Optimization and simulation of operating electromagnets in high-voltage switches based on Ansys-Maxwell

Operating electromagnets in high-voltage switches are the key components connecting control systems and mechanical systems. It is necessary to optimize the design of electromagnet. Through the example of an actual product, the winding method of electromagnet coil is analysed, is proposed a way to optimize the ampere-turns of coil this paper also focus on when the power and shape size are given. And simulating parametrization designs of different armature radiuses and end face structures are carried out with finite element analysis software AnsysMaxwell. The optimized design can be obtained by comparing the simulation results. Experiment shows that the new design is superior to the original design on power and output force. The rated power is reduced from 370W to 220W, and the output force and load force are more matched.
