Area of Field Conductor Formula Elements

Variables
Area of Field Conductor
Area of field conductor is the cross-sectional area of a wire is directly proportional to the square of its radius (A = πr2), and hence to the diameter of the wire as well.
Symbol: Af
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Full Load Field MMF
Full Load Field MMF refers to the magnetic field produced by the field winding when the machine is operating at its full load conditions.
Symbol: MMFf
Measurement: Magnetomotive ForceUnit: AT
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Resistivity
Resistivity plays a crucial role in the design of electrical machines. It is a property that characterizes the resistance of a material to the flow of electric current.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: Electric ResistivityUnit: Ω*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length of Mean Turn
Length of mean turn is calculated using an empirical formula lmt = 2L+2.5τp+0.06kv+0.2 where L is the gross length of the stator and τp is pole pitch in meter.
Symbol: Lmt
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Field Coil Voltage
The field coil voltage refers to the voltage applied to the field winding or field coil of a rotating machine, such as a generator or motor.
Symbol: Ef
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
