ENEE430
Introduction
 Electric Machines  mechanical energy to electric energy or vice
versa
 Mechanical energy  Electric energy : GENERATOR
 Electric energy  mechanical energy : MOTOR
 Almost all practical motors and generators convert energy from one
form to another through the action of a magnetic field.
 Only machines using magnetic fields to perform such conversions
will be considered in this course.
 When we talk about machines, another related device is the
transformer. A transformer is a device that converts ac electric
energy at one voltage level to ac electric energy at another voltage
level.
 Transformers are usually studied together with generators and
motors because they operate on the same principle, the difference
is just in the action of a magnetic field to accomplish the change
in voltage level.

ENEE430
 Why are electric motors and generators so
common?
 electric power is a clean and efficient energy source
that is very easy to transmit over long distances and
easy to control.
 Does not require constant ventilation and fuel
(compare to internal-combustion engine), free from
pollutant associated with combustion

ENEE430
Basic concepts of Electrical Machines
 Rotational Motion, Newton’s Law and Power Relationship
 Almost all electric machines rotate about an axis, called the shaft of the
machines. It is important to have a basic understanding of rotational
motion.
 Angular Position,  - is the angle at which it is oriented, measured from
some arbitrary reference point. Its measurement units are in radians (rad)
or in degrees. It is similar to the linear concept of distance along a line.
 Conventional notation: +ve value for anticlockwise
-ve value for clockwise rotation
 Angular Velocity,  - Defined as the velocity at which the measured point
is moving. Similar to the concept of standard velocity where:
m/sec
dr
where:
v 
dt
r – distance traverse by the body
t – time taken to travel the distance r

ENEE430
 For a rotating body, angular velocity is formulated as:
d (rad/s)

where: dt
 - Angular position/ angular distance traversed by the
rotating body
t – time taken for the rotating body to traverse the specified
distance,.
Angular acceleration,  - is defined as the rate of change in
angular velocity with respect to time. Its formulation is as
shown:
d
 (rad/s2)
dt
ENEE430
Torque, 
 In linear motion, a force applied to an object causes its
velocity to change. In the absence of a net force on the
object, its velocity is constant. The greater the force
applied to the object, the more rapidly its velocity
changes.
 Similarly in the concept of rotation, when an object is
rotating, its angular velocity is constant unless a torque is
present on it. Greater the torque, more rapid the angular
velocity changes.
 Torque is known as a rotational force applied to a rotating
body giving angular acceleration, a.k.a. ‘twisting force’.
 Definition of Torque: (Nm)
‘Product of force applied to the object and the smallest
distance between the line of action of the force and the
object’s axis of rotation’

ENEE430
Work, W
 Is defined as the application of Force through a
distance. Therefore, work may be defined as:
W   Fdr
 Assuming that the direction of F is collinear (in the
same direction) with the direction of motion and
constant in magnitude, hence,
W  Fr
 Applying the same concept for rotating bodies,
W    d
 Assuming that  is constant, (Joules)
W  

 This equation can describe the mechanical power

ENEE430
Newton’s Law of Rotation
 Newton’s law for objects moving in a straight line gives a relationship
between the force applied to the object and the acceleration experience
by the object as the result of force applied to it. In general,
 ( N or kg.m/sec^2)
where:
F  ma
F – Force applied
m – mass of object
a – resultant acceleration of object
 Applying these concept for rotating bodies,
(Nm)
where:   J
 - Torque
J – moment of inertia
 - angular acceleration

ENEE430
The Magnetic Field
 Magnetic fields are the fundamental mechanism by
which energy is converted from one form to another
in motors, generators and transformers.
 First, we are going to look at the basic principles:
1) A current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field in

the area around it.
2) A time-changing magnetic field induces a voltage in
a coil of wire if it passes through that coil (basis of
transformer action)
3) A current-carrying wire in the presence of magnetic
field has a force induced on it (basis for motor action)
4) A moving wire in the presence of a magnetic field
has a voltage induced in it (basis for generator action)

ENEE430
Production of a Magnetic Field
 Ampere’s Law – the basic law governing the
production of a magnetic field by a current:
 H dl  I net
Where,
H is the magnetic field intensity produced by the
current Inet
dl is a differential element of length along the path
of integration.
H is measured in Ampere-turns per meter.

ENEE430
Production of a Magnetic Field
 Consider a current carrying conductor is wrapped around a
ferromagnetic core


CSA
N turns
mean path length, lc
 Applying Ampere’s law, the total amount of magnetic field

induced will be proportional to the amount of current flowing
through the conductor wound with N turns around the
ferromagnetic material as shown. Since the core is made of
ferromagnetic material, it is assumed that a majority of the
magnetic field will be confined to the core.

ENEE430
 The path of integration in Ampere’s law is the
mean path length of the core, lc. The current
passing within the path of integration Inet is then
Ni,
 Since the coil of wires cuts the path of
integration N times while carrying the current i.
Hence Ampere’s Law becomes,
Hlc  Ni
Ni
H 

ENEE430
Flux Density “B” and Field Intensity “H”
 In this sense, H (Ampere turns per meter) is known as the effort
required to induce a magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic
field flux produced in the core also depends on the material of the
core. Thus,
B  H
B = magnetic flux density (webers per square meter, Tesla (T))
µ= magnetic permeability of material (Henrys per meter)
H = magnetic field intensity (ampere-turns per meter)
 The constant  may be further expanded to include relative
permeability which can be defined as below:

r 
where: -7

o – permeability of free space 4 x 10 H/mo(a.k.a. air)
 Note:
 permeability of air = permeability of free space.
 steels used in modern machines have r of 2000 to 6000.
ENEE430
Notes about Permeability
 Hence the permeability value is a combination of the
relative permeability and the permeability of free space.
The value of relative permeability is dependent upon the
type of material used.
 The higher the amount permeability, the higher the
amount of flux induced in the core.
 Relative permeability is a convenient way to compare the
magnetizability of materials.
 Also, because the permeability of iron is so much higher
than that of air, the majority of the flux in an iron core
remains inside the core instead of travelling through the
surrounding air, which has lower permeability.
 The small leakage flux that does leave the iron core is
important in determining the flux linkages between coils
and the self-inductances of coils in transformers and
motors.

 In a core such as in the figure, mean path length, lc
B  H  ilc
 Now, to measure the total flux () flowing in the
ferromagnetic core, consideration has to be made in
terms of its cross sectional area (CSA). Therefore,
   BdA
A
 Where: A – cross sectional area throughout the core

ENEE430
 Assuming that the flux density in the
ferromagnetic core is constant throughout hence
constant A, the equation simplifies to be:

ENEE430
Magnetics Circuits
 The flow of magnetic flux induced in the
ferromagnetic core can be made analogous to an
electrical circuit hence the name magnetic circuit.
 The analogy is as follows:

Electric Circuit Analogy Magnetic Circuit Analogy

ENEE430
Magnetomotive force (mmf)- F
 Referring to the magnetic circuit analogy, F is
denoted as magnetomotive force (mmf) which
is similar to Electromotive force in an electrical
circuit (emf). Therefore, we can safely say that F
is the prime mover or force which pushes
magnetic flux around a ferromagnetic core at a
value of Ni (refer to ampere’s law).
 Hence F is measured in ampere turns.
 Hence the magnetic circuit equivalent equation
is as shown:
F  R (similar to V=IR)

ENEE430
 The polarity of the mmf will determine the
direction of flux. To easily determine the
direction of flux, the ‘right hand curl’ rule is
utilised:
1) The direction of the curled fingers determines

the current flow.
2) The resulting thumb direction will show the
magnetic flux flow.

ENEE430
Reluctance “R”
 The element of R in the magnetic circuit analogy
is similar in concept to the electrical resistance.
It is basically the measure of material resistance
to the flow of magnetic flux. Reluctance in this
analogy obeys the rule of electrical resistance
(Series and Parallel Rules). Reluctance is
measured in Ampere-turns per weber.
 Series Reluctance,
Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + ….
 Parallel Reluctance,

ENEE430
Permeance “P”
 The inverse of electrical resistance is
conductance which is a measure of conductivity
of a material. Hence the inverse of reluctance is
known as permeance, P where it represents the
degree at which the material permits the flow of
magnetic flux. 1

ENEE430
Inaccuracy in the magnetic circuit approach
 By using the magnetic circuit approach, it simplifies
calculations related to the magnetic field in a
ferromagnetic material, however, this approach has
inaccuracy embedded into it due to assumptions made in
creating this approach (within 5% of the real answer).
Possible reason of inaccuracy is due to:
1) The magnetic circuit assumes that all flux are confined within the
core, but in reality a small fraction of the flux escapes from the core
into the surrounding low-permeability air, and this flux is called
leakage flux.
2) The reluctance calculation assumes a certain mean path length and

cross sectional area (csa) of the core. This is alright if the core is just
one block of ferromagnetic material with no corners, for practical
ferromagnetic cores which have corners due to its design, this
assumption is not accurate.

ENEE430
3) In ferromagnetic materials, the permeability
varies with the amount of flux already in the
material. The material permeability is not
constant hence there is an existence of non-
linearity of permeability.
4) For ferromagnetic core which has air gaps,
there are fringing effects that should be taken
into account as shown:
N
S
ENEE430
 Example 1-1
A ferromagnetic core is shown. Three
sides of this core are of uniform
width, while the fourth side is
somewhat thinner. The depth of
the core (into the page) is 10cm,
and the other dimensions are
shown in the figure. There is a
200 turn coil wrapped around the
left side of the core. Assuming
relative permeability r of 2500,
how much flux will be produced
by a 1A input current?

ENEE430
 Solution:
 3 sides of the core have the
same csa, while the 4th side
has a different area. Thus
the core can be divided into
2 regions:
 (1) the single thinner side
 (2) the other 3 sides taken
together
 The magnetic circuit
corresponding to this core:

ENEE430
ENEE430
Ex 1-2
 Figure shows a ferromagnetic core whose
mean path length is 40cm. There is a
small gap of 0.05cm in the structure of the
otherwise whole core. The csa of the core
is 12cm2, the relative permeability of the
core is 4000, and the coil of wire on the
core has 400 turns. Assume that fringing
in the air gap increases the effective csa of
the gap by 5%. Given this information, find
 the total reluctance of the flux path (iron
plus air gap)
 the current required to produce a flux
density of 0.5T in the air gap.
 Solution:
The magnetic circuit corresponding to this core is
shown below:

ENEE430
Example 1-3
 Figure shows a simplified rotor and stator for
a dc motor. The mean path length of the
stator is 50cm, and its csa is 12cm2. The
mean path length of the rotor is 5 cm, and its
csa also may be assumed to be 12cm2.
Each air gap between the rotor and the stator
is 0.05cm wide, and the csa of each air gap
(including fringing) is 14cm2. The iron of the
core has a relative permeability of 2000, and
there are 200 turns of wire on the core. If the
current in the wire is adjusted to be 1A, what
will the resulting flux density in the air
gaps be?
 Solution:
To determine the flux density in the air gap, it
is necessary to first calculate the mmf
applied to the core and the total reluctance of
the flux path. With this information, the total
flux in the core can be found. Finally,
knowing the csa of the air gaps enables the
flux density to be calculated.
The magnetic circuit corresponding to this
machine is shown below.

ENEE430
Magnetic Behaviour of Ferromagnetic Materials
 Non-magnetic materials show a linear relationship
between the flux density B and coil current I. In other
words, they have constant permeability. Thus, for
example, in free space, the permeability is constant.
 For magnetic materials, a much larger value of B is
produced in these materials than in free space. Therefore,
the permeability of magnetic materials is much higher than
µo. However, the permeability is not linear anymore but
does depend on the current over a wide range.
 Thus, the permeability is the property of a medium that
determines its magnetic characteristics. In other
words, the concept of magnetic permeability
corresponds to the ability of the material to permit the
flow of magnetic flux through it.
 In electrical machines and electromechanical devices a
somewhat linear relationship between B and I is desired,
which is normally approached by limiting the current.
ENEE430
Magnetization Curve
 Look at the magnetization curve and B-H curve. Note: The curve
corresponds to an increase of DC current flow through a coil
wrapped around the ferromagnetic core
 When the flux produced in the core is plotted versus the mmf
producing it, the resulting plot looks like this (a). This plot is called a
saturation curve or a magnetization curve. A small increase in
the mmf produces a huge increase in the resulting flux. After a
certain point, further increases in the mmf produce relatively smaller
increases in the flux. Finally, there will be no change at all as you
increase mmf further. The region in which the curve flattens out is
called saturation region, and the core is said to be saturated. The
region where the flux changes rapidly is called the unsaturated
region. The transition region is called the ‘knee’ of the curve.

ENEE430
 From equation H = Ni/lc = F/lc and  =BA, it
can be seen that magnetizing intensity is directly
proportional to mmf and magnetic flux density is
directly proportional to flux for any given core.
B=µH  slope of curve is the permeability of the
core at that magnetizing intensity.
 The curve (b) shows that the permeability is
large and relatively constant in the unsaturated
region and then gradually drops to a low value
as the core become heavily saturated.

ENEE430
 Advantage of using a ferromagnetic material for
cores in electric machines and transformers is that
one gets more flux for a given mmf than with air
(free space).
 If the resulting flux has to be proportional to the
mmf, then the core must be operated in the
unsaturated region.
 Generators and motors depend on magnetic flux to
produce voltage and torque, so they need as much
flux as possible. So, they operate near the knee of
the magnetization curve (flux not linearly related to
the mmf). This non-linearity as a result gives
peculiar behaviours to machines.
 As magnetizing intensity H increased, the relative
permeability first increases and then starts to drop
off.

ENEE430
Example 1-5
 A square magnetic core has a mean path length of 55cm and a csa
of 150cm2. A 200 turn coil of wire is wrapped around one leg of the
core. The core is made of a material having the magnetization curve
shown below. Find:
 How much current is required to produce 0.012 Wb of flux in the
core?
 What is the core’s relative permeability at that current level?
 What is its reluctance?

How Magnetic Field can affect its surroundings
 FARADAY’S LAW – Induced Voltage from a
Time-Changing Magnetic Field
 Production of Induced Force on a Wire.
 Induced Voltage on a Conductor Moving in a
Magnetic Field

ENEE430
FARADAY’S LAW – Induced Voltage from a
Time-Changing Magnetic Field
 Before, we looked at the production of a magnetic field and on its
properties. Now, we will look at the various ways in which an
existing magnetic field can affect its surroundings.
 Faraday’s Law:
‘If a flux passes through a turn of a coil of wire, voltage will be
induced in the turn of the wire that is directly proportional to the
rate of change in the flux with respect of time’
d
eind 
dt
 If there is N number of turns in the coil with the same amount of
flux flowing through it, hence:
d
eind  N
dt
 where: N – number of turns of wire in coil.

ENEE430
Lenz’ Law
 Note the negative sign at the equation above which is in
accordance to Lenz’ Law which states:
‘The direction of the build-up voltage in the coil is as such
that if the coils were short circuited, it would produce
current that would cause a flux opposing the original flux
change.’
 Examine the figure below:

ENEE430
 If the flux shown is increasing in strength, then
the voltage built up in the coil will tend to
establish a flux that will oppose the increase.
 A current flowing as shown in the figure would
produce a flux opposing the increase.
 So, the voltage on the coil must be built up with
the polarity required to drive the current through
the external circuit. So, -eind

ENEE430
 NOTE: In Chapman, the minus sign is often left
out because the polarity of the resulting voltage
can be determined from physical considerations.
 Equation eind = -d/dt assumes that exactly the
same flux is present in each turn of the coil. This
is not true, since there is leakage flux. This
equation will give valid answer if the windings are
tightly coupled, so that the vast majority of the flux
passing thru one turn of the coil does indeed pass
through all of them.

ENEE430
 Now consider the
induced voltage in the ith di
turn of the coil,

Since there is N number

Flux linkage - 
 The equation above may be rewritten into,
d

where  (flux linkage) is defined as:
N
   i (weber-turns)
i 1
 Faraday’s law is the fundamental property of
magnetic fields involved in transformer operation.
 Lenz’s Law in transformers is used to predict the
polarity of the voltages induced in transformer
windings.

ENEE430
Vector Cross Product
 The cross product of a and b, written a x b, is defined by:
a x b = n a b sin 
where a and b are the magnitude of vectors a and b;  is the angle
between the vectors, and n is the unit vector (vector with magnitude =
1) that is perpendicular (at 90 degrees to/ orthogonal to/ normal to)
both a and b. But there are two vectors that this could be - one on
either side of the plane formed by the two vectors), so we choose n to
be the one which makes (a, b, n) a right handed triad.

ENEE430
Production of Induced Force on a Wire
(motor action principle)
 A current carrying wire present in a uniform
magnetic field of flux density B, would produce a
force on the conductor/wire. Dependent upon the
direction of the surrounding magnetic field, the force
induced is given by:
F  i  l  B
where:
i – represents the current flow in the conductor
l – length of wire, with direction of l defined to be in the
direction of current flow
B – magnetic field density vector

ENEE430
Right Hand Rule and Force Direction
 The direction of the force is given by the right-hand rule. Direction of the
force depends on the direction of current flow and the direction of the
surrounding magnetic field. A rule of thumb to determine the direction can be
found using the right-hand rule as shown below: Thump
 Thumb
(resultant force) F
 Index
Index Finger
(current direction)
Middle I

(Magnetic Flux Direction) Right Hand Rule
 The induced force formula shown earlier is true if the current carrying
conductor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. If the current
carrying conductor is positioned at an angle to the magnetic field, the
formula is modified to be as follows:
F  ilB sin 
 Where:  - angle between the conductor and the direction of the magnetic
field.

ENEE430
 In summary, this phenomenon is
the basis of an electric motor
where torque or rotational force of
the motor is the effect of the stator
field current and the magnetic field
of the rotor.
 Example 1-6
 The figure shows a wire carrying a
current in the presence of a magnetic
field. The magnetic flux density is 0.25T,
directed into the page. If the wire is 1m
long and carries 0.5A of current in the
direction from the top of the page to the
bottom, what are the magnitude and
direction of the force induced on the
wire?

ENEE430
 Solution
 Direction of F is given by the right hand rule  to the right
 . F  ilB sin 
= (0.5A)(1.0)m(0.25T) sin 90o
=0.125 N
 Therefore F=0.125 N directed to the right

ENEE430
Induced Voltage on a Conductor Moving in a
Magnetic Field
 If a conductor moves or ‘cuts’ through a magnetic field, voltage will be
induced between the terminals of the conductor.
 The magnitude of the induced voltage is dependent upon the velocity
of the wire assuming that the magnetic field is constant. This can be
summarised in terms of formulation as shown:
eind = (v x B) l
where:
v – velocity of the wire
B – magnetic field density
l – length of the wire in the magnetic field
 Note: The value of l (length) is dependent upon the angle at which the
wire cuts through the magnetic field. Hence a more complete formula
will be as follows:
eind = (v x B)l cosθ
where:
 - smallest angle between the conductor and the direction of (v x B)

ENEE430
Positive voltage
 The induction of voltages in a wire polarity is in the
moving in a magnetic field is direction of vxB
fundamental to the operation of all
types of generators
 Example 1.8
The figure shows a conductor moving
with a velocity of 5m/s to the right in
the presence of a magnetic field.
The flux density is 0.5T into the
page, and the wire is 1m length,
oriented as shown. What are the
magnitude and polarity of the
resulting induced voltage?

ENEE430
 Solution: direction of vxB is up
and voltage polarity is as shown
since positive voltage polarity is
in the direction of vxB
 eind = (v x B) l= (vBsin 90o) l cos 0o

= 5( m/s)(0.5T) (1.0m)=2.5V
 Induced voltage is 2.5V, positive at

top of wire

ENEE430
 Example 1.9
 Figure shows a conductor
moving with a velocity of
10m/s to the right in a
magnetic field. The flux
density is 0.5T, out of the
page, and the wire is 1m in
length. What are the
magnitude and polarity of
the resulting induced
voltage?

ENEE430
 Solution: vxB direction is down
 Direction of l is chosen to make
smallest angle with vxB direction as
shown  voltage is positive at the
bottom
 eind = (v x B)l= (vB sin90) l cos30

 At this moment, the induced voltage is 0 due to no
movement of the wire (the bar is at rest).
ENEE430
 As the current flows down through the bar, a force will be

(eind), the current flowing in the bar will reduce (according
to Kirchhoff’s voltage law). The result of this action is that
eventually the bar will reach a constant steady-state
speed where the net force on the bar is zero. This occurs
when eind has risen all the way up to equal VB. This is
given by: VB  eind  vsteady state Bl
VB
 vsteady state 
Bl
 The above equation is true assuming that R is very small.

The bar will continue to move along at this no-load
speed forever unless some external force disturbs it.
Summarization of the starting of linear DC machine is
sketched in the figure below:
ENEE430
ENEE430
The Linear DC Machine as a Motor
 Assume the linear machine is initially
running at the no-load steady state
condition (as before).
 What happen when an external load
is applied? See figure below:
 A force Fload is applied to the bar
opposing the direction of motion.
Since the bar was initially at steady
state, application of the force Fload will
result in a net force on the bar in the Fnet  Fload  Find
direction opposite the direction of
motion.
 Thus, the bar will slow down (the

resulting acceleration a = Fnet/m is
negative). As soon as that happen,
the induced voltage on the bar drops
(eind = v↓ Bl).

ENEE430
 When the induced voltage drops, the current flow
in the bar will rise
VB  eind 
i 
R
 Thus, the induced force will rise too.
(Find↑ = i↑ lB)
 Final result  the induced force will rise until it is
equal and opposite to the load force, and the bar
again travels in steady state condition, but at a
lower speed. See graphs below:

ENEE430
 Now, there is an induced force in
the direction of motion and power
is being converted from
electrical to mechanical form
to keep the bar moving.
 The power converted is Pconv =
eind I = Find v  An amount of
electric power equal to eind I is
consumed and is replaced by the
mechanical power Find v 
MOTOR
 The power converted in a real
rotating motor is: Pconv = τind ω

ENEE430
The Linear DC Machine as a Generator
 Assume the linear machine is operating under no-load
steady-state condition. A force in the direction of motion is
applied.
 The applied force

will cause the bar to accelerate in the direction of motion,
and the velocity v will increase.
 When the velocity increase, eind = v ↑ Bl will increase and
will be larger than VB.
 When eind > VB the current reverses direction.
 Since the current now flows up through the bar, it induces
a force in the bar (Find = ilB to the left). This induced force
opposes the applied force on the bar.
ENEE430
 End result  the induced force will be equal and
opposite to the applied force, and the bar will
move at a higher speed than before. The linear
machine is now converting mechanical power
Find v to electrical power eind i  GENERATOR
 The amount of power converted : Pconv = τind ω
 NOTE:
 The same machine acts as both motor and generator.
The only difference is whether the externally applied
force is in the direction of motion (generator) or opposite
to the direction of motion (motor).

ENEE430
 Electrically, eind > VB  generator
 eind < VB  motor
 whether the machine is a motor or a generator, both
induced force (motor action) or induced voltage
(generator action) is present at all times.
 Both actions are present, and it is only the relative
directions of the external forces with respect to the
direction of motion that determine whether the overall
machine behaves as a motor or as a generator.
 The machine was a generator when it moved rapidly
and a motor when it moved more slowly. But, whether it
was a motor or a generator, it always moved in the
same direction.
 There is a merely a small change in operating speed
and a reversal of current flow.
ENEE430
Starting problems with the Linear Machine
 This machine is supplied by a
250V dc source and internal
resistance R is 0.1 ohm.
 At starting, the speed of the
bar is zero, eind = 0. The
current flow at start is:
VB 250
istart    2500 A
R 0.1
 This current is very high (10x
in excess of the rated current).
 How to prevent?  insert an
extra resistance into the circuit
during starting to limit current
flow until eind builds up enough
to limit it, as shown here:

ENEE430
Example 1-10
 The linear dc machine is as shown
in (a).
 What is the machine’s maximum
starting current? What is the
steady state velocity at no load?
 Suppose a 30N force pointing to
the right were applied to the bar
(figure b). What would the steady-
state speed be? How much power
would the bar be producing or
consuming? How much power
would the bar be producing or
consuming? Is the machine acting
as a motor or a generator?
 Now suppose a 30N force pointing
to the left were applied to the bar
(figure c). What would the new
steady-state speed be? Is the
machine a motor or generator
now?
