Calculation Of Eddy Current Loss Of A Disc, Kou Quen Chang Jan 1971

Calculation Of Eddy Current Loss Of A Disc, Kou Quen Chang

Masters Theses

"A method is presented to calculate the eddy current losses of a uniform disc with an opening in the center and excited by a circular current loopage First, the disc is subdivided into smaller concentric rings, then the self-inductances, the mutual inductances between these smaller rings, the mutual inductances between the excitation coil and the smaller rings, and the resistance of the rings are calculated. Next, the eddy current flowing in each ring is obtained by solving a complex matrix equation of the form [X] [I] = [V] where X is the impedance matrix, I is the eddy current matrix, …
