Analysis of Eddy Current Density Distribution in Slotless Traveling Wave Inductor

摘要

Compared with other known systems, the traveling wave (TW) inductor is considered to be more promising, because it could obtain more uniform heating. In this paper a 2D FEM code has been used with reference to a new double-side slotless TW inductor in order to analyse the distribution of the eddy current density in the moving metal strips. Results show that the slotless TW inductor has a more uniform eddy current density distribution than the slotless transverse flux （TF）inductor does.
