Numerical Analysis and Experimentation of a Novel Self-Excited and Liquid-Coo…

To overcome the serious thermal recession problem that has been associated with the braking torque of conventional eddy current brakes, and to conserve energy, this paper has proposed a novel self-excited eddy current retarder (S-ECR). The design includes a stator with an internally cooled channel, a rotor with double salient poles, and a built-in generator. The electromagnetic field analysis …
