What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform magnetomotive force units from milliampere-turns to kiloampere-turns, allowing for easy scaling between small coil excitations and larger magnetic circuit values.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in milliampere-turns (mAt) that you want to convert.
  • Select milliampere-turn as the input unit and kiloampere-turn as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the result in kiloampere-turns (kAt).

Key Features

  • Converts magnetomotive force units between milliampere-turns and kiloampere-turns.
  • Supports magnetic circuit design and electromagnetic device engineering needs.
  • Provides quick, browser-based calculations without installation.

Examples

  • 500,000 mAt converts to 0.5 kAt using the conversion factor.
  • 1,000,000 mAt equals 1 kAt by multiplying with the given ratio.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying small coil excitations in sensors and actuators.
  • Designing magnetic circuits for inductors, transformers, and magnetic sensors.
  • Calculating coil drive needs for relays or electronic devices with low current.
  • Engineering electromagnets and solenoids by selecting suitable coil turns and currents.
  • Analyzing magnetic circuits for large electrical machines and superconducting magnets like MRI systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use milliampere-turns for low-current and small-coil magnetomotive force measurements.
  • Apply kiloampere-turns for large MMF values in heavy electromagnets and electrical machines.
  • Ensure correct unit scaling to maintain accuracy in magnetic circuit designs.

Limitations

  • Choosing an inappropriate unit scale can misrepresent magnetomotive force magnitude.
  • Milliampere-turns suit small devices; kiloampere-turns suit large-scale electromagnets.
  • Precision and scale must be considered depending on the magnetic circuit application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a milliampere-turn (mAt)?
A milliampere-turn is a unit of magnetomotive force equal to one milliampere current multiplied by one coil turn, representing a small excitation in magnetic circuits.

When should I use kiloampere-turns (kAt)?
Kiloampere-turns are used for large magnetomotive forces, such as in the design of heavy electromagnets, electrical machine field windings, and superconducting magnet specifications.

How do I convert mAt to kAt?
Multiply the milliampere-turn value by 0.000001 to get the equivalent kiloampere-turn value.
