Abstract
General modeling criteria are presented for constructing liquid metal analogs for conducting paths in electrical machines. The use of mercury is specifically discussed as a convenient analog for solid copper and aluminum secondaries, and molten metal in electric furnaces. The construction of probes to measure flux and current density is presented, as are applications of the technique to bus bars, linear induction motors, and channel furnaces.
