Calculations for impulse magnetising device

AI Thread Summary
Boris is seeking assistance in designing a magnetizing machine based on capacitor discharge for his service and rewind company, which repairs and rewinds electrical and servo motors. He faces challenges with calculations regarding system capacity and PCB design, as overheating from bearing failures often demagnetizes rotor magnets. While he can build the machine himself, he is also looking for affordable commercial options, noting that existing products from Germany and Belgium are too costly for his needs. A response highlights that such magnetizing machines require significant power, often resulting in large and expensive setups due to the high energy demands. The discussion emphasizes the complexity and scale of building an effective magnetizing device.

Hello,
I have been looking for a decent electrical forum for quite some time now.

Here is my problem. I own a service and rewind company where we rewind and service electrical motors. We also repair servo motors. A lot of times, due to bearing failure, the magnets on the rotor overheat and demagnetise. So I need to build a magnetising machine on the principal of capacitor discharge.
I would need help with calculations about capacity of the system, PCB design. I am able to build everything myself.
Or if someone knows a company that sell this equipment. I found a few in Germany and Belgium, but they sell industrial product meant for serial production and the cost of those machines is too much for me.

Regards,
Boris

A magnetizing machine is always BIG, because it must achieve several tesla, for which no magnetic core material exists, so this need many MW, and also many kJ.

In principle it's nothing more than a capacitor discharged through a thyristor into a coil, but when you put the induction and volume required, you get immediately uncomfortable figures which are unavoidable, and then losses add up, and you get tens of kA and capacitors taking 1m3...
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
