Formulae to calculate No of Turn of solenoid:

1) Calculate Anchor spring force (F1).

2) Mechanism trip force: (60-80gm)(F2)

3) Actual Force (F) of the system is

F= (F1+F2) gms

4) Dia of coil rivet in which magnetic flux is produced (D).

D=5.5mm

5) Area of coil rivet (A) is A=(πD²) mm²

6) Flux density generated in coil (B) is derived as:

The coil is comprised of many turns of tightly wound copper wire .When
current flows through the wire it creates a strong magnetic flux path
which flows around the coil and through its centre in a doughnut shape.
The plunger is round in shape with a positive cone on one end. When
inserted into the centre of the coil it concentrates the magnetism still
more. The plunger’ conical surface mates with a negative cone at the
bottom of the field casing to provide a large area of flux transfer and a
better force/strike characteristic.

The Force required to move the plunger is:

F= A B2 N
2 µ˚
 B= Sqrt (F x µ˚) wb/m² or Tesla
(0.051 A)
Where µ˚ =Permeability of air, 4πΧ10ˉ7 Tesla meter/Amp(Tm/A)

7) Magneto motive Force set up by the coil is

MMF= nI =∫ H.dl

Assuming uniformity of field and uniform gap length

MMF=H x lg

Where lg=distance moved by plunger to trip the mechanism.

MMF (air gap) = (H Χ lg) by using equation B=µ˚ H

µ˚
MMF per coil Turn= 796178 x B x lg

(0.051 A)
Where µ˚ =Permeability of air, 4πΧ10ˉ7 tesla meter per ampere
