The formula to calculate the pole arc (in electrical machines like motors and generators) isn’t typically referred to with a universal “pole arc formula,” as it may vary depending on specific parameters and contexts. However, a common consideration involves calculating the arc length at the surface of the machine’s rotor or stator.
Pole pitch, which is the peripheral distance between the centers of two adjacent poles, plays a crucial role. If you know the diameter of the rotor or stator (D) and the number of poles (P), you can calculate the pole pitch. Given that the circumference of the circle is πD (where D is the diameter), the pole pitch (τ) can be calculated as:
[ tau = frac{pi D}{P} ]
To find the pole arc (the arc length of one pole), you need additional information, such as the arc coverage factor or the specific dimensions of the pole. Without a specific coverage factor or angle, the exact “pole arc” calculation can vary. In some situations, the pole arc is directly measured or specified as a fraction of the pole pitch, reflecting the actual length of the magnet or coil surface that is active.
For electrical machines, the design might specify what fraction of the pole pitch is covered by the pole. If the pole covers (frac{2}{3}) of the pole pitch, for instance, and assuming full utilization of the available circumference, the pole arc (L) would be calculated as:
