Field Resistance Formula Elements

Variables
Field Resistance
Field resistance refers to the electrical resistance of the field winding or field coil in a machine such as a generator or motor.
Symbol: Rf
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Turns per Coil
Turns per coil refers to the number of turns or windings of wire in each coil of the machine's winding system.
Symbol: Tc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
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.
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.

How to Evaluate Field Resistance?

Field Resistance evaluator uses Field Resistance = (Turns per Coil*Resistivity*Length of Mean Turn)/Area of Field Conductor to evaluate the Field Resistance, Field resistance is resistance of each field coil at 75 °C.Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms. Field Resistance is denoted by Rf symbol.

How to evaluate Field Resistance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Field Resistance, enter Turns per Coil (Tc), Resistivity (ρ), Length of Mean Turn (Lmt) & Area of Field Conductor (Af) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Field Resistance

What is the formula to find Field Resistance?
The formula of Field Resistance is expressed as Field Resistance = (Turns per Coil*Resistivity*Length of Mean Turn)/Area of Field Conductor. Here is an example- 0.51 = (204*2.5E-05*0.25)/0.0025.
How to calculate Field Resistance?
With Turns per Coil (Tc), Resistivity (ρ), Length of Mean Turn (Lmt) & Area of Field Conductor (Af) we can find Field Resistance using the formula - Field Resistance = (Turns per Coil*Resistivity*Length of Mean Turn)/Area of Field Conductor.
Can the Field Resistance be negative?
No, the Field Resistance, measured in Electric Resistance cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Field Resistance?
Field Resistance is usually measured using the Ohm[Ω] for Electric Resistance. Megohm[Ω], Microhm[Ω], Volt per Ampere[Ω] are the few other units in which Field Resistance can be measured.
