Hi,
Link 1 (Helmholtz coil Specifications) :
Link 2 ( Block System Diagram):
I am trying to power up the following 22 uH inductance coil (secondary coil) with 115nF capacitor in parallel at the resonant frequency of
100KHz using Helmholtz coil. The load connected to the secondary requires 100 mA at 3.3 V.The resonant frequency is 100 KHz. The problem is that the secondary coil gets really hot after like fifteen to twenty minutes.
How can I minimize this heating? Should I lower the Q of the secondary coil system ?
I do not have the means to measure the magnetic field generated by the Helmholtz coil. Helmholtz coil is getting around 4A of current measured with an ammeter.
I have also tried coils with values less than 22uH, smaller radius and different resonant capacitor. I am driving the Helmholtz coil using Full H bridge.
Thanks jess
