1. Magnetic circuits
• Let’s consider a conductor through which a current circulates.
This conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, so it will be
subjected to a force:

1. Magnetic circuits
• Diamagnetic materials:
– They are attracted to the regions in which the magnetic field is less
intense.
r 1 Examples: Cu, Bi, Au, Ag, Hg
• Paramagnetic materials:
– They are attracted to the regions in which the magnetic field is more
intense.
• Ferromagnetic materials:
– They are attracted to the regions in which the magnetic field is much
more intense.

– The circulation of the magnetic field (H) through a closed path equals
the sum of currents that cross any surface in the path.

8. Electrical machines classification
• Asynchronous (or induction) machines:
– Field (stator):
• 3 windings shifted 120º in space + fed by three-phase balanced sinusoidal
currents and shifted 120º in time.
• A rotating magnetic field is produced (Ferraris’ theorem).
– Armature (rotor):
• The rotating magnetic field in the stator induces e.m.f. in the rotor windings.
• As the rotor windings are short-circuited, the induced e.m.f. creates a current
that circulates through them.
• Let’s consider a conductor through which a current circulates and this
conductor is placed inside a magnetic field. Then, this conductor is under the
action of a force (Laplace law):
63
– Due to the force, the rotor starts rotating but it never reaches the
synchronous speed (the rotor speed is always under this value).
