The Use of Electromagnetic Levitation with a Tracking System as a Quality Management Mechanism in the Electric Power Industry: Electrical Part

Abstract

This article discusses the use of electromagnetic levitation with a tracking system as a quality management mechanism in the electric power industry, and other related methods of magnetic levitation. The analysis of existing magnetic levitation devices, both analog devices and digital control, was also carried out. The existing electronic circuit of a levitron based on the interaction of 6 electromagnets with each other was considered, the pros and cons of this circuit were described. The novelty of the article lies in the proposed modified electrical circuit with the replacement of radio components, as well as in the creation of electromagnets with proper quality control. In the schematic diagram, field-effect transistors, operational amplifiers were replaced, and 2 variable resistors were added, connected to the inverting input of the operational amplifier to control the location of the levitating magnet, and a 200uf field capacitor for more stable operation of the circuit. 2 inductors, an operational amplifier and a number of related electronic components have also been removed. The solenoids were developed taking into account the national standard GOST R IEC 1007–96 “Transformers and inductors used in electronic equipment and long-distance communication equipment” in accordance with paragraphs 4.2 “External inspection”, 4.2.1”Position of the protective screen”. The main characteristics and photos of the developed solenoids are also presented.
