Stator ring connection and coils question

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on determining the number of windings required for coils on a 6-coil steel stator ring powered by 3-phase AC to achieve a magnetic field strength of approximately 1.3T. The standard solenoid formula B=mu*N*L is suggested for calculating the necessary windings. The conversation also explores the feasibility of using a standard AC plug versus a DC power supply for powering the coils, emphasizing the need for a solid understanding of electric machine theory before proceeding with design.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric machine theory
  • Familiarity with magnetic field calculations using B=mu*N*L
  • Knowledge of AC and DC power supply characteristics
  • Experience with coil winding techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research electric machine theory through online courses or textbooks
  • Learn about the implications of using AC versus DC power supplies for coil applications
  • Study the principles of magnetic field generation in electric motors
  • Explore coil winding techniques specific to stator design
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, hobbyists designing electric motors, and anyone interested in the principles of magnetic field generation in stator applications.

Hello everyone:

I am trying to find a program or formula that will help me figure out how many windings, turns of coil, are needed per coil on a 6 coil steel stator ring powered by 3-phase AC power to get a certain magnetic field strength, about 1.3T. Is there any way that you could help me find out how many windings are needed per coil? Would I use the standard solenoid formula B=mu*N*L?

Could I use a standard ac plug with one hot leg and one neutral to power my steel stator ring coils, 6 total, to create a rotating magnetic field? If so, how would I connect the coils together and how would I connect those interconnections to the one hot leg and one neutral leg? And how would this affect the number of turns needed for each coil? Which would be better, Using a DC power supply or AC power from a plug with one hot leg and one neutral leg?
If DC is better to create the rotating magnetic field, how would I connect the six coils together and how would I connect those interconnections to a DC power supply

Thanks so much for the help.
Stephen
