High current inductive energy storage
Abstract
Energy storage inductors used in aerospace applications must be designed to have as low a mass as possible and very small magnetic fringing fields. A 14 micro-H toroidal inductor rated at 10 kA for up to 10 sec has been built and tested at the Wright Aeronautical Laboratories. The inductor is cooled with nitrogen to decrease the coil resistance and increase the L/R time constant. The coil features an open 'sectored' configuration that improves cooling capability and makes it possible to construct very high current toroidal coils.
