  • To design the Molded Case Circuit Breaker(MCCB) requires electromagnetic analysis in contact system when the circuit breakers interrupt fault currents. This paper has made sure that there are two ways increasing arc driving force, one is a change of contact point and the other way inserts additionally the magnetic plate. Finally, we have carried out the analysis of eddy current to identify a decrease of arc driving force because of fault currents. In this paper, MCCB models have been analyzed base on 3D-FEM by Maxwell program.

  • The design of the vacuum vessel of KT-2(a large-aspect-ratio, mid-size tokamak) is presented. The KT-2 vacuum vessel provides necessary environments to contain a plasma of double-null configuration with elongation of up to 1.8. The vacuum vessel is designed as an all-metal welded structure. Eddy currents are induced on the vessel during all stages of the plasma operation. Influences of the continuous vessel on the plasma were investigated. No significant effect of the vessel on the plasma in every aspect of null formation, plasma initiation, plasma control was found. Stresses and deformations in the vessel by atmospheric pressure and electromagnetic forces due to the eddy currents were calculated using 3D FEM code.

  • This study investigated compound open channel flow using OpenFOAM Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Large eddy simulations were carried out by solving the filtered continuity and momentum equations numerically. One equation LES and non-uniform grid were applied to capture the anisotropic turbulence and secondary flow near the wall. The results of large eddy simulations of turbulent flow in a compound open channel with deep and shallow flood plain depths are presented. These LESs are validated with experimental data, resulting in a good agreement between measured and calculated data. The role of anisotropic turbulence in generating secondary currents is illustrated.

  • We made a simplified eddy-current-tester, and observed some materials for the ingredients and mass and locations. The tester detects the current as frequency shifts of a LC-resonance circuit, which are caused by the eddy currents. Using air-wick coil and a multi-piled ceramic capacitor, we made a resonance system whose frequency was 100KHz. The shift quantity is few; so, to detect it, we used a frequency counter, and counted the shift. We can detect 10Hz order's shift.

  • Brake forces due to eddy-currents induced by the relative motion of a conductor and a magnetic devices: motors, brakes and magnetically levitated vehicles. In particular, the practicality of using permanent magnet in eddy-current brakes system is obviously recent, due to the manifold improvement in magnet materials and technology. For such a system we give analytical formulas considering eddy-current distribution as variables: flux density for each region and forces.

  • This paper is concerned with a new concept for the damper without neither a coil spring nor fluid. The new damper concept consists of the permanent magnets and the cylinder of the conducting material. The opposite pole magnets produces the repulsive forces and this is substituted for the coil spring. The relative motion between the magnets and conducting cylinder produces eddy currents thus resulting in the electromagnetic force, which turns out to be the damping force thus and is substituted for a damping fluid. This damper is called the eddy current damper(ECD). The important advantage of the proposed ECD is that it does not require the damping fluid and any external power and is non-contacting and relatively insensitive to temperature. In the present study, the proposed ECD was constructed and experiments were performed to investigate its dynamic characteristics. The experiments shows that the proposed ECD has the excellent damping ability.

  • A SQUID magnetometer or a SQUID gradiometer can be used to measure the field or gradient distribution, respectively. We describe the magnetic dipole model of the eddy currents in a nondestructive evaluation. Such a theoretical calculation of the magnetic dipole fields produced by a deep flaw in metallic materials can be used in aerospace and transportation industries.

  • In this paper, with the end effect taken into consideration, the fundamental characteristics of a linear induction motor-the eddy currents of the secondary conducting sheet (traveller), the flux density in the air gap-are analysed by means of electromagnetic field theory. Accordingly, the derived governing eqations of the chatacteristics with goodness factor, presents that it was possible not only to predict the performance characteristics, but to obtain the data that needs to optimize a design of a motor with the reduction of the end effect.

  • The torsional resonance of the generator shaft system has the possibility of inducing voltages across the stator winding because it is a carrier with the field excitation. And these torsional induced stator currents inducs the eddy current in the rotor. This paper describes the eddy current based on the double Fourier series method. The forces generating during the torsional interaction are computed using the Maxwell's magnetic stress tensor for each of the Fouriercomponennts. And then, these forces of the Fourier components are evaluated by the Parseval's theorem.
