Continuous current converters in the electrosphere
Abstract
The article presents the structure of non-contact ferromagnetic devices for the continuous conversion of strong direct currents and the features of our proposed wide-profile magneto modulating non-contact DC current converter with an extended controllable range for various industrial enterprises, transport, agriculture, and water management. It is distinguished from known devices by several advantages: the ability to continuously control strong and small currents, compact size and low weight, relatively high accuracy and sensitivity, simple and technologically advanced design, and the capability to continuously measure large constant and alternating currents. The study examines the influence of external magnetic fields on the proposed current converter from adjacent busbars with currents flowing in the same and opposite directions, as well as from a single busbar. The results show that the magnetic field from busbars with counter-directed currents has a greater influence. The developed magneto modulation non-contact device for the continuous conversion of strong direct currents is intended for use in various automatic systems in water supply, electrolysis plants, rolling mills, electricity meters, and many other areas.
