Force and Torque Production in Electromagnetic Circuits

  • Chapter
Power Conversion of Renewable Energy Systems

Abstract

In Chap. 6 inductors have been analyzed. In these devices there are no moving parts. In this chapter the force (\( {\vec{\hbox{F}}} \)) and torque (\( {\vec{\hbox{T}}} \)) production in electromagnetic circuits such as magnets, actuators, relays, linear and rotating machines will be discussed. These devices have a stationary part (stator) and a moving part (rotor). Figures 9.1a, b illustrate linear asynchronous actuator fields, Fig. 9.1c a linear synchronous actuator field [1, 2], and Fig. 9.1d shows a rotary permanent-magnet actuator [3].
