Circuit coupling: principles
Introduction
The numerical analysis of electrical devices can be restricted by the complexity of the power supply. It may be difficult to get the values of the supplying voltages and/or currents of the different electrical circuits of the device.
By introducing the electrical equations directly into the software of magnetic field computation, the field - circuit coupling allows the treating of electrical conductors and of their supply circuit.
Utilization example
The field - circuit coupling allows, for example, the simulation of:
- a D.C. electrical machine with commutator and the supplying circuit of the machine winding
- a variable reluctance electrical machine whose coils are supplied by a chopper
- a transformer with the primary winding connected to a supplying network and the secondary winding connected to a load circuit
