Crowbar system Vacuum switches, widely used In a pulsed power system, could use the magnetic force to prevent the electrode damage. Vacuum switches using the magnetic forces are classified roughly into RMF(Radial Magnetic Field) and AMF(Axial Magnetic Field) type. The RMF type switches restrain a main electrode from aging due to high temperature and high density arc by rotating the arc which is driven by the Lorenz force. The AMF type switches generate axial magnetic field which decreases the electrode damage by diffusing arc. In this paper, we present the energy loss characteristics of both RMF and AMF type switches which are made of CuCr(75:25 wt%) electrodes. The time-dependent dynamic arc resistance of high-current pulsed discharge in a high vacuum chamber(~10$^{-6}$ Torr). which occurs in RMF and AMF type switches, was obtained by solving the circuit equation using the measured values of the arc voltage and current. In addition, we compared energy loss characteristics of both switches. Based on our results, it was found that the arc voltage and the energy loss of an AMF type switch are lower than a RMF type switch.

The purpose of this paper is analyses about in 12kV/50kA vacuum interrupter with an axial magnetic field type electrode system through the studies of electromagnetic phenomena. Vacuum interrupter is important in electric safety part. In this paper, we performed analysis of electric field, magnetic field, current density in AMF electrode using the Maxwell 3D simulation. The current distribution and magnetic field in simple models are analyzed to verify its efficiency and accuracy. In addition the validity of FEM is confirmed by performing the analyses of distribution in current density and magnetic flux density.

Axial magnetic field($B_z$) generated by special electrode construction in vacuum interrupters(Vl) is used to extinguish electric plasma arcs because that restrains this form expending. So VI applied axial magnetic field has more interruption capacity as compared with other VI. Also, the profile of toroidal field($B_{\theta}$) generated by $B_z$, is important to VI design. In this study, it was represented that the behavior of vacuum arc. In addition, The relationship between $B_z$ and $B_{\theta}$ was represented by using Dynamo theory. I hope that this study will be a good data in design of vacuum interrupters.

The measurement of magnetic field is performed AC magnetic field emission density in driver cab and saloon's compartment of rolling stock. In order to measure magnetic-field emission, a three-axial magnetic-field sensor is used and connected to data process system. The AC magnetic field is checked and analysis through BNC output, DAQ cad and notebook PC. The spectral analysis is performed by short time Fourier transform(STFT) for time-domain emission signal.

Axial magnetic field was applied into the hollow anode of plasma torch for the purpose of extension of electrode lifetime. The average arc voltage increased because the arc column became longer, the arc voltage ripple frequency became low. The steady state of arc voltage was removed by applied magnetic filed. The lifetime of electrode was 60 times longer than operation without magnetic field.

A series of numerical MHD simulations are performed to investigate the evolution of coronal magnetic fields consisting of two flux ropes and an overlying field. Depending on the directions of the axial current and the axial field, two co-helicity cases and two counter-helicity cases are addressed. In Case 1, in which both the axial currents and the axial fields are parallel, flux rope merging bears a huge flux rope with a large winding number. This flux rope naturally erupts, but the whole evolutionary process is rather slow. In Case 2, in which the axial currents are parallel while the axial fields are antiparallel, a self-closed structure is formed and it drives eruption. In Case 3, in which the axial currents are antiparallel and the axial fields are parallel, each flux rope erupts independently and the presence of the other flux rope does not affect the eruption of one flux rope. In Case 4, in which both the axial currents and the axial fields are antiparallel, interaction of the flux ropes and the overlying field effects a breakout reconnection creating an apple-like CME configuration. Our study tells what kind of eruption mechanisms are involved for different eruption features observed.

This paper aims to design of a double stator axial field 12/10 SRM. Conventional and single stator axial field SRMs were reviewed to apply for automotive cooling fan. The axial field SRM has the advantage of shorter flux path, higher torque per volume and lower iron loss. However, there is axial eccentricity in single stator axial field SRM due to one side excitation. Therefore, a double stator type is designed in this paper to reduce the axial eccentricity. And the trapezoidal pole shape of the stator increases the flow of magnetic flux from stator to rotor and the torque region. The torque and efficiency are compared and tested with experiments.

Axial magnetic field(AMF) type electrode can increase the interrupting capability of vacuum interrupters. But, this interrupting capability vary with design parameters such as shape of electrode, slits of contact, material of contact and so on. In this paper, shown arc characteristics of unipolar axial magnetic field type electrode for vacuum interrupter by design parameters such as shape of contact slits and diameter of contact. And, confirmed vacuum arc configuration by individual design parameter using high speed camera.

The effects on the characteristics of 20-W fluorescent lamp were studied when applying magnetic field to its positive column. First, when the direction of the magnetic field is axial, i.e., along the lamp, if the magnitude of the field is stronger than the critical field, lamp voltage is increased, lamp current decreased, luminous flux increased, starting voltage decreased, as increasing the applied magnetic field. At the magnetic flux density is 130 gauss, luminous flux is increased to about 6 percents and starting voltage is increased to about 45 percents. Second, when the direction of the magnetic field is transverse to the lamp axis, as increasing the applied magnetic field, lamp voltage is increased, lamp current decreased, luminous flux increased and starting voltage is nearly constant, but the rates of increase or decrease of this case is different from those of the first. At the magnetic flux density is 300 gauss, luminous flux is increased about 45 percents. In both cases, electric power dissipated by lamps is the same as that of the lamp which magnetic field is not applied to.

A numerical study was conducted on the optimum magnetic field intensity and asymmetric factor for uniform axial oxygen concentration in 8 inch silicon single crystal growing process by magnetic Czochralski method. For constant shape of cusp field, a change of coil and crucible position were compared. In case of symmetric cusp field, magnetic field intensity variation shows concave downward with crystal growing for uniform, axial oxygen concentration. A numerical results show similar value of standard deviation of average oxygen concentration for uniform oxygen concentration between coil and crucible position change. In case of asymmetric cusp field. asymmetric factor is increased with crystal growing to have uniform oxygen concentration.
