Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of a hybrid magnetoelectric voltage converter. The article deals with the magnetoelectric structure of the converter with its design features. The measuring stand with the calculation of the converter parameters is also described and the measurement results are given. In the manufacture of the ME element, materials such as piezoelectric PZT and magnetostrictive amorphous alloy Metglas were used. ME is a layered element, which consists of a PZT plate with electrodes applied to the lateral surfaces and one or more Metglas layers. The Metglas plates are connected to the piezoelectric using an adhesive bond. In experimental studies, the number of Metglas layers varied from one to three. The article discusses the design of the converter and the choice of the most optimal of the ones under study. As a result of the study, the lowest indicators were found for a converter without a core, the more Metglas layers, the better the characteristics of the converter. The ME element at the resonant frequency converts energy much better (the conversion power was about 130 μW) than the design of a conventional converter, and also a hybrid converter based on a series switching circuit gives an even greater gain in energy conversion (the conversion power was about 180 μW).
