2D Eddy Current Excitations

The eddy current solver allows you to define the following sources of AC magnetic fields:


Excitation

Type of Excitation

Current

The total current in a conductor.

Parallel Current

The total current to be divided among several conductors in parallel. The method of dividing the current depends upon the choice of solid or stranded.

Current Density

The current density in a conductor. In this case, you must also define the current density terminals for the conductor.

Coil

Used to define one or more model windings.

End Connection

End connection is used to model details of the "squirrel cage" winding of induction machines, dampers in synchronous machines, etc.

Winding With Current

Current for both a stranded and solid conductor.

Winding With Voltage

Voltage for both a stranded and solid conductor.

Winding With External Circuit Connection

External circuit connection for both a stranded and solid conductor.
