Can anyone suggest some good references (books, websites, etc.) for AC solenoid design. I am trying to improve chatter or hum of one of my products, and I cannot find any info on how to properly model and analyze the shading coil geometry and performance. Not a lot of people can make good AC...
I design solenoids, and my questions is relatively simple. When comparing 2 materials B/H curves, how do I tell which material will provide me with the better magnetomotive force in my solenoid application? I have a magnetic FEA program and can model different materials, but my results are...
