Chapter 1: Introduction to Machine Principles
1.1 Electromagnetic field
Magnetic Fields (MF) are mechanisms for energy conversion from one form to another i.e. in
transformers, motors, generators… etc. Four basic principles describe how magnetic fields are used
in these devices:
It is a must to establish a magnetic field before the conversion process
1-
A current-carrying straight wire produces a magnetic field in the area around it.
Right hand rule (R.H.R.)
direction of the
magnetic field Conductor perpendicular to the plane.
I get a series of concentric circle of magnetic lines around the conductor.
2-
A time-changing magnetic field induces a voltage in a coil of wire if it is located in the field (this
is the basis of transformer action )
ф
I It should be AC to have a MF
Magnetic core
Mean path length (lc)
3-
A current –carrying wire when subjected to a magnetic field will experience a force acting on it
(This is the basis of motor action)
When there is a current interaction Magnetic bar is current
interaction
4-
A moving wire when subjected to a magnetic field has a voltage induced across its terminals
(this is a basis of generator action)

1.2 Production of magnetic field:
The basic law governing of Magnetic Field is by Ampere’s law
=Inet
Inet : current (A)
H: magnetic field intensity (Amp.turns/m)
For better understanding of the formula we have a rectangular core with a winding of N turns
around one leg. Consider all the field remains in the core:
Ф
I
Only mean core
Length (lc)
When an alternating current passes by this coil we have a flux produced in Weber.
NI=Hlc
Nl: Ampere Turns produced
H: Magnetic Field intensity
lc : mean core length(path)
Ф: is the flux produced
How much magnetism I have in the wire
B flux density (Wb/m2 or Tesla) =
A: the net cross sectional area (m2)
2
Draft
B=µH
B (Tesla or wb/m2): Flux density
µ: Permeability: the ability of the core medium to be magnetized
H: Magnetic field intensity
µ = µrµ0
µ0= 4π×10-7 H/m (in free air)
for air µr=1.0
µr can reach up to 6000 for certain materials.
B=
Ф= BA=
1.3 Magnetic circuits:
paths for magnetic flux.
1.
Flux lines never intersect
2.
Flux lines follow paths of permeability (least reluctance to magnetism)
3.
Once a loop is established ф is constant in it

R (reluctance)
V=iR mmf=Ni
mmf = NI
magnetomotive force ф = F/R
permeance = 1/R

Draft
Ф = F×P
Ф = µNIA/lc
Ф = F(µA/lc)
R (reluctance AT/wb) = lc/µA for a single medium to be magnetized AT/wb
1.4 Composite magnetic circuits
Ф constant (if A changes and B changes)
RAg = g/Agµ0 ф
Ag: Area of the gap
Nig Fringing effect at air gap i.e. Ag increases
Rcore= lc/µAcore
Rair gap= g/µ0Ag
The cross sectional area is increased which leads to a decrease in flux density. When we neglect fringing
effect the flux density remains constant.
NB.As the flux is constant in a loop, when the cross sectional area changes the flux density changes.
Series elements in magnetic circuits
When elements are connected in series, then the total reluctance is the sum of individual reluctances of
the elements.

Draft
The total reluctance of elements that are in series is equal to the sum of individual reluctances.
NB. B varies when the element area varies.
Parallel elements in magnetic circuits:

Example:
An iron ring of square of 2×2 cm cross sectional area having an external diameter of 14 cm and an
internal diameter of 10 cm. A radial saw cut through the ring forms an air gap of 1 mm. If the ring has a
coil uniformly wound round it. With 500 turns calculate the current in the wire of the coil required 1mm

1.5 Faraday’s law
If a flux passes through a wire, therefore a voltage (emf) will be induced. This voltage is proportional to
the rate of change of the flux.
N S
The emf induced in a loop of wires with N-turns; therefore the emf induced is:
Lenz’s law gives us the sign needed of the voltage induced which represents the direction of the emf
induced.
This sign is obtained as follows:
If the coil is short-circuited at its terminals a current will flow.
This current will produce a flux opposing the original flux of the coil.
Self-inductance
The self-inductance of a coil affects its ability to stop changes in the corresponding magnetic field.
Flux linkage: The flux that is cutting the coil. (Maximum flux linkage of a coil with N turns coils)

The energy stored in the magnetic circuit.
Work done equals to energy stored
by replacing
Example:
A 2 pole shunt motor has a flux per pole 0.01 Wb when the exciting-current is 2 A the number of turns in
each pole equals 2000. Calculate the energy stored in the magnetic field.
Find L and then ф then the flux linkage.

Number of turns =2×2000= 4000 we have 2 poles
The energy stored is magnetizing the field so the motor functions.
1.6 Characteristics of ferromagnetic material
Important in the transformation of energy.
Magnetic circuit is a necessity but it has losses for the same B=µH
If µ increases H will decrease
Those with high permeability materials are more expansive than the ones with low permeability.
With higher µr we obtain small H, hence less magnetizing current i.e. lower losses.
µr can go up to 6000 when changing from one material to another.
Magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials:
In electromechanical energy conversion devices, these materials have 2 important roles to be
played:
1-
From B=µH, we have to obtain large B from smaller levels of H; as µ increases H will decrease .
Large B leads to an increase in the magnetic forces and energy density. This plays a major role in
the performance of energy conversion devices. When we decrease H=NI/l, as H decreases I will
decrease.

Draft
2-
Magnetic materials can be used to constrain and direct magnetic fields in a well defined path i.e.
in a transformer, it maximize the coupling λ between windings and lower I excitation for
transformer operation. In rotating machines they shape the field to obtain the desired torque
characteristics. Ferronmagnetics are iron, iron alloys with silicon, cobalt, mg, nickel etc…
µ0 is constant; µr varies up to 6000 µ0
saturation
knee
linear
The field is more contained in the magnetic material we have less leakage and better λ and hance
smaller excitation I is needed or lower N (number of turns)
In the machines the torque is affected greatly by the magnetic field therefore we have:
How to decrease a B H curve? B

H (AT/m)
Draft
From (1) (2) we start to decrease the current, B doesn’t follow the same path because the
core is magnetized. (Residual flux or magnetism) Then at (2) we reverse the direction of the
current and start increasing it until saturation. It will produce a magnetic field in the opposite
way to (3)
At (3) we start decreasing that current until it reaches 0 value at (4)
At (4) we reverse the current and start increasing it until saturation reaching (1)
The hysteresis loop is the representation of the loss which has to be taken care of. This loss is
due to the formation of flux.
The smaller the hysteresis loop for the material the smaller are the losses hence the better
material.
Flux density varies between 1.5 2.5
For cast-steel flux density= 0.025
The hysterisis losses are proportional to the frequency and not linearly proportional, the ability
of the material to be magnetized.
Pe (eddy current losses) due to emf induced in the core itself which will cause circulating current
in it which results in any current losses
To minimize these losses: of the core increase R by lamination in thin sheets insulation these
sheets from each other then I tight them. Any current losses formula:
V: induced emf
R: Electric resistance of the core
Kl: Constant of material
f: frequency
Bmax: Flux density
A group of e- that has certain magnetic direction form the domain
11
Draft
1.7 Magnetic domains
This happens due to an mmf they are being lined up.
The alignment ends at the saturation, any addition is a waste.
We need the domain to be aligned. Any extra mmf will be a loss.
The hysteresis losses are used to produce theses domains> I want them aligned to produce the
magnetic field.
Ampere-turn is used to align them.
1.8 Motor and generator action due to magnetic field
Motor action:
Assume we have a magnetic field and in the surrounding then it will induce a current-carrying
conductor which will produce a force.
If a current I is flowing B
F (force)

L: length of conductor
B: Flux density conductor
N.B. in series magnetic circuit ф is constant; B is not necessarily constant if we have composite circuits
with different cores if we consider fringing A changes.

Moving in a magnetic field
No movement no emf induced L
B: flux density ___
V: velocity of the wire
L: length of the conductor in the magnetic field
The product VB is not constant but we take it as maximum.
Ф is the angle between V and B
Consider ф to be 90°, and their position with respect to the position of the conductor.
Generator action: Its relative mvt between the conductor in a flux density of B(T) with a velocity v.

For the same power when we reduce Q and thus reducing the angle Φ so to the power factor is
improved.
The winding is installed in the magnetic field. When the flux is not cutting the winding, no emf is induced
When the flux is perpendicular to the winding, we have maximum flux cutting it and emf is induced

3.2 Principle of operation of Transformer
The voltage at the primary VP produces a current in the windings of the primary IP which
induces a flux ϕ in the core. The direction of ϕ is obtained by the right hand rule. The
flux cuts the primary and the secondary windings producing an induced voltage
EP and ES. If a load is connected across ES a current will flow producing a flux
opposing the main flux and reduces it, which reduces EP and ES. As EP is reduced,
IP is increased as
which brings back instantly the main flux to its original value. i.e. remains
practically constant and hence EP and ES remain at the same value practically.

Draft
When the voltage ratio is 2:1 the Sout is at 50% but a transformer with ratio of 2:3 due to
core cost mainly is large but losses are less in auto transformer.

3-Phase Transformers
The 3-phase transformers are lighter, smaller, cheaper, and slightly more efficient. They are
concentric with less flux leakage. The high voltage should be insulated by the core. It also
has better leveling between the high voltage and low voltage. The side is connected to the
tank by bushings.
