Hi!

Sorry if I placed that post in a wrong way...
I need some help in optimizing an electromagnet for my company. All the parameters (like material/dimension of the core etc) are constant, I am not allowed to change them. The only what can vary now is a diameter and number of windings of the wire inside. Details concerning the electromagnet:
- E-I shaped steel core with the gap of around 2 mm (between the E and I part).
- The area of the intersection of the E-shape is 3800 mm2.
- Material used for the coil itself is an 'enamel' copper wire.
- The magnet is supplied by 320 V, ~50 Hz AC.
- The power consumption should be around 1 A.
- The electromagnetic force should be as high as possible.

Does anybody here have any experience with the AC magnets? I cannot find too many resources concerning this problem on the web. I'll appreciate any help.

Cheers
