4300 West Brown Deer Road, Milwaukee, WI 53223 USA Ahtruct-Finite element analysis of saturable magnetic components is extended to include the effects of switches, which may be either mechanical or electronic. The switches are modeled Using coupled electromagnetic and structural finite elements which are stretched tovarytheir electrical resistancewith time. Good results are shown for a simple resistive circuit with a switched excitation and fora highlysaturatedtransformerwithasecondaryloadresistor that is switched on and oftThe paper begins by describing how coupled electromagnetic and structural bite elements can mode] a of any desked resistance a function of time. After modeling a resistive the new methodwill be applied to a highly saturated with a switched secondary COUPLED ELECTROMAGNETIC AND STRUCTURALFEA INTRODUCTION Inductors, transformers, motors, and other magnetic components are often designed with the aid of electromagnetic finite element analysis. Such analysis can determine the saturable magnetic fields, eddy currents, and related performance parameters before a prototype magnetic component is built.When magnetic components are used in power electronic circuits such as adjustable speed drives, switches are often present. Whether mechanical or electronic, the switches affect the electromagnetic fields and system performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
