Magnetic Switching Core Geometry

Abstract

This brief article documents calculations performed in an effort to identify an optimal geometry for compact low-inductance magnetic switches. The effects of magnetic core geometry on saturated inductance and mass for a constant magnetic switching flux are analyzed. This analysis demonstrates that there is not an exact optimum, but that saturated inductance and mass can be minimized for reasonable dimensional ratios.
