What are the factors affecting the selection of Maximum flux density?

1 Answer

Answer :

1. Net core weight: Higher the flux density lesser net weight of core.
2.Saving in copper:Higher the flux density lesser mean turn of windings.
3.Overall economy: Higher the flux density lesser net weight of core and windings. Hence cheaper
4.Net weight: Due to above reasons weight is also reduced.
5. High magnetizing current due to higher flux density
6. High Flux density results in high losses
7. High Flux density results in high losses and hence efficiency decreases
8.Hence high temperature rise and noise
