This model example shows dimensioning of a winding (wire diameter, number of turns) based on desired operating conditions (voltage, temperature, current density, conductor filling factor) for a given cross-section area of the winding. It can be modified according to the parameters given and sought after for a particular design project.
The calculated winding resistance and number of turns can be used as input parameters to the electrical subsystem of a device to be modelled. Operating voltage V_op can be minimum, nominal and maximum voltage respectively as specified for a particular design project. In conjunction with the setting of the operating temperature T_op, this enables for analysis of the device under worst-case conditions (e.g., minimum required magnetomotive force, maximum allowed ohmic losses, minimum and maximum force respectively).
For manufacturing of a winding, the obtained wire diameter d_wireCalculated must be rounded to that of an available wire. In order to analyse the influence of this rounding, one can enter the chosen wire diameter d_wireChosen and number of turns N_chosen as optional input. Calculation of the resulting winding parameters enables for comparison with the ones obtained otherwise.
