A sinusoidal current carrying conductor is surrounded by nonlinear ferromagnetic core.
Problem Type:
A plane-parallel problem of nonlinear AC magnetics.
Geometry:
Given:
Total current I = 500 A.
Frequency f = 50 Hz.
Core BH-curve: H = 100·B2
Problem:
Calculate B and H distribution along the radius r.
Results:
To calculate the sinusoidal filed distribution in nonlinear core we should use the modified curve B'(H) (see Formulations in AC Magnetics).
In this particular case the modified BH-curve can be calculated as B`(H) = B(H) * (1 + 1/sqrt(180))
