Where
is EMF (Volts)
B is Magnetic Flux (Webers)
is number of turns of wire
Principle involved
Lenzs Law
A induced electromotive force (emf) always gives rise to a
current whose magnetic field opposes the original change in
magnetic flux.
Where
is EMF (Volts)
B is Magnetic Flux (Webers)
Construction
An eddy current brake basically consists of
two members:
A stationary magnetic
field
A solid rotatory disc
Construction
Stator consists of pole core, pole shoe, and field winding.
The field winding is wounded on the pole core.
Pole core and pole shoes are made of east steel laminations
Parameters of Construction
Working
conductivity, r
rotates at the face of a ring of magnetic poles of alternate
polarity.
Each pole produces a magnetic excitation flux, NO which is
proportional to the excitation current within the coil as long as
the core is not saturated.
The lines of magnetic flux, N, form loops within the disc
through the very small air gap which is arranged between the
discs and the poles
Where
p : number of pair of poles
N : revolutions per minute of the disc
t : time variable in seconds

In ICE-V test train in the 1980s, it discovered that one of the
