I think that the gain mechanism in a HES might be that the HES behaves like a
Saturable reactor (mag amp) because most of the poles are on and saturates the core.


"When the core is unsaturated, it causes the coil acts as high impedance that supports a large voltage with little or no current. When saturated, the coil impedance drops to almost zero and allows current to flow with very little voltage drop."

We take the output phase of the generator (let it be one phase). We have a load of 1 kW at a mains voltage of 220V and a frequency of 50Hz (in order not to complicate things, we omit the frequency).

If you measure the maximum voltage at the generator terminals, then it should be 220V, the current at maximum full load 1000W / 220V = 4.55A
Let's say the resistance of the generator winding is 4 ohms, the load resistance is 220V / 4.55A = 48.3 ohms.
We can find out the EMF of the generator at the peak from the current formula for a given action.

I = (E-U) / (R +r) 
4.55A = (? - 220 V) / (48.3 ohm + 4 ohm)

We need to find out the level of voltage drop in the circuit from the formula: Ui = (R+r)*I  = (48.3 ohm + 4 ohm)* 4.55A = 239,8V

E = U+Ui = 220V + 239.8V = 459.8V

I = (E-U) / (R +r) 
4.55A = (459.8V - 220 V) / (48.3 ohm + 4 ohm)

What is the voltage drop to zero?

This is incredible....

Keep an eye out for press releases from Astra Energy ASRE . It's been several months since they formed the joint venture.
When they announce a manufacturer has been selected, you will soon after be able to purchase an ILPG and reverse engineer it..

The fact that the field is stronger in iron is clear. But we need not in iron, but in another, secondary winding. Probably when the field enters the iron, it intensifies, and when it exits towards the other winding, it weakens again. Is this the problem?

Kolbacict,

"Magnetic Circuits"

These are, in some sense, similar to Electric Circuits. Many differing schemes and configurations.
Can be a "big" subject and beyond the scope here, for me at least. Gets complex real fast.

Some CAE snap-shots were posted previously.

Magnetic Circuits are worth a study however, as it's all quite interesting!
