Abstract

This paper attempts to describe how finite element field analysis methods are being employed in the design of electrical machines. It discusses results and experience obtained from finite element analysis application to electrical machines-for linear and nonlinear electric and magnetic field problems-in order to gain useful design information from this numerical analysis tool. It presents various applications covering magnetic constants describing the air gap flux. Slot leakage, leakage path permeance evaluation, and the detailed studies of field distribution and its effects. This work produces design and performance data and computation tools which will help engineers to design highly rateo' electrical machines capable of meeting normal and abnormal operating conditions reliably and with economy.
