Principle of

electromechanical
energy conversion
• electromechanical-energy-conversion process, which takes place
through the medium of the electric or magnetic field of the
conversion device
• Devices for measurement and control are frequently referred to as
transducers
• A second category of devices encompasses force-producing devices
• A third category includes continuous energy-conversion equipment
such as motors and generators.
SINGLY-EXCITED MAGNETIC
FIELD SYSTEMS
1. Energy in those devices is stored in the leakage fields and to some extent in the core itself. However,
the stored energy does not enter directly into the transformation process.
2. In this chapter we are dealing with energy-conversion systems; the magnetic circuits have air gaps
between the stationary and moving members in which considerable energy is stored in the magnetic
field.
3. This field acts as the energy-conversion medium, and its energy is the reservoir between the electric
and mechanical systems.
4. Consider the electromagnetic relay shown schematically in Fig. 1.1. The resistance of the excitation
coil is shown as an external resistance R, and the mechanical terminal variables are shown as a force
fnd produced by the magnetic field directed from the relay to the external mechanical system and a
displacement x;
5. Mechanical losses can be included as external elements connected to the mechanical terminal.
6. Similarly, the moving armature is shown as being massless; its mass represents mechanical energy
storage and can be included as an external mass connected to the mechanical terminal.
7. This relay structure is essentially the same as the magnetic structures of an inductance L which is a
function of the geometry of the magnetic structure and the permeability of the magnetic material.
8. Electromechanical-energy-conversion devices contain air gaps in their magnetic circuits to separate
the moving parts.
MULTIPLY-EXCITED OR DOUBLY EXITED
MAGNETIC
FIELD SYSTEMS
• Many electromechanical devices have multiple electrical terminals.
• In measurement systems it is often desirable to obtain torques proportional to two electric
signals; a meter which determines power as the product of voltage and current is one example.
• Similarly, most electromechanical-energy-conversion devices consist of multiply excited
magnetic field systems.
• Analysis of these systems illustrates these techniques based on a system with two electric
terminals. A schematic representation of a simple system with two electrical
• terminals and one mechanical terminal is shown in Fig. Below In this case it represents a
system with rotary motion, and the mechanical terminal variables are torque Tnd and angular
displacement 0.
• Since there are three terminals, the system must be described in terms of three independent
variables; these can be the mechanical angle 0 along with the flux linkages X1 and X2, currents i l
and i2, or a hybrid set including one current and one flux. 2
