CONTROL CURRENT METHOD OF THE CONCENTRATION OF FERROMAGNETIC ELEMENTS IN THE WORKING CHAMBER OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL INDUCTOR OF MAGNETIC FIELD DURING ITS OPERATION

Abstract

Introduction. A rotating magnetic field three-phase inductor designed for the technological processing of various substances is considered. The processing is carried out by ferromagnetic elements in the form of pieces of iron wire moving with a magnetic field. Problem. The control problem of the concentration of ferromagnetic elements in the working chamber of the inductor is solved. This is necessary in order to replenish the chamber in time with elements that wear out but without interrupting the processing. Methodology. The proposed control method consists in observing the current of the inductor stator winding, which is carried out during its operation and does not require intervention in the technological process of processing. Results. The theoretical substantiation of the method is given and a practical calculation evaluation of its adequacy is made on the example of a specific inductor. The theory and practice of the method are based on numerical calculations of the magnetic field, electromagnetic parameters and the angular characteristics of the inductor. Practical value. The practical use of the method is to automatically determine the time of reloading the chamber with ferromagnetic elements that are worn out during the inductor operation. This increases the performance of the inductor and eliminates its downtime. References 10, figures 8.
