Point where saturation occurs

Now let's compute some reluctances. For flux densities that are not saturated u := 1500 u 0 R 12 := ws + w w d u

R 56 := R12 R 23 := w 2 w d u

R 81 := R23 R 34 := g w d u 0

R eff := R 12 + R23 + R 34 + R45 + R 56 + R67 + R 78 + R81 R eff = 4.966 10

OK. Now, the cross sectional area we have is A := w d The flux where we saturate is sat := B sat A The current to achieve this flux sat N

Now lets change the gap to zero g := 0 R 34 := g w d u 0

We know saturated with very little current

i sat = 1.241 10

L :=

L = 52.36 10

The inductance of UI Core with no gap is much higher

E :=

L i sat

E = 40.346 10

Energy stored in inductor is much lower
