Characteristic Analysis and Design of a Thomson Coil Actuator Using an Analytic Method and a Numerical Method

초록

The Thomson coil actuator (TCA) is a useful switch due to its simple structure and rapid completion time. However, research on the TCA is not widely available. Research on the TCA has been focused on the basic working principles and the characteristic analysis of the TCA. To address these problems, an analysis method and a design method for the TCA are proposed in this paper. Concretely, the analysis and the design method using a numerical method and an analytical method are proposed in this paper. The critical design variables are inspected in detail in this research. The correctness of the proposed methods and the usefulness of the TCA for the high speed switch are verified through an experiment.
