Frequently Asked Questions

What does kiloampere-turn measure?
A kiloampere-turn (kAt) measures magnetomotive force as the product of coil current and the number of turns, equal to 1,000 ampere-turns.

Why convert kiloampere-turns to milliampere-turns?
Converting to milliampere-turns allows expressing magnetomotive force at a smaller scale, useful for low-current precision designs in sensors and actuators.

Is the conversion affected by magnetic materials?
No, the conversion is purely linear and does not account for magnetic material properties or thermal effects influencing the actual magnetomotive force.

Key Terminology

kiloampere turn [kAt]
A magnetomotive force unit equal to 1,000 ampere-turns, representing coil current multiplied by the number of turns.
milliampere turn [mAt]
A magnetomotive force unit equal to one milliampere of current times one coil turn, representing 0.001 ampere-turns.
Magnetomotive Force (MMF)
The driving quantity that produces magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit, calculated as current multiplied by coil turns.
