Temperature rise of a winding

Skills: Calculate

Statement

A machine winding has a resistance of 18 Ω at 25 °C. After some running time it has become 27.1 Ω. What is the temperature rise? (α = 0.0045 /°C)

Rθ₁ = 18 Ω · θ₁ = 25 °C · Rθ₂ = 27.1 Ω · α = 0.0045 /°C

Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.

Guided problem in 4 steps: unknown, formula, units, data, result.

1 hint from Bastaya available in the lab
Solution

θ₂ = 150 °C (method of the previous exercise); Δθ = θ₂ − θ₁ = 150 − 25 = 125 °C. This is how the heating of a winding is measured without a thermometer.

How does it work?

Each big hole is a circuit node: you push one leg of a component into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: chips and leads plug in there.

  1. Place a component Drag it from the palette: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. Bridge neighbouring holes Pick the jumper chip (or C) and drag on the board: bridged holes become a single node.
  3. Draw a lead For long links and the power supply: from one big hole to another, or to a terminal.
  4. Close the loop The circuit is solved live (Ohm, Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
