The method for determining the induced electromotive force caused by a change in magnetic flux in a circuit usually follows Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction describes the induced electromotive force (EMF) due to changes in magnetic flux, as follows:

The meanings of the symbols are as follows:


  • E stands for induced electromotive force (volts, V).


  • N is the number of turns of the coil.


  • ΔΦB is the change in magnetic flux through the coil (unit: Weber, Wb).


  • Δt is the time (in seconds, s) required for the magnetic flux to change.



Application steps of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction


  • Determine the magnetic flux: First you need to determine the magnetic flux through the coil. The magnetic flux ΦB can be calculated by the following formula:

Here B is the magnetic induction intensity (unit: tesla, T), A is the effective area perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field (unit: square meters, m²), and θ is the Angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the normal direction of the coil plane.


  • Calculate the change in magnetic flux: If the magnetic flux changes with time, you need to calculate the change in magnetic flux over a period of time ΔΦB= ΦB, final−ΦB,initial


  • Determine the time interval: Determine the time interval Δt required to change the magnetic flux.



  • Faraday's Law is applied: Finally, the change in magnetic flux is divided by the time interval and multiplied by the number of turns of the coil N, you get the induced electromotive force.


  • Direction judgment: According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced electromotive force always causes the current generated by it to produce a magnetic field, which will hinder the change of the original magnetic field. That is, the direction of the induced electromotive force always tries to counteract the change in magnetic flux that causes it.

Working Voltage in Power System
Working Voltage in Power System
Working VoltageThe term "working voltage" refers to the maximum voltage that a device can withstand without sustaining damage or burning out, while ensuring the reliability, safety, and proper operation of both the device and associated circuits.For long-distance power transmission, the use of high voltage is advantageous. In AC systems, maintaining a load power factor as close to unity as possible is also economically necessary. Practically, heavy currents are more challenging to handle than hi

Frequency division method for measuring grid-to-ground insulation parameters
Frequency division method for measuring grid-to-ground insulation parameters
The frequency division method enables the measurement of grid-to-ground parameters by injecting a current signal of a different frequency into the open delta side of the potential transformer (PT).This method is applicable to ungrounded systems; however, when measuring the grid-to-ground parameters of a system where the neutral point is grounded via an arc suppression coil, the arc suppression coil must be disconnected from operation beforehand. Its measurement principle is shown in Figure 1.As

The insulation parameters of the power grid to ground are measured by the tuning method
The tuning method is suitable for measuring the ground parameters of systems where the neutral point is grounded via an arc suppression coil, but not applicable to ungrounded neutral point systems. Its measurement principle involves injecting a current signal with continuously varying frequency from the secondary side of the Potential Transformer (PT), measuring the returned voltage signal, and identifying the system's resonant frequency.During the frequency sweeping process, each injected heter

Effect of Transition Resistance at the Grounding Point on the Rising Speed of Zero - sequence Voltage
Effect of Transition Resistance at the Grounding Point on the Rising Speed of Zero - sequence Voltage
In an arc - suppression coil grounding system, the rising speed of the zero - sequence voltage is greatly affected by the value of the transition resistance at the grounding point. The larger the transition resistance at the grounding point, the slower the rising speed of the zero - sequence voltage.In an ungrounded system, the transition resistance at the grounding point has basically no impact on the rising speed of the zero - sequence voltage.Simulation Analysis: Arc - suppression Coil Ground
