Magnetic Fields and Solenoid

Hi,

I am using the following magnetic core to make a solenoid of inductance 12u= H (A11)

formatting link

Part Number: ROD 6/ 20 /3C 90. Its 6mm in diameter, 20.3 mm in length and u= i =3D 2300.

I used the 20 AWG gauge solid wire.=20

You can find the schematic of the circuit at the following link=20 =20

The input to the inductor is 40 V peak to peak sine wave with a frequency o= f 100KHz.=20

Problems:

  1. The solenoid gets hot after 40 minutes when I put it in the magnetic fie= ld generated by some other coil. I do not know how much magnetic field is p= resent. But the solenoid (A11) is getting hot.=20

The magnetic core is rated for 100KHz and its Hysteresis curve is thin (pag= e 121, Figure 3). I do not know what is going on here. Can anyone give any = suggestions. How can I keep the temperature constant like 20 degrees above = ambient temperature and do not let it increase with time?=20

  1. Calculation of the self inductance of this solenoid (A11)=20

I found the following formulas on the internet

a) L =3D (u0 x N x N x A ) / l=20

u0 =3D 4x pi x10^-7 A =3D cross sectional area pi x r x r=20 N =3D Number of turns l =3D length of the wire

b) L =3D (u0 x ur x N x N x A ) / l=20

Which one is correct? And if formula b is correct than what will be the val= ue of ur for the core that I am using?=20

Both formula's are correct, but the effective permeability - u - of the ferrite rod will be hard to work out.

A quick google search on "inductance of a solenoid" found this

amongst others.

offers you a calculator. This tells you that the effective permeability of iron is about 200 in this context. Your ferrite rod will have a lower effective permeability, but probably not all that much lower.

This isn't a clever way to make an inductor.

Hello,

try to increase the distance between both coils. Also try to rotate one coil by 90 °.

Bye

I'm estimating that you have about 90 or so turns on the rod to get the

12uH. From that I estimate that your resistance is about 1 ohm at 100kHz. The reactance of your specified inductance (12uH) is about 7.5 ohms, so the impedance magnitude is about 7.6 ohms. Your 14V RMS (40V p-p) will result in about 1.86A. Put that through about 1 ohm and you have about 3.5W dissipation in a device that is roughly the size of a 2W through-hole resistor.

This does not include the load.

My conclusion is that you need more inductance.
