True/False: magnetic loading and teeth flux density
Short answer
FALSE. Higher specific magnetic loading raises gap flux density, which increases tooth flux density, not lowers it.
State and justify whether the following statement is TRUE or FALSE: Higher specific magnetic loading lowers the flux density in teeth.
FALSE.
The teeth carry the gap flux through an iron area smaller than the gap area (tooth width is less than slot pitch). Tooth flux density is roughly
So a higher specific magnetic loading (higher , hence higher ) raises the flux density in the teeth. This is why is limited: tooth density should not exceed about 2.1–2.2 Wb/m², otherwise the teeth saturate and a large field mmf is needed.
Example: with Wb/m², slot pitch 30 mm, tooth width 15 mm and , Wb/m²; raising to 1.0 Wb/m² gives Wb/m², which is already at the saturation limit.
