INTRODUCTION TO TEAM 32 PROBLEM

The purpose of those TEAM [1] benchmarking activities is to test electromagnetic analysis
methods, determine the validity and limitations of both the methods and the software to be
used, investigate how to build correct computation models, observe the electromagnetic
field behavior of key product based constructions in detail, and demonstrate the ability to
solve practical problems [2]

The TEAM 32 [3-5] presents a magnetic problem that aims to verify hysteresis modeling
methodologies, once the windings configurations generate hysteresis internal loops and
rotating magnetic field.

The main objective of this report is to present the results obtained with Maxwell for all the
problems proposed in the TEAM 32 problem.

INTRODUCTION TO TEAM 32 PROBLEM

GEOMETRY
The geometry is relatively simple once it just Magnetic
contains two windings and a magnetic core Windings core
A symmetry was applied in the XY plane
The TEAM 32 paper presents some magnetic
results for specific points in the magnetic core.
The points used in this comparison are
presented in the following figure
Each point represent the center of the coil used
to measure the magnetic induction in that
specific position
Those C3 and C4 points represent two coils 90
shifted, in order to measure the field in both X
and Y directions.

INTRODUCTION TO TEAM 32 PROBLEM

MATERIAL
The material is non-oriented grain, that
simplifies the model due to the absence of
anisotropy
Hysteresis loops are provided for magnetic
induction from 0.2T up to 1.68T
With this loops, a BH curve and the coercive
magnetic field is extracted and implemented in
Maxwell Hyst. loops

CASE 1

It is possible to verify that there is not rotating field, once the windings are set with the
same phase.

CASE2

CIRCUIT CONNECTION RESULTS COMPARISON

Windings current

Two series-connected windings fed by a voltage


source
A 10Hz and its fifth harmonic is applied in order to
verify the inner loops in the hysteresis loop

CASE 2

FIELD DISTRIBUTION PLOTS


It is possible to verify the pulsation in the magnetic induction due the fifth harmonic used
in the voltage source.

CASE 2

INNER LOOPS
The inner loops happen because of the
harmonic in voltage source
This is an important result once the area
of these internal loops are added at the
main loop, increasing the hysteresis loss

CASE 3

CIRCUIT CONNECTION RESULTS COMPARISON

Windings current

Magnetic induction
locus at coils C3
Two windings fed by two and C4
independent voltage sources
One voltage source is shifted by
90 electrical degrees in order to
generated rotating magnetic field Simulated

CASE 3

FIELD DISTRIBUTION PLOTS


It is possible to verify the rotating field at the T corner (end of the center leg)
This phenomena is clearly presented in the previous slide, using the magnetic induction
locus relating Bx and By
This is an important result because this phenomena also increase the core loss

CASE 4

CIRCUIT CONNECTION RESULTS COMPARISON

Windings current

Magnetic induction

The voltage source is applied in


one winding
The other winding is connected
to a load, i.e. a series resistor

CASE 4

FIELD DISTRIBUTION PLOTS


The magnetic induction is considerably higher along the leg with the fed winding

CONCLUSIONS

THE MAGNETIC BEHAVIOR OF THIS KIND OF MATERIAL IS


NOT EASY TO FULL UNDERSTAND

IT IS NECESSARY COMPLEX MODELING METHODOLOGIES


(VECTOR HYSTERESIS) TO ANALYZE THIS KING OF
MAGNETIC BEHAVIOR

THE PRESENTED RESULTS ARE CLOSED WITH THOSE


MEASURED AND INDICATE THAT MAXWELL IS PROPERLY
DEVELOPED TO MODEL THESE MATERIALS

THE USE OF THE TEAM PROBLEMS IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL


TO VALIDATE COMPUTATIONAL CODES. BESIDES THAT, THIS
KIND OF VALIDATION ENSURES THAT THE CODES ARE
CAPABLE TO MODEL REAL ENGINEERING PROBLEMS.
