Efek Air Gap pada Rancang Bangun dan Uji Performa Generator Listrik Fluks Aksial Berbasis Magnet Permanen NdFeB

Abstrak:Dalam penelitian ini telah dianalisis efek air gap terhadap performa generator listrik tipe fluks aksial berbasismagnet permanen NdFeB. Analisis performa dilakukan dengan mengukur output tegangan generator listrik fluks aksialterhadap ukuran air gap dan kecepatan putar rotor. Air gap antara stator dan rotor divariasikan dari 7 sampai 20 mm. Darihasil eksperimen, peningkatan remanansi magnet berbanding lurus terhadap peningkatan output tegangan. Sebaliknya,peningkatan ukuran air gap menurunkan tegangan output secara linier. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya penurunan magnetikflux density secara exponensial. Pada ukuran air gap 7 mm dan kecepatan rotor 1500 rpm, dihasilkan output teganganmaksimal untuk Br = 0,2 dan 1,3 Tesla berturut-turut sebesar 10,4 dan 67,7 volt.Kata Kunci: air gap, generator listrik fluks aksial, ouput tegangan, magnet NdFeBAbstract:In this paper, the effect of air gap to the performance of NdFeB based permanent magnet axial flux electricalgenerator have been analyzed. The performance analysis was performed by measuring the ouput potential of generator asthe changing of air gap and rotational speed of rotor. The air gap was varied from 7 to 20 mm. Based on the experiment, theincreasing of magnetic remanence of permanent magnets was linearly corelated to the increasing of output voltage. On theother hand, increasing of the air gap was linearly reduced the ouput voltage. This effect is caused by the decreasing ofmagnetic flux densityexponentially. On the fixed air gap of 7 mm androtational speed of 1500 rpm, the maximum ouputvoltage is achived for Br = 0.2 and 1.3 Tesla  with the value of 10.4 and 67.7 volt, respectively.Keywords: air gap, axial flux electrical generator, ouput voltage, NdFeB magnets
