106. The value of µr is usually determining by measurements or complicated calculations. The magnetic flux density also illustrated by directed lines. The force F acting to a piece of current-carrying wire with length l and current I in arbitrary material substance can be expressed as: F = lI × B . In the case according to the figure F2 = lI 2 × B1 . Example The force to a current-carrying wire with 1 A inside a magnetic field of 1 T is F = 1 N . m The magnetic flux of an area is a scalar value, defined as the surface integral of the flux density to the area of interest: Φ = ∫ BdA , in homogeneous field Φ=BA, the SI unit in honour of Weber's2 scientific activity A [Φ]=Wb =weber=Vs. The magnetic field is often visualised as lines of magnetic flux that form closed paths. The lines are close together where the magnetic field is strong and farther apart where the field is weaker. By convention the flux lines leave the north-seeking end (N) of a magnet (e.g. compass needle) and enter its south-seeking end (S). Example The flux through an area of 1 m2 in a perpendicular homogeneous field of 1 T is 1 Wb. The Ampère's3 law of excitation The most important rule for calculation of magnetic circuit The line integral of the magnetic field intensity vector H around a closed path is equal to the aggregated current through area A enclosed by that path, this aggregated current termed the excitation Θ of the area A. ∫ Hdl = ∫ JdA = Θ . A If the path studied goes along separate parts of homogeneous field intensity than the integral of the left side of equation is simplified as a sum. Whereas if the charge flow concentrated in wires than the integral of the right side of equation is simplified as a sum: ∑ H i l i = ∑ I j . i j In the case of constant permeability µr the law of excitation may also be written as: B 1 ∫ Hdl = ∫ µ dl = µ ∫ Bdl = I , or ∫ Bdl = µ I , here µ=µ0µr.

The same idea used for a toroidal coil, if average diameter Da » d. At these coils the single turns are in series, they have the same current. Applying the Ampère's law of excitation Θ=Hl=NI, where N – the number of turns (number of wires, number of currents). l d d Da Magnetic field of solenoidal and toroidal coils At a given direction of current flow the direction of the magnetic field produced in a coil depends on the direction of the twist of turns.

B F B I I F Illustration of force to a current-carrying wire in homogeneous magnetic field 6 I Fundamentals of magnetic field "Useful" magnetic field and leakage If consider linked coils (like the coils of transformers or the stator-rotor coils of rotating electrical machines) only a portion of produced by one coil magnetic field is linking to the other coil, the rest of the field is „leaking”. The last part termed as flux leakage or magnetic field leakage. The measure of leakage is defined with coefficient of leakage σ: φ σ = l (0 ≤ σ ≤ 1), φt where φt – the total flux, while φl the flux leakage. In certain cases the magnetic leakage is important, e.g. the leakage reactance can limit the short circuit current. The law of flux refraction (the boundary conditions) The field intensity H and the flux density B pass a boundary layer of substances with different permeability different way. Refraction of flux density vector Let us examine the conditions at the boundary between two materials of permeability µ1 and µ2. Consider the flux lines crossing the boundary as shown in figure with angle of incidence α1 and angle of refraction of α2. The flux magnitude through an elemental area dA approached from each side of the boundary must be identical, assuming that no magnetic flux emerges from surface as dA →0. Since the flux-lines are closed, the overall fluxes in the two substances are identical: Φ = ∫ BdA =B1ndA=B1cosα1dA=B2cosα2dA= B2ndA, dA that is the normal component of flux density vector B remains unchanged, it crosses a boundary continuously. According to the excitation law the line integral of the magnetic field intensity around a closed path of width dl is equal to zero if no excitation (no current flowing) on either side. Around the closed path ∫ Hdl = 0 since no current linked: ∫ Hdl = H1tdl- H2tdl= H1sinα1dl- H2sinα2dl=0, hence H1t=H2t, 7 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems 2014 that is the tangential component of field intensity vector H remains unchanged, it crosses a boundary continuously. Refraction of field intensity vector The tangential component of flux density vector B and the normal component of field intensity vector H are changing through the boundary layer. From the statements above H1sinα1 = H2sinα2, or substituting flux density for field intensity: B1 B2 sin α 1 = sin α 2 sin α 1 sin α 2 tgα 1 µ r1 = ⇒ = . µ 0 µ r1 µ 0µ r 2 cos cos µ µ α µ µ α tg α µ r r r 0 1 1 0 2 2 2 2 B1 cos α 1 = B2 cos α 2 The flux-lines at iron-air border-layer Suppose that µr1»µr2 (e.g. at the iron-air boundary, where µriron =106, µrair =1), than tgα1»tgα2, α1»α2, i.e. α1~ 90° while α2~ 0. Consequently the magnetic flux emerges into air normal to the surface of iron with approximately infinitely permeability, the flux-lines leave the iron at right angles. The Faraday's4 induction law This law is one of the most important statement of electrical engineering, discovery of the phenomenon described in it made (and make) possible the generation and public use of electrical energy. 4 Faraday, Michael (1791-1867) English physicist 8 Fundamentals of magnetic field Consider a wire loop (a single turn of a coil), if in any case the flux enclosed by that loop is changing, it produces electrical field, a voltage appears (inducing) in the loop. The magnitude of induced voltage ui(t) is proportional to the flux change φ(t) in the time unit: dφ (t ) ui (t ) = . dt The flux change occurs either because the magnetic field is changing with time (transformer inductance) or because the wire loop is moving relative to a magnetic field (motional inductance). The Faraday's induction law describes both phenomena. a) If a wire loop is fixed and the flux is varying with time because the excitation current or the magnetic circuit is changing the phenomena called transformer inductance. b) In the case of motional inductance a conductor (or wire loop) during its displacement „crosses” the magnetic flux lines i.e. the motion has a component perpendicular to the fluxlines. The main point of induction is that the change of magnetic field causes electrical field. Using the term of induced voltage a phenomenon in magnetic field may be replaced with a phenomenon in electrical circuit. In real equipment the two types of inductance (transformer and motional) often appear simultaneously (eg. in rotating electrical machines). Important notice: If the space contains both static electric and changing magnetic fields, the electric field become non-conservative, because the line integral is no more path-independent, since exist such closed paths which enclose changing magnetic field and the integral along such paths is not zero. In this case the electric potential as scalar descriptor is unusable. In a closed loop the induced voltage produces current according to the resistance of loop. The voltage on the resistance is balancing the induced voltage if no other voltage source in the loop. The Kirchhoff's voltage law for dc circuits: ∑ R j I j + ∑ U ik = 0 , have to be extended j ∑ R I + ∑U j j j ik k k + ∑ U bn = 0 , n here Ui – is induced voltage, Ub – is non induced voltage (e.g. one of galvanic source). (For sinusoidally changing alternating current the voltage law is valid for phasors and impedances are taken into account instead of resistors.) Transformer induction The reference direction of the flux changing and that of the charge-separating electrical field intensity are according to the figure, U i = − Ed l . dφ >0 dt E - + Ui Reference directions for transformer induction 9 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems 2014 The induced voltage depends not of the magnitude of magnetic flux but the magnitude and the direction of the derivative of magnetic flux. φ Ui φ Ui + + - φ φ dφ >0 dt dφ <0 dt t t Polarity of the induced voltage at different directions of flux and derivative of flux (φ > 0) Ui Ui + + - φ φ φ φ t dφ >0 dt t dφ <0 dt Polarity of the induced voltage at different directions of flux and derivative of flux (φ < 0) 10 Fundamentals of magnetic field The flux linkage Usually the changing flux is encircled by a coil of N series turns (and the turns exciting in the same direction) so the induced voltages of the single turns are aggregated for the coil. If each turn of wire linked with flux of the same magnitude then the resultant induced voltage dφ (t ) ui (t ) = N . dt The sum of the fluxes linked with the single turns gives the resultant flux linkage ψ=Nφ which can be used for calculation of the resultant induced voltage: dψ (t ) ui (t ) = . dt The physical unit of the flux linkage Ψ is the same as that of the flux Φ: [Ψ]=Wb=Vs. Lenz's5 law As follows form the conservation of energy principle the currents and forces produced by induction have such an effect, which is decreasing the process generating them. dφ has such polarity that produces a current i through an external The induced voltage U i = dt resistance which opposing the original change of flux linkage, decreasing the inducing effect. The force acting to a current-carrying wire moving in magnetic field brakes the movement. In other words the magnetic field produced in the process of induction acts for conservation of the initial state. This principle appears in the phenomenon of self induction. φ dφ >0 dt i R Ui - i + Magnetic effect of the current produced by induced voltage Motional induced voltage Motional induced voltage is generating in a moving wire because a force of interaction appears between the static magnetic field and the charges travelling with the wire. (For currentcarrying conductors the produced force expressed as: F = lI × B . This force act to the charges which forward it to the conductor.) Define a current I ∗ which is not a „real” one, but helps to calculate a force since the movement of charges. The force F ∗ according to I ∗ : 5 Lenz (Lenc), Heinrich Friedrich Emil (1804-1865) physicist, German origin 11 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems 2014 h Q h Q × B = Qv × B , because I ∗ = and v = . t t t Inside a conductor, moving in a homogeneous magnetic field B with speed v perpendicular both to it's own direction and to B , magnetic force acts to the charges in the conductor. This force separates the charges inside the conductor thus produces an electric field E . The direction of the electric field is the same as the force acting to the positive charges. F ∗ = hI ∗ × B = B l F∗ I∗ +Q +Q dh E - + + v F ui(t) i (t) R - h A possible illustration of motional inductance F∗ E= = v × B . Due to this electric field the charges accumulating by polarity at the ends of Q conductor, which results the appearance of induced voltage. The voltage ui between the ends of a conductor with length l in homogeneous magnetic field expressed as ui = − E l = − v × B l = lB × v , if the reference of voltage is from charges (+) to charges (-). This voltage is an induced voltage, produced by the charge-separating electric field E, often mentioned as electromotive force (emf). dφ ∫ Edl = − dt . The induced voltage causes a (real) current in closed circuit. The interaction of the current I and the magnetic field B produces a physical force F against the movement, according to the Lenz's law. (Another explanation: the density of flux lines increasing in the direction of movement.) This mean that in case of closed circuit the movement of wire requires continuous force, energy. There are two forces discussed: - a force acts to the charges travelling with the conductor, the consequence of which is the charge-separating effect of an electric field E and the induced voltage Ui, - due to the current caused by this induced voltage a force acts to the conductor. The direction of the two forces are different. Flux linkage of a long straight wire of finite dimension The magnetic field produced by low-frequency alternating current or direct current flowing through a long circular conductor will be not only external to the conductor but also exists within the conductor. The internal flux will link only a fraction of the current, this linkage must therefore be treated separately from external. Consider such a conductor in free space of radius rc, carrying a current I. 12 Fundamentals of magnetic field External flux The external magnetic field may be calculated approximately by the same way as that of a conductor with infinitely small size (one dimensional conductor). Assuming uniform current distribution within the conductor, the current density J or the current I: I I J= = 2 , or I = ∫ JdAc = Jrc2π , Ac rc π where rc – the radius of conductor, Ac – the cross-section of conductor. In range of radius a>rc the field intensity He of the external magnetic field I H e (a ) = , while a≥rc. 2π a µ I The external flux density in free space is Be (a ) = µ 0 H e (a ) = 0 . 2π a The annulus external flux dφe enclosed by an area dA=lda determined by annulus da through length l of conductor (into the plane of the paper) is µ I dφ e (a ) = Be (a )dA = 0 lda . 2π a Since the single wire is considered as one turn the flux linkage is equal to the flux dψe=dφe, the total external flux is R R µ Il da µ 0 Il R ψ e = ∫ dφ = 0 ∫ = ln , 2 π a 2 π rc rc rc where – R is a sufficient distance to give zero field (theoretically R→∞).

Hence the internal inductivity of a segment of conductor derived from the internal flux: ψ r2 l i (a ) = i2 = Li c2 for a≤rc. a a I 2 rc li Li a rc Change of internal inductivity The inductance of the conducting elements nearer the centre is greater then that of those near the outside. When the current is alternating the inductive reactance of the elements near the centre is greater then that of those near the outside, and hence more current flows in the elements near outside. Skin effect According to complex, complicated calculations in a circular conductor the current density decreasing from the surface to the centre. A depth of penetration δ used to define distance at which the current density decreases to 1/e of its value at the outer surface. In the case if the radius of the conductor rc> (3-5)δ, the current density can be considered uniform up to the depth of penetration and zero within the radius rc-δ. The influence of skin effect is obviously more pronounced at larger inductive reactance – which varies with the angular frequency of the current ω, and with the inductance. The inductance varies with the permeability of the material of the conductor µ, consequently the larger the permeability, the smaller the depth of penetration. On the other hand, the greater the resistivity of the conductor ρ, the smaller will be the effect of the variation in inductive reactance in causing a non-uniform current distribution. The relationship between the depth of penetration δ and ω, µ and ρ expressed in formula 15 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems δ= 2ρ 2 = ωµ 2πµ 0 2014 ρ 1 = fµ r πµ 0 ρ ρ = 503,3 . fµ r fµ r The equation for the depth of penetration above may be applied to flat sheets (rc→∞). The same considerations apply to the penetrations of alternating magnetic flux into conductors. The proximity effect Similar phenomenon occurs when two conductors carrying alternating currents are in each other's magnetic fields, there will also be a redistribution of currents. The currents are crowding to those parts of the conductors, which link the least amount of flux and therefore have less inductivity. The illustration of proximity effect with skin effect, the current flow identical Example The values for copper: ρCu=1.78⋅10-8 Ωm, µrCu=1, the depth of penetration at frequency f=50 Hz δCu=9.49 mm (8.66 mm at f=60 Hz). The values for aluminium: ρAl=2.9⋅10-8 Ωm, µrAl=1, the depth of penetration at frequency f=50 Hz δAl=12 mm (10.95 mm at f=60 Hz). The values for iron: ρFe=13⋅10-8 Ωm, µrFe=5000, the depth of penetration at frequency f=50 Hz δFe=0.35 mm (0.32 mm at f=60 Hz). δ (m) 0.07 0.06 0.05 0.04 0.03 Al 0.02 Cu 0.01 f (Hz) 0 0 20 40 50 60 80 The depth of penetration vs. frequency 16 100 Fundamentals of magnetic field Skin effect in ferromagnetic surrounding The phenomena in a conductor surrounded by ferromagnetic material are basically the same as the skin and proximity effects in any system of conductors with alternating current in them. The figure shows in cross section of a deep, narrow bar of a squirrel-cage rotor and further shows the general character of the slot-leakage field produced by the current in the bar within this slot, in particular when the depth of the slot exceeds its width. If the rotor iron has infinite permeability, all the leakage-flux lines would close in paths below the slot, as shown. If imagine the bar to consist of layers, which are electrically in parallel, the leakage inductance of the bottom layers is greater than that of the top layers because the bottom layer is linked by more leakage flux. Consequently, the alternating current in the lowreactance upper layers will be greater than that in the high-reactance lower layers. The current will be forced toward the top of the slot, in addition the current in the upper layers will lead the current in the lower ones. The non uniform current distribution results in an increase in the effective resistance and a smaller decrease in the effective leakage inductance of the bar. a) Magnetic field of a current-carrying wire in a deep slot b) Representative shapes of slots in squirrelcage rotor a) double cage b) deep-bar Since the distortion in current distribution depends on an inductive effect, the effective resistance is function of the frequency (i.e. of the slip) and also function of the depth of the bar and of the permeability and resistivity of the bar material. J h J h fr=f1 fr=0 Distribution of current density in the bars of double cage rotor 17 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems 2014 The effect can be explained as follows: the particular parts or layers of the wire are linked by ψ and the impedance different magnetic flux, therefore the inductivity l = i z = r 2 + (2πf r l) also differ depending on the distance from the top of the slot. To increase 2 the frequency-dependence of the rotor resistance double cage or deep slot are applied. In a double cage rotor the upper bars (close to the rotor surface) are made from material of less cross-section and more resistivity (e.g. brass) while lower bars are made from material of more cross-section and less resistivity (e.g. copper). At standstill or startup (S=1) the frequency of the rotor current is equal to that of the stator current (e.g. fr=50-60 Hz), due to the skin effect the rotor current flows mainly in the upper cage of more resistance (and less reactance), while around the rated (nominal) speed (e.g. Sn≈0.03-0.05, frn=1.5-3 Hz) the distribution of rotor current determined by the ratio of the resistances of the cages. By means of construction may be achieved that the effective resistance of rotor coil is more at startup and less at nominal speed. J fr=f1 fr=0 h Distribution of current density in the wire of a deep slot rotor The phenomena and its influence is similar in rotor with deep slot, but vary of the current density J is continuous in function of the distance from the top of the slot. Exploiting the frequency dependence of the effective rotor resistance some improvement may be achieved: the starting torque increasing, the speed fall at nominal performance decreasing. w w1 Rr(Sn) Rr(S=0) T Tbg M Ti1s2 Tl Ts1 Static speed-torque characteristic of induction machine 18 Fundamentals of magnetic field The starting torque Ts2 at the smaller resistance wouldn't be enough to start with load torque Tl. On the other hand, at the greater resistance the speed fall at load torque Tl would be greater in steady state. The two characteristics are simplifications, the transition between the characteristics is continuous during accelerating, the vary of leakage inductance is neglected. In the figure: w1 – synchronous speed, Tbg – breakdown torque (breaking mode), Tbm – breakdown torque (motor mode), Ts1, Ts1 – starting torque, Tl – load torque, Sn – nominal slip. Influence of eddy current to the distribution of the magnetic field Due to the change of the magnetic flux induced emf appears and eddy currents flow in the conductor. According to Lenz's law the eddy currents oppose the original change of the flux, the inducing process, producing such a field, which displaces the flux to the surface of the conductor. The depth of penetration of the magnetic field may be calculated as that of current density. Ieddy dψ dt Influence of eddy currents to the distribution of magnetic field In ferromagnetic parts conducting, controlling magnetic field the eddy currents are not desired because of the displacing the flux and increasing the losses. The eddy currents can be decreased using lamination of iron or using or ferrite core. Composed by: Kádár István March 2014. 19 VIVEM111 Alternating current systems 2014 Questions for self-test 1.
