Working at the maximum possible induction in the core of the welding transformer allows you to reduce the cross section of the core. To use this feature, you need to know the value of the maximum induction for the selected core material.

Here the situation is complicated by the fact that an amateur designer usually deals with transformer iron of an unknown brand. Trying to use this iron, they often choose an underestimated value of the maximum induction, which, in turn, leads to an unjustified increase in the size and weight of the welding transformer.

Following is the iron test method, using which it is possible to determine the saturation induction of the transformer iron available.

First, from the existing transformer iron, you need to assemble a test closed core with a cross section of 5-10 cm2. The cross section of the core is determined by multiplying the thickness of the plate by its width and the total number of plates. On the resulting core, it is necessary to wind the winding with a voltage of 1,5-2,5 V (~ 2 turns) with a soft insulated wire with a cross section of 5-10 mm50. Then you need to measure the active resistance Robm windings and calculate the average length of the magnetic field line Lc core. Using the formula in Fig. 18.22, you can calculate the average length of the magnetic field line of the core core.

On fig. 18.23 shows a circuit that allows you to determine the value of the saturation induction of the tested core. The power of the transformer T is not less than 63 VA. The measurement results are entered in the second and third columns of the table. 18.4.

The values ​​in columns 4 and 5 of the table are calculated using the formulas given. Then, using the data of columns 5 and 6 (H ~ - the intensity of the alternating magnetic field, B - induction in the core), we build a graph of the magnetization curve of the tested core (Fig. 18.24).

On fig. 18.24 shows the graphical constructions necessary to find the values ​​of saturation induction Bs, maximum induction Bm and the maximum intensity of the alternating magnetic field of the core H~.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Toothbrush with Bluetooth 4.0 08.05.2014

The world's first toothbrush connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0, the Oral-B Smart Series, has gone on sale.

The Oral-B Smart Series Electric Toothbrush uses a wireless interface to interact with the Oral-B App, currently available on iOS. An Android version is expected in August. The application takes into account the user's activity and provides recommendations for brushing teeth, reminding you when it's time to move to another area, and warning if the user is overzealous.

The user can analyze the statistics collected by the application on their own or provide the doctor with personal recommendations for more effective dental care.

The Pro 6000 costs £230, the Limited Edition Pro 6500 £250. While sales are limited, the wonder brushes should be available on Amazon in June and other retailers in July.
