What is Magnetomotive Force Converter?
Magnetomotive force (MMF) is the driving force that establishes magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit, analogous to voltage in an electric circuit. It is produced by current flowing through coil windings and determines the strength of electromagnets, transformers, and motors.
Understanding the Units
Ampere-turn (At)
The SI unit of MMF. Product of current (amperes) and number of coil turns.
Common Uses: Electromagnet design, transformer specifications, motor windings
Gilbert (Gi)
The CGS unit of magnetomotive force.
Common Uses: Older electromagnetic literature
Conversion: 1 At ≈ 1.2566 Gi
Common Conversions
- Small solenoid valve coil: 50–200 At
- Relay coil: 100–500 At
- DC motor field winding: 500–5,000 At
- 1 Ampere-turn ≈ 1.2566 Gilbert
Conversion Formulas
- MMF = Number of turns × Current (F = N × I)
- Magnetic circuit Ohm's Law: F = Φ × Rm (flux × reluctance)
- Ampere-turn to gilbert: Gi = At × 1.2566
- Gilbert to ampere-turn: At = Gi ÷ 1.2566
Practical Examples
Electromagnet: 500 turns × 2 A = 1,000 At — sufficient to lift heavy iron objects
Relay coil: 1,000 turns × 50 mA = 50 At to close contacts
Transformer primary: 500 turns × 1 A = 500 At MMF drives the core flux
MRI magnet superconducting coil: millions of At to achieve 3 T field
