Magnetic
Description
This component models a segment of a magnetic core. It establishes a linear
relationship between the magnetic flux
and the magneto-motive force

where
is the magnetic constant,
is the relative
permeability of the material,
is the cross-sectional area and
the length of the
flux path.
Parameters
-
Cross-sectional area
- Cross-sectional area
of the flux path, in
.
-
Length of flux path
- Length
of the flux path, in m.
-
Rel. permeability
- Relative permeability
of the core material.
-
Initial MMF
- Magneto-motive force at simulation start, in ampere-turns (A).
Probe Signals
-
MMF
- The magneto-motive force measured from the marked to the unmarked
terminal, in ampere-turns (A).
-
Flux
- The magnetic flux flowing through the component, in webers (Wb). A flux
entering at the marked terminal is counted as positive.
-
Field strength
- The magnetic field strength
in the core element, in A/m.
-
Flux density
- The magnetic flux density
in the core element, in teslas (T).
