Abstract

A magnetic contactor is a switching device widely used for electric circuits. For the operation of magnetic contactors, magnetic coils are essential; these coils create and interrupt the electric circuit. In this paper, the finite element analysis model was developed to reflect the experimental data, and was verified through alteration of the applied voltages and the numbers of turns. Effects of electromagnetic force on the geometrical variations of the facing poles for fixed and moving cores of two magnet coils were investigated. In addition, effects of slope and air gap size between two facing poles on the electromagnetic force were explored through the distribution of the magnetic flux density in the magnetic coils of a push-type solenoid. Through this analysis, the characteristics of the electromagnetic force against the facing poles were explored.

전자접촉기는 전기 회로에 사용하는 개폐기 중 하나로 산업계 전반에 걸쳐서 폭 넓게 사용되고 있다. 이 전자접촉기의 구동부인 전자코일은 전기 회로를 개폐하는 역할을 맡고 있고 전자접촉기의 동작 성능에 중요한 역할을 한다. 이 논문은 유한요소법을 이용하여 실험데이터를 반영한 해석 모델을 구현하였으며 인가전압과 권선수의 변화에 대한 전자기력의 특성 확인을 통해 해석 모델을 검증하였다. 두 전자코일의 구동 코어와 고정 코어의 접촉부 변화에 따른 전자기력의 특성을 연구하였다. Push형 솔레노이드 구조의 전자코일에서 두 코어 접촉부의 기울기에 따른 구조의 전자기력 특성을 접촉부의 자속밀도 분포를 통해 해석하였다. 또한 접촉부 사이 air gap의 변화에 의한 구조가 자속밀도 분포에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 이를 통하여 전자코일의 코어 접촉면에 따른 전자기력의 특성을 연구하였다.
